Hello all, I recently posted an introduction thread and am eager to ask your advice on an issue I'm having. I recently got my CL450 (1974) running and it is running well- a little rich on the right side but that is solvable. My question is this- I went to adjust the timing and the left side...

Hello New comer to the forum. Hello I have a 1970 Honda sl350 k1 with some electrical issue got a new battery when I turn on the bike and at idle it will run quite low anywhere between 11.7 if the bike took some kick to start to 12.7 if the battery has freshly charge and fire up on the first...

Hey all, wanted to ask around here, but my cl350 rebuild had been going smoothly, had spark to both sides, compressions etc. rebuilt my carbs and put them back on, and haven't touched the electrical, and when I went to try to turn over the bike I was getting no spark and the starter switch...

Hello all, First post here. So, I took my bike to a repair shop and they did some troubleshooting on the bike. 1972 Honda SL 125 What was good: they said the engine had good compression the timing was good What was bad: even though new battery (must have sat too long) battery was not good...

Now that i have my ‘69 CT90 running fairly well i kept having an issue where it would die as soon as i would turn on the headlight. Got a new rectifier and bike seems to stay on after i turn on the headlight but now i noticed that the horn doesn't seem to go off while headlight is on, but goes...

Hello, I'm a new member, new motorcycle owner, and new rider. So new in every sense. :) I recently purchased a 1978 Honda CB400A Hawk Hondamatic. It has 11,000 miles on it and overall seems well cared for. It has a Lithium Ion battery in it and a newer LED headlight installed. All the other...

I have a surplus of 6.3mm spade terminals (common size for the canon plugs on these vintage bikes). There's about 60 total of the male terminals, and about 200 of the female terminals. Not sure where that other bag is. If I find it I'll update the thread. Despite their look, they are tinned...

looking for a cdi unit and a a/c generator/stator/magneto/alternator, this bike is hard to find parts for as it was only made for a few years, and my specific one was only made for 1 year. i believe that the rebel shares some but i need to confim that

Hi everyone! Hope all is well. I recently purchased a 1979 Honda CM400A and it rode perfect on Thursday but wouldn't start on Saturday with nothing happening to the bike in between (it was under a tarp, dry, sunny conditions). A very nice user on Reddit (and here I'm guessing) by the name of...

Story time: When I purchased my 1971 CL450 it was missing all the lighting wiring and fixtures (except for the headlight). After some tinkering and my desire to re-install all the removed lighting, I found that someone didnt know what they were doing and had mixed up some wires so that it...

Hi all, My Dream CA77 has been riding rough recently and I'm trying to troubleshoot why, while being very inexperienced. I'm able to get my neutral light to come on, and even able to get the bike to start after some time, but my horn and electrical start aren't happening. The neutral light...

Hey guys, i was trying to do the regulator tectifier connection, but realized that my stator have different colors, if someone could help me to know which one i yellow, pink and white, it would be so helpful From now, thanks to the ones interested on helping.

I just got my bike restored by a shop and only got to ride it for about 2 hours total over the course of a week and went to take photos of it and used the headlight on some of the photos but was only like a 20 minute shoot. Afterwards, I had 0% electricals and accessories would t work, no...

Hey all! Happy belated Father’s Day, to dads young and ancient :) I got the Sparck Moto 12V Regulator Rectifier for my CB175 K6, and I’m having trouble connecting it. I’ve read some old threads that made the install process sound overly complicated. I’ve never done electric like this, so sorry...

Good evening all, I've had some issues with the headlight on my '82 CM450C occasionally going out. With this issue in the past, typically both the high beam and the headlight functions would both not work, but the indicator light for the HB would still illuminate on the display. I found various...

Hi. I am a newbie enthusiast! Purchased a 1975 Honda CB360T, and my tail light does not work. It will come on if you go to third position on key switch. In the op manual I have downloaded from online, it shows there should be a switch on the right hand handlebar for the tail light. My kill...
