The bolts here, it may not be the stator housing I'm not certain. Also the starter was left out and the hole it goes in was not plugged or covered, and I went to put the starter back in and there was some dirt on the gear and I did not think about it enough. So assuming there's some dirt in it.
Nevermind about cranking it, seems like a bad idea without the bolts.
Makes sense about oil change. Will 15w40 cause issues? I thought it was supposed to be 10w30. Just want to double check. Thanks!
It’ll cause exactly zero issues, particularly this time of year. When it starts getting this hot, I switch to 20w50 - the 10w40 and 10w30 is based on rational person operating temps, not the TX/OK summer heat.
Lool no kidding about temperature
thanks, is it important for the oil filter to be oem, or will something like a k&n filter work? do you have a recomendation?
I’ve used Hi-Flo aftermarket filters without issue, I’d imagine K&N would be no different. If your local Honda dealer has it in stock, OEM might actually be cheaper than paying shipping. I’d check on the off chance they do. Regardless of which one you use, make sure to swap the orings out as well.
Thanks!
Do you have the FSM for your bike?
Not certain, couldn't find it on the list. I found a service manual not positive it's correct.
I have the CB900C and F Honda FSM, happy to share with you. PM sent
Pictures might help someone recognize it.
Photos would help, but if it’s the lighter green color with insulation that used to be reddish that’s the oil pressure switch. Other one is likely the neutral switch.
I will definitely be a while sorting wires . I tried posting the photo but it said it was to big of a file. The wire from the oil pressure switch wire is broken as well, looks black. Reaches a black wire that is one I was describing, thanks. Then there is a green one. Not sure there. It just seems unplugged.
best pic I could geti'm a bit worried about the timing as well. do have a multimeter. pilot box is completely gone, found that out when trying to find neutral indicator light. engine wont turn with starter button.
Neutral safety interlock. The solenoid switch won’t close without the bike in neutral. You can bypass this temporarily by jumping the green/red from the solenoid to ground.
The same green red the goes to the neutral indicator light? if yes, you may have just helped me figure out my wiring diagram some! i'm not good at reading them.
Both Sparck Moto and Vintage Connections are high quality suppliers owned by member @Sonreir, which is why they are one of our sponsors. And so you know, we only do link exchanges with sponsors - we don't take advertising money from anyone. We offer them space here in exchange for a link to VHT on their website.
Thanks! I will be happy to use them when the need comes up.
Yeah - those little solder/shrink connectors are way easier, more secure and take up far less room in a wiring harness. I use a heat gun on them, but a small butane torch works as well. Whatever you do, avoid the blue/red BS plastic/tin crap from the box stores on any connector.
Time to hide my harbor freight crimp connectors.. lol. I will be buying those solder connectors. I am interested to try them. Thanks!
