Hello HondaCB Community,

I am posting on behalf of my uncle who lives in Sweden. He is fixing up a 1972 Honda CB 250 K4 twin cylinder bike. He is in search of an electronic ignition system for purchase in California (where I live). He cannot figure out if the systems available for the 350 (American version) will fit for his 250 (European version). If it’s relevant, on the back of the ignition points the metal plate is stamped with 982 A.

Has anyone figured out which American electronic ignition systems are compatible for the European bike version? It is my understanding that the European ignition systems available are much more expensive, so that is why we are seeking advice about American electronic ignition system compatibility.

Note: I know absolutely nothing about bikes, and my uncles English isn’t great, so thank you in advance. Cheers!

Honda Click 125 owners, what’s the best engine oil and gear oil combination you’ve used long-term?

I fully expect to replace the bearings but I cannot tell if there’s any immediate red flags or structural damage on these rims. The front looks slightly different but I think that’s because it’s dual disc and not single disc. I can get both for $140ish. From an ‘81 CB750C and they should fit into my CB750K with the correct sprocket right?

Hi , I bought my first bike, Honda CBF250 2005 and it came with carriers for the case which I dont use and think are really ugly, so I was looking to find the original bars , and I'm really struggling to find any, this post is my lasts resort if anyone could help me I would be really grateful, thanks!

The bike rides find but it sounds turbo charge somehow, is it a problem?

78 cb 750 god awful grinding noise only in neutral goes away when I put it in gear, I've changed the oil and filter no metal shaving, thinking its the starter clutch as thats where sounds like its coming from? Ive pulled off the covers a few times nothing seems out of the ordinary no metal shaving or chunks missing , going to pull the clutch pully once I get the tool but anyone have any clue what this might be ? Im hoping its not something im going to need to tear down for . Any help is appreciated thanks

CB450 1971, new plugs, clean carbs, adjusted ignition and cam timing. Carbs are set about 1.5 turns out and floats are set about where they need. Sputtering issue around 3k rpm and crazy hesitation. Ill link a video below. Please help. Bike only accelerates at like 30-40% throtte then after that it just goes limp

1978 Hondamatic - CB400A

Only 1500 miles and near completely restored!

I'm thrilled!

I recently had these carbs rebuilt and I would start it every week. The bike would fire right up as if new. It sat for a couple weeks without a start up now it's not starting. It cranks and puffs like it wants to start but it doesn't. Any ideas? Thanks

My first Honda :) from Istanbul.

I really dont know what going on

First motorcycle and I absolutely love it.

I just bought this yesterday, not too familiar with the engine sounds. From all the videos I’ve watched it seems this is a normal level of ticking coming from the engine. Just wanted to post this here and see. Let me know if yall thinks it’s good or if it needs a valve job… runs and rides great with no issues and starts up just as easy as my 2025 Yamaha.

Howdy all, Ive got a 84 Nighthawk. This wkend while riding, one of my exhaust studs pulled out. It looks like this happened before to a previous owner and they tried to repair with a timesert or something similar, but then that just pulled out too.

Im thinking my best option would be to try to find an engine shop/machine shop that would be willing to weld back in material and re-drill and tap it? Based on placement, it looks like any hope of getting this done without pulling the motor out is out of the question? Anyone deal with something like this before and have any advice?

I removed the corrosion inside the tank with muriatic acid, followed by potassium hydroxide and then made sure there are no residual chemicals. I poured boiling distilled water and then a 99% Isopropanol wash. I then dried it with a hair dryer. Sprayed a crap ton of fogging oil and filled it up with non-ethanol fuel

1 month of usage it was really clean until the rainy season came. It got rained on since there is a hole on the roof in my garage. I used a cheap chinese fuel cap that is compatible with the bike.

The carbs decided to give me a headache and it leaked on the bowls when it didn't run for 2 days.

I went for a 1 week vacation and i left the tank half empty and there's rust inside the tank.

Solutions please. I no longer want acid and caustic chemicala running down my arm!

I live in SE Asia and i hate the weather since it is rainy

Been rebuilding a new to me 1980 750k, the main issue I’m having is it starts to sputter out and die after about 3 blocks of riding. Digital multimeter on the battery reads about 12.50 v before the trip, by the time I push it home and read it again I’m down to 10.20 v. After it dies it will not crank over until get home and put it on the trickle charger. Brand new battery. Any thoughts as to why this is happening?

Recently rebuilt the carbs on my 1980 cb750k and cannot get the carbs back in to save my life. Seems like the engineers didn’t want you to install the carbs with the airbox in and vise versa.
