Re: Troubleshooting starting issue 1982 CB650
Good to hear that you solved the issue. :) Anyway at least for a cold engine it should at least crank weakly with reasonable starter cables, too. So I suspect that something is wrong with your cables. Before you consider to cut them you could try again and check if something at these cables gets war...

Re: Troubleshooting starting issue 1982 CB650
Welcome here! :D, I do not get sound on the video so I do not know what it really does. So lets try something different: The starter should crank the engine when you bridge the two starter relay connectors by a thick cable. Does it? If it cranks that way -and as it seems to click- the contacts insid...

Re: '82 cb650sc project
Thanks!
I will try a bit with alumina plates from scrap and see what happens.

Really impressing result!
I am curious how you made that. Some details on the tools you used would be interesting, too.

Re: Need Gearing Advice
Now I am a little bit confused because I would think that the RC03 frame with its straight rear tubes beneath the seat would have been the easier start to get where you are now. Actually this seems to me the most obvious difference between the RC03 and RC05 frames. :roll: Anyway you solved that alre...

Re: Need Gearing Advice
Listed where?
The 1979 has the RC03 frame while the 1980+1981 US models have the RC05 frame. I think RC03 vs. RC05 swing arms are different. So this might be an issue of chain length.

Re: Introduction
Welcome here, Brian! :D As you may have found out meanwhile there is not much activity on this forum any more. Anyway I think it still is a great source of information for everybody new to the CB650 SOHC bikes and I guess there are still many people reading here. Good to have a confirmation from tim...

Re: Engine noise! Need help!
Heat should help to pull out the bearings. E.g. remove everything of plastic and rubber and put the clutch cover into a oven. I doubt that Honda ever sold these bearings separately so there is probably no part number that could help. Means you need to get new bearings by their dimensions or slaughte...

Re: CDI pigtails
Welcome here!
The CB650 SOHC did have two "spark units" (one for cylinders 1+4 and another for the 2+3 ignition circuit) with cables and a plug.
Yours reads like something different.
So which bike exactly?

Re: 1st bike
Welcome here! :D first issue to check is if there is enough oil in the engine. I would change the oil with filter soon in any case. Engine should be warm for that. Then look what came out with the oil. Age of tires might be an issue. They get hard with time and slippery especially at cold and wet ro...

Re: fuel lines on 1979 CB650 with 1981 Carbs
Welcome here! :D So I guess you have a 79 with the 1981 CV carbs? In this case you will find several helpful pictures at: http://www.hondacb650.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4036, http://www.hondacb650.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4162 At http://www.hondacb650.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5056 you find ...

Re: 1981 CB659 Petcock
Welcome here! :D Not sure about the filter, I think it is just plugged in to the petcock or fixed by a rim at the bung opening. It might not come out with the petcock in the latter case. Note that the tank petcock thread is different for different years/models, see e.g. post #7 at: http://www.hondac...

Re: What is this carburetor part called and where can i get it?
This is the floater needle seat. It might become leaky when clogged or damaged.
I recently wrote a bit about this issue here.
Not sure where to get these parts for the CB650 piston carbs however.
