My 81 CB650....First Bike!

Postby Hawk213 » Sun Oct 20, 2013 12:37 pm

Hey all, This is my 81 cb650. I am new to forum here. I picked the bike up lil over a month ago. I took it in my back yard and slipped on the wet grass like an idiot and it fell on its right side...The cover on the ignition advance unit popped off (as it was only sealed with glue like sealant) It broke a part inside...I don't know much about motorcycles being this is my first, but I'm learning as I go. I ordered the new part off of eBay but it's for a 1980? not sure if that makes a difference?? I do have the service manual and it doesn't say..so.. Furthermore, it does have a leak in the head(s)?? I was told it could be just a hair line crack, but it's fixable....any tips? :mrgreen:

Pic might be too big. The ignition part will be the same. Are the crews striped for the cover?
Did you clean the tank out?!?!?!?!

Yea still won't let me post pic...like a bug or something. And I'm not sure. The cover was just sealed on.

Welcome here! :D

The head oil leak is quite typical, nothing to worry. Usually the O-rings at the head gasket level that seal the oil gallery for the camshaft are leaky.

Well I'm doing this from mobile... At bottom I select attach file choose photo and submit...it than says "internal service error" so the site itself closes...or if I choose add file after selecting file it brings me to another page that says uploading file, but doesn't do anything? Just stays on page...if I close the page and try to go back to the main site it again says internal service error....I've tried to do this on desktop and still the same? What am I doing wrong here???? It'll let me post text reply like I'm doing now, but no attachments.

I use Photobucket for all my picture posting. It's free and takes just a minute to set up to start. Then you can post pics with just a couple of clicks.
