Parting Out: 1982 Honda CB650 [Blue]
Posted: Tue Jun 25, 2013 3:16 pm
I bought this bike two weeks ago, knowing that it had issues. I knew that it was a possibility that I could resort to parting it out, but it was my true hope to repair it and put it back on the road. Knowing that I should probably skip over the investment in time to get it back on the road and get right to chopping it up, I just couldn't bring myself to do that. But I looked at it and I said to myself, "Damn... that's just too nice of a bike to break down into parts!". I just couldn't do it. So I recently spent some time with it. I replaced the solenoid and I replaced the starter, and what I found by doing that [in addition to the starter legitimately being bad] is that the starter clutch is bad. That's bad. I know how to arthoscopically replace one, and I know [IMHO] that it's not easy. I had it running briefly when it momentarily engaged. I also discovered that it leaks oil pretty bad. Replacing the starter clutch is a lot of effort for a bike that may have a variety of other issues. It's a runner, but unless you're ambitious enough to bump start it everywhere you go [or to take the time to replace the starter clutch], I think it would best serve as a donor bike to keep other ones like it on the road. I'm just not that ambitious.

Damn. Look how nice this bike is.
FAQ's:
- CAM has sold.
- Odometer is showing 13,486 miles but I believe it has closer to 26k miles on it.
I will be breaking this bike down over the coming days, photographing individual pieces, and selling everything. Let me know what you need. I will be updating this thread with a list of parts that have sold. It is fairly common for me to ship parts out the following day after receiving a PayPal payment, but sometimes it takes me two or three.
I will answer PM's, but if you have an interest or questions about specific parts, it's usually best (and quicker) if you email me directly at witttom@yahoo.com (three T's in w-i-t-t-t-o-m).
If you do not see the part that you need, check with me. I'm parting out several other CB650's and may have what you're looking for.
