My 1st cage was a '62 GMC stepside....the factory color was a fugly shade of "Salmon Pink"....complete w/ black & grey primer spots all over it...no wonder my Dad was so disapponted when I brought it home. What I'd give to still have that old Beast....they don't build trucks like that anymore.3 points

Iam OK with mechanical things, but electrics, no. With mechanical stuff you can see what's broke/snapped/worn out, but most electrical components unless they are burnt out look fine, that where a meter and Fred's knowledge comes into it own. I do appreciate the help. Yeh, I miss his When things got technical3 points

Nice one Saul. Not to put a downer on your achievement but i'm not a fan of manual cam chain adjusters as they can hide a worn out cam chain by being able to adjust past the auto cam chain tensioners range. I've seen a lot of people fit them in the past because they think the auto tensioner is faulty but was just at the end of its range and they needed a new cam chain but that's only my experience with Honda's Air cooled singles.3 points

Funnily enough I have been out playing with my CBF. It came with a manual cam chain tensioner, never worried about it but I noticed a rattle when riding the other day nothing drastic but audible. So hit up Youtube for a how to on adjustment. Watched loads, all pretty straight forward, so went out and did it this afternoon, motor is sounding as sweet as a nut again, it's the little things that make you smile. I now have a datum for the next time it needs adjustment which hopefully isn't to often. I have no idea when it was last done, probably years ago, given it's last documented service was 2019.3 points

I have given that some thought Fred. The Honda tensioner for this generation of 600/4 is known to be weak, in fact there is a revised official Honda one released now, only about ÂŁ80, maybe a future option. I suppose the previous owner went with a manual one to save money as for all intents and purposes it is only a bolt and locknut. I'm not going to sweat over it while it's running so well, done 2k miles since I bought it and I am thinking hard to find fault. Clutch is a bit noisy, but apparently they all are. Doing high 50's mpg and goes very well keeping up with my friends much newer bikes. After all it's a ÂŁ1100 winter hack, I'm enjoying it. I will worry when there is something to worry about.2 points
