Hello. I am new to this site and would like to introduce myself. My first road bike was a 76 CB400f. I found a 74 CB350f for my son as a beginner bike for small money. Tires, carbs, new gaskets, valve job later and it is not so small money anymore. I really didn't know the following of these bikes when I bought it, I have spent more than I probably should have, but I am hooked. My son has moved on and I have slowly been restoring/improving.
My question to all you experts out there is: I cannot get the cam chain to adjust automatically. I have followed the instructions, set the throttle to 1200 and loosened both nuts but it is not adjusting and remains quite noisy. Any suggestions? Thanks!!

i was reading an article yesterday, about the cb400f, now i cant imagine that the engines are any different than the 350f' (apart from the obvious 50cc difference) basicly it was saying that these 30 year old bikes will now have worn springs, quite acceptable since the age and imence heat forced upon it. it does mention a way of adjusting it, i wouldnt like to try and remember the details and get it wrong, however if i can find a way of uploading information, or if you let me have your email address, i can forward it on to you.
