Hi all smile

I have just bought a bike, a Honda CB400 Superdream. It has been completely stripped, rebuilt and almost every part replaced, and also has covered a genuine 21'000 since 83 when first registered. The chap that has done this does one every 6 months and has for years, his work is expert so full faith in bike etc

However, I am finding sometimes if I pull the throttle back sharply the revs race slightly higher than the engine speed and the bike doesn't respond in accordance with the revs. Apparently it may just be a simple question of adjusting the clutch mechanism? (No idea why, someone just mentioned it).

It only happnes on sharp application of throttle. I have done the fornt brake on dip clutch test and the bike responds normally, so guess the clutch is fine. Also the seller said clutch is fine so am wondering what might be the cause?

Thanks Phil... Its a CB 400 N Superdream... CBR - must have mis typed or something.

I think the clutch cable just needs adjusting, but it is a question of getting a manual to find out how to do it. Ebay here I come...
