Oh no it smokes plenty 😂 just deceiving at idle in this video. Glad you dig it!

@@GoldenBoyGarage I had a Yamaha RD 350 back in da days.. I would rather see the rear tire go up in smoke!

Definitely got lucky finding this thing. Thankfully the tach doesnt fade and peel as bad as the cb350fs seem to!

It sounds like an angry dyson vacuum cleaner 😆

bmw’s can sound good. They need low frequency to dominate

Not nice for the wallet, the demos have had a devastating impact 🤣

@ the only think that scares me on mine is the Carbon wheels. Ding up one of those in your out $3k and have to wait on one.

Thank you for watching Mr KDX master, I appreciate the feedback

I hope to keep this one around for a long time, such a lovely bike. I do appreciate your watching. I think I have 8 bikes now haha.

I appreciate it, and i appreciate being considered methodical as my brain seems like its scrambled and im barely holding it together 🤣

@GoldenBoyGarage ha ha ..well you mask it brilliantly 👌

The brakes seemed to improve a bit after bedding in, but its always jarring how bad they are after being on a modern bike! Webike has a brembo 2 pot conversion but its not cheap. Paint is correct on the bike, the models are all slightly different depending on the market, Ive seen the F2 tanks without the lid elsewehre too! The US bikes have the weird swingarm pillion mounts, and more upright seating for people who dont like the sporty seating. Appreciate you watching and sharing

dziękuję i mam nadzieję, że masz się dobrze

@@GoldenBoyGarage yeah but i have some issues in my part time job so i dont have time to check my garage ;D

I wish I could have a yellow one, or just a yellow bike in general!

@@GoldenBoyGarage Yeah yellow bikes are super cool, my one is imported from the UK and I think that version is one of the best color and decal schemes.

Unbelievably fast and well configured for a little 50, I love that they omitted the 50 bit in the livery

Yep....and still big enough for a full sized adult​@@GoldenBoyGarage

​@@GoldenBoyGaragein some markets these had a disc brake up front

I had removed the baffle yesterday to repack, and everyone assumed I was riding a large sport bike at meet-up 😆Thank you for watching!

The replacement fender is one for one replacement of OEM, I know there were some variations depending on US / EU / JP markets and years. If Im misunderstanding your question let me know Ill try to answer best i can

@GoldenBoyGarage okay, the variations are most likely what I'm unaware of and nosir,I wasn't questioning you! I really don't know !

She rips super good, it's my favorite bike for sure. I really appreciate the opportunity to rip on something cool and know the history behind it!

@@LondonPianoman reviewing the service manual the marks are opposite the bolt heads, timing marks are shown facing the point side, which also makes logical sense. I put it on the way it came off, there is notable seasoning on the sprocket from baked oil.

was rolled into, and the wheel did come up a bit toward the end, tried to keep it modest so as to not get yelled at again by the BMW ride leader people. Do wish I could have had some unsupervised time with it. I will say I test rode the XR as well, in dynamic mode and tried to goose it and it would not come up at all?? I didn't mess with the settings beyond dynamic mode, but I would have thought for sure it would have to.

have sent you an email sir

Just making sure I didn't fall asleep 😂

Really appreciate it, I have a bunch of footage for full DT50 rebuild and other 400F, been busy riding thru the hurricane, but I promise more great stuff to come!

My partner would probably throw a fit if I sold this bike, would have to be 7k to consider parting. I will say there are some a bit cheaper I have seen recently on FB Marketplace needing a bit of love around 3500. The CB400F groups on there have a great owner-base and will help point them out

It's become one of my favorite bikes, I pretty much always grab it over the other 7 in the garage, you can still find them cheap ish!

I've recently picked myself up an H1 500. There's a few shorts of it up. The H2 are super pricy now unfortunately. The kawi triples are something else! Thank you for watching

Its always the pesky previous owners, hopefully you get it up and running shortly, the community for the 350 and 400 seems to be strong and helpful! Appreciate you sharing!

@@GoldenBoyGarage thanks mate, It’s running!! ✊ I love the little critter.. . Still dialing it in for the first ride. No electrical gremlins left…me thinks. RIDE ON

You're welcome to reach out if you need additional help. I have a discord or if you join one of the 350/400 facebook groups folks generally try to help. The idea though is to get the throttle opened most all of the way, hold it open with the wire so your hands dont get tired, then screwing/unscrewing the link adjusters will get them all sticking down the same amount, when you close it, they should be very close. There's a few different ways to do it, but this ensures you get full throttle motion

Its the fluid film protecting the paint haha

Since I made this first video, I ended up completely rebuilding the engine, it had no coolant in it, crank seals were gone, bolts broke off, its been a nightmare haha. While somehow not rusty at all, everything on this bike ended up being a total nightmare, I just have to put the videos together, oil pump seemed to be fine. That gas tank was a nightmare, I have a short up showing some of how that went down, but sounds like youve battled a few crusty old two strokes in your day! Ill check out your channel

I forgot to screw the sump plug back in, we were checking the oil regularly as it was already leaking pretty bad! over 1000kms after a full day of work!

@@GoldenBoyGarage Oh jeeez man thats a tough finish to a long hard day ...Damn .

@@ALIGwedew62 the kawi triples are piston ported. Used to be Reed conversions, but hard to come by unless you want to do custom work!

I am pretty tall and the bike is pretty small so I am inclined to leave it be, I also dont care for pushing the control wires thru the bars enough. That can be the job of the next owner, though I certainly understand the appeal of the lower bars and rear-set pegs. Honda should have known better than to think this would convince Americans to buy a small bike haha.

@@theaustralianconundrum Hey man, I spend a lot of my time and money making these with the goal of sharing and helping other folks. Its always nice to hear that people appreciate it instead of throwing out rude and unhelpful comments!

@@theaustralianconundrum You mind telling me which music? There are many tracks in each video.

It microphone is mounted to the underside of the rear fender for this video, so the drive chain gets picked up

It's called Blue Magic metal polish, it's at most auto part stores in the USA. Strong ammonia smell

I havent seen anything that looks real? Ive seen some clickbait stuff on youtube and speculation. The 'renders' ive seen dont seem like they would pass muster for a real bike. That said Im all four it (pun intended), Id figure the US wont get one, but then again we got a 400 4 from kawasaki recently

The rear fender that has been cut is getting replaced in the next video. Most of the parts I grabbed were from webike japan and cmsnl. If you order from webike just have a list going so you combine shipping costs. I will add some links to the description in the next hour

If you have any specific questions let me know btw

Interesting to know, i want to put a digital tachometer on now and see where it lands!

Since replacing the float needles with Keyster replacements they have not leaked at all. Sometimes the brass pipes that are coming from the float bowls will crack and leak, I would check those. If they are cracked you can solder them and itll stick just like if you were putting wires together.

I dont guess they are cracked because with a big floating height they doesnt lose nothing , its all completly dry and bike start but if i use full throttle instantly the engine turn off like it doesn t have fuel but if i use thrlottle gradually it goes perfectly and go on high rpm…do you think that the second jet doesnt get fuel properly for instant throttle or i need to change max jets? I haven t the original air filter , it have the aftermarket filters and max jets are 75

@@loks2569 the fuel leaking would be a separate issue from the jetting, but something is definitely off for fuel/air ratio if it dies when you open the throttle. Try revving with the choke partly on. If it works better than the bike is probably lean off idle. I would think if you have pod filters you will definitely need to up your jets. My bike is pretty lean with stock jetting and it was made a bit worse with my new muffler.

I tried! With choke lightly on,it works but idle go up…i tried to cover the filters to simulate less air but the bike do other problems like go at 3 cilinders or rev up slowly…i dont know how to fix this problem…maybe I need to create an airbox or change 75 jets with 85s instead or change float height like yours but i will lose fuel at vents…i m really confused…can I ask you what does the secondary jets do? What do you suggest?thanks for help!❤

I acquired this bike right after my father had passed and making these videos helped keep me busy. He used to tell me stories about his old Kawi H1 500, so naturally I bought one on fathers day this year! I will have another video hopefully this week for the bike doing some finishing touches. 79k Indicates a lot of love for that bike! I have been averaging about 200 miles a week on my 400, its a lovely bike and worth the work. The facebook groups are also great for help, lots of nice folks. Really appreciate your watching
