Heard rumours that these parts should be replaced at 13,000 mls., since they are usually worn enough to create harm to the plant if it fails. My bike is nearing that mark, but has set for decades and going to do an inspection on the top end for safety sake. Thanks for the tips, and can only assume the final keepers are what people call rings at times. Appreciate the walk thru.
There was some definite scoring happening on the metal piece. I don’t think you can buy the one wheel without the metal piece. At least what I’ve seen.
Super helpful video. But just so you know it’s not that big of a deal if you drop those plastic bits into the engine I did it like 4 times. Just pick up the engine flip it upside down and give it a good shake. It only didn’t come out once doing that. That time I just used a magnet tool. No sweat
thank you very much for its excellent video, I would have a question for you, during my oil change I discovered that I had lost a small rubber which goes near the cam pulley, is it dangerous to operate even if it is missing 1
If you have any evidence of Tensioner issues you should change it before running it. It’s pretty important. You’ll just end up breaking more things if you don’t. Might as well dive in.
I just bought a cb350 parts bike and pulled the right side crank case to look at the clutch. I had one of those rubber parts fall out of the crank case. Can they come out if a bike is running and if so what would happen.? or do you think someone dropped one in the engine and left it there?
Your video saved me a bunch of times while doing a top end job on my CB350. And helped me recover from several dumb mistakes. Thanks!
Excellent to hear.
Thank you! Just in the knick of time :) doing my first ever cb350 rebuild, from a box of parts and without the luxury of disassembling it myself
You got this, Lon. I hope the vids help. Don’t forget to follow your manual too.

Yes. That sounds about right.
nice work. so interesting how the rubber hardens over the years.
I totally get why it’s recommended to replace! Expensive parts tho! Go figure. Lol
Brian Matson yeah wtf. very costly for a little part. was the metal housing bad or only the two wheels?

That’s so good to know. It gives me panic attacks. Lol.

Probably fell out during the rebuild. They are tricky buggers. You may want to check to make sure they are both still there.
What about the plastic slide pieces
I’ll get to that piece when the cylinder head goes in! Good eye!
Maybe put a piece of duct tape over those little rubber pieces for now??
That’s not a bad idea at all. Noted. Thanks, man.
