What they told my dad was there was a dead cell or something. I never had a problem with the battery, it was the bike. My dad may have one of those load testers I will have to ask and keep it in mind, thanks

Does your old battery need a good home? What are the dimensions?

Jim · 05-15-2012, 01:40 AM

I think my dad is either going to put it in a honda jazz (they bought scooters), or the honda cj360t. Sorry. :wink:

Weldangrind · 05-15-2012, 01:26 PM

No problem. I was going to offer you a few bucks if you had no use for it.

Jim · 05-16-2012, 11:41 PM

If that was the case I would gladly have passed it along, but around there, there is more than enough uses for it

I was just looking through this thread to see the progress, and wow, 2 wires mixed up stalled me for a year :roll: Now I'll know what to look for next time

Any updates on the cj360t?

Jim · 05-17-2012, 08:19 AM

Not yet, I wanted to get the cl350 done first

Found another cool site for my bike today http://benmiranda.com/my-honda-cb350/

Changed the bulbs in the dash, tightened the chain, and changed the oil.

I was going to remove the oil filter cup to clean it when I changed the oil, but I don't think it's possible to remove it without taking the right case off the motor. I took the oil filter cover off and cleaned the cup out the best I could with it on the bike. The screen on the oil pump, I believe I have to remove the clutch and oil pump together just to get to the screen.

I'm planning on changing the oil again before too long, it's got a lot of years to clean out.

I also need to loosen my chain a bit, I over tightened it slightly.

Rode it a bit, another trouble free day, I think I've got things worked out
