Honda CB 400 (4 cil.): manuales de taller y revistas técnicas

In 1969 The Honda Motor Company launched a motorcycle that many consider to be the world's first super bike. The Honda CB750 had the first mass-produced 4 cylinder inline engine, a single overhead camshaft with 4 carburettors, a 4 into 4 exhaust system and came with electric start and front disc brakes as standard.
This specification set the bar higher than had been seen before on a production motorcycle and lead to the other Japanese motorcycle manufacturers introducing their own 4 cylinder motorcycles, albeit some time later.

Following the success for the original CB750 Honda went on to produce a range of motorcycles using SOHC 4 cylinder engines. All with their own characteristic s, they proved to be reliable and smooth running and even today can offer real reliable transport on modern roads if restored correctly.
Now with some examples over 40 years old many enthusiasts wish to restore these classic machines.

This guide has been written to guide the enthusiast through his or her restoration of these fine classic motorcycles. It covers dismantling the motorcycle and its components, restoring and sourcing parts, paint spraying, decals and polishing.
The chapters cover engine, frame, forks, fuel, exhaust, seat, brakes, tyres, electrics, up to the rebuild and on to safe setup and general maintenance and finally onto riding safely and storage.

Covers the period 1969-1982, and models CB350/4, CB400/4, CB500/4,CB550/4,CB650/4 and CB750/4.

This publication is a reproduction of the original Honda factory Workshop manual. The models covered in this manual are:
- the twin cylinder 1968 to 1973 five speed CB250 (K0-K5)
- CL250 (K0-K2)
- CB350 (K0-K4)
- CL350 (K0-K5)
- SL350 (K0-K2)
- the front disc brake CB250G and CB350G models.

Beginning in 1968 and extending through the 1975 model year, the 'K' suffix often, but not always, changed on an annual basis. 'K0' was used to indicate the first model in the series with updated versions identified as K1, K2, K3 etc.
While the 'K' number designations continued in use outside the USA through 1978, in September 1973, American Honda adopted a year identifier within the model number - for example a CT70'76 would be a 1976 model.

Therefore, while the use of the letter 'K' suffix has become accepted practice to identify the progression of a particular model by year of production it can, at times, be misleading. For example, Honda occasionally identifies the 1968 models in the CB250/350 series as the CB250 & CB350 without the use of the 'K0' suffix and sometimes 'bypasses' the use of K1 for the 1969 models and jumps to K2 for the 1970 models.
Setting this potential for confusion aside and reverting to what has become generally accepted usage of the 'K' suffix, we can state that this manual covers the five speed K0, K1, K2, K3, K4, K5 and disc brake models of the CB250 & CB350 and their variants from 1968 through 1973.

Finally, please note that the text in the original Honda Factory Workshop Manual was translated from Japanese into English. Consequently, some of the phrasing, grammar, punctuation and word usage may be subtly different from that commonly used in the English language. However, the information, as presented, is readily understandable.
