Ok, the clutch plates are new. The lifter rod is supposed to have one rounded end and one flat end, Yes? With the round end fitting into the clutch lifter joint. The springs were within tolerances. I got a cable off ebay that might be a little long. And I truly believe someone tried to rebuild the ...

Thanks for the quick response. Now for the sake of discussion lets say the clutch adjuster had been cleaned and repacked with new grease and the problem still existed. Step 2?

Clutch adjustment

I haven't seen this particular question about the clutches on these things so here it goes. When I torque the 4 bolts on the clutch lifter plate to specs, I cannot squeeze the clutch lever. I then redo the clutch adjustment to the point of being able to squeeze the clutch lever. With me so far? When ...

cylinder head /breather gaskets

Does anyone have photos of the cylinder head/breather cover gaskets and the order that they are installed? I think I have them but one seems to be a metal plate with a few holes. Thank you very much.

Thanks much RobG. My cam sprocket mark is at 12:00 but the crankshaft mark is at 6:00, as far apart as possible. I'll change the position when I get time. I understand that 180 out just changes cylinders firing but something is not quite right with my motor. Kinda like my brain most days. Later and ...

Ok, I took the cam sprocket off and made sure it was bolted in properly. I made sure the cam sprocket timing mark was at the top of the sprocket and the timing mark on the crankshaft sprocket was at the bottom of that sprocket. In other words the marks are as far away from each other as they can be ...

Ok, here,s a couple shots of what I was talking about last night.The first one shows cam sprocket mark on the top while the rotor mark is lined up with the "T". The second shot shows the alignment of the timing sprockets. I used a silver Sharpie to highlight the sprocket marks. Thanks to everyone ...

The photo shows the cam sprocket timing mark on the top. At the same point the "T" on the crank is lined up with the timing mark on the rotor and both pistons are at tdc or very close. I can adjust both intake valves to specs but when I rotate the crank 180 degrees, I cannot adjust the exhaust ...

In a related timing question...is it possible to bolt the cam sprocket to the wrong holes? There's supposed to be a difference in the spacing of the 3 bolt holes but I can't see it in my motor. But I can't seem to get the valve clearance right and I'm starting to get suspicious about my rebuilding ...

I found the parts manual here http://downloads.hondatech.info/Moto/CA/CA95_Parts_Manual.pdf Page 43 is the wiring diagram. It's a good source of information but it's not the shop manual. I'm looking for what position 1 turns on, what position 2 is for and position 3 and 4 are for. I don't think I ...

ignition switch questions?

I've hit the wall with this one. It's a early 60's ca95 barn find. I had to replace the ignition switch and part of the wiring harness. Now when I hook up the battery, the brake light comes on...unless I turn the key to the 3rd position then it goes off. But I can't remove the key when it's in that ...
