Honda 500 4 newbie
« on: September 30, 2014, 05:53:24 AM »
Hi there

Just bought a 1972 Honda  500 4 which originated in the USA. All in good original condition but oil leaking from the engine. Hopefully I will get it running oil leak free soon.

If it sounds like I know what I'm talking about, it's because I cut and pasted from someone else.

Jon,

Welcome from Northampton, UK! Your bike looks very like mine.

Good luck with the leak,
