CB400T engine numbers
« on: October 31, 2006, 09:35:26 PM »
Anyone know of a link to this info? My bike is a 1978, with a later non-kicker engine in it. I'd love to know what year the engine was made, in case it ever needs parts. I have the Clymer manual for it, but it lists nothing about engine numbers.

If you can find a friendly dealer the microfiche should give start and end numbers for a production year.
I'll see if I can find out.

I'll probably swing by the local dealer tomorrow to check. Thanks for the tip.
