    Anyone knows where i can get a rectifier and coil for spec 3 and roughly how much? Recently got problems with my spec 3 [earlier post on ticking sound}, went to 2 workshops, mech bullshit here and there, change my rectifier to the small one which was used in VER S, told by another mech my rectifier for spec 3 is the bigger type. Anyways recently overhaul the whole engine, new block and pistons [ticking sound was from pistons rubbing against block] top service done. @ramsnake, thanks for the advise on getting to a reputable mech. So now left with issues of charging... recharged my battery and found that voltage around 13.8V even after revving and on high speed around 12.5V [ voltage while idling is measured using a proper voltmeter not the display one we usually use on our bikes].. I guess, I need to change my rectifier to optimise my charging, the mech I went to quoted me $165 original Spec 3 Rectifier[big Type] Anyone with any advise? Thanks

    Hi there, No compression test done as confirmed with the mech... how is a compression test done? magnet coil will be checked this saturday with a regular mech i go to.. yes after changing rectifier sometimes voltage drops when stop at traffic light or bike is tilted towards the right... thanks...

    At Bro Ramsnake, soory for the late reply jus got back my bike 2 days ago, this what happened: Brought i to a mech, serviced my carbs, changed my rectifier and serviced engine (engine flush, EO, Oil Filter, Iridium Spark plugs, oil filter), the mech mentioned that could be my loose timing chain or tensioner causing the sound. During this period the mech noticed that my airbox had oil and spark plugs were oily and he suspected that the valves were leaking. He was not able to do any repairs as his recommended bike shop did not have the time. Brought to another mech, said he would "check" the engine and let me know the problem, he changed the timing chain and tensioner but sound still around. Did some valve adjustments and 7 Shims replaced. Still sound present after 7 days of being left at bike shop. At this point I was really frustrated and jus paid the mech for unncessary replacements which were not required and which did not address the main problem. I enquired at another mech (this is already the third) he mentioned that it my be my piston and there might be something stuck inside or cylinder head. So at the end of the day problem still persists (voltage dropping when throttle... then got chugging like response the suddenly RPM jumps to 4-5) , ticking sound still remains, i dunno which motor tiam to bring to. Please advise as I am still riding the bike in the present condition.... also if possible please P.M. me of any good bike shops have relevant experience with CB 400 Spec 3

    Hi Bro, i removed my engine breather reason being my engine oil started to evaporate according to my mech. and on rainy days water might get into the tubings and eventually dmg the engine.

    Hey bros, i am riding a spec 3, on sunday i was riding to work along AYE and was tailgated by a car and increased my speed to about 140km/hr. Tried to open throttle abit more but the bike jus wouldn't respond and stayed at 140km/hr. changed lanes and slowed down and exit at buona vista road. stopped at traffic light then voltage dropped to about 10-11v on voltmeter (using analog meter). While moving off bike did not respond immediately to throttle, like choking then slowly move off, while entering carpark drop to gear 1and when open throttle again bike stall. Turn off Bike and started again, did not start. Start again with slight throttlling, bike started, then voltage maintain at 10v. When to mech that afternoon, change rectifier (old one melted), no problem starting voltage 13++, no battery problems, move off but when reach traffic light bike voltage decrease and RPM below 1, mech already adjusted to 1.2 RPM. one more thing i notice a continuos ticking sound when engine start and when on the go ticking sound like follow engine momentum. Tik..Tik..Tik..Tik. Could it be coil problem? Spark plug?Cam chain? Also when slow down.. and open throttle again bike feels like a fat cow trying to run... Also where can i buy stock spark plug cables? mine the previous owner change to NGK racing cable... Ur views and opininons are much appreciated Thanks for the help...
