Vehicle Information
Honda CM400 Motorcycle - Street (1979-1981)
The Honda CM400, produced from 1979 to 1981, was a street bike known for its approachable nature and classic styling, serving as a precursor to the Honda Rebel series. It featured an air-cooled, OHC parallel-twin engine with a 395 cc displacement and three valves per cylinder (two intake, one exhaust), equipped with electronic ignition. Horsepower varied slightly, ranging from approximately 39 to 43 hp depending on the year and trim. During this period, Honda offered several trims: the CM400A (Hondamatic) with a 2-speed semi-automatic transmission, the CM400T (Touring) typically with a 5-speed manual transmission, the CM400E (Economy) often featuring wire wheels and drum brakes, and the CM400C (Custom), a rarer variant produced only in 1981. The core 395cc parallel-twin engine design remained consistent from 1979 to 1981, with no significant mid-cycle generation or fundamental architectural changes. Differences primarily involved transmission type, wheel types, and braking systems. FAQ:

Maintenance
| Component | Interval | Details |
| Engine Oil & Oil Filter | Every 1,600 to 3,200 km or 6 months | Change engine oil and replace oil filter. For Hondamatic models, frequent changes are crucial as oil is shared with the transmission. Check oil level weekly, especially for Hondamatics. |
| Belt | Not applicable | These models use a drive chain for final transmission and an internal cam chain, not a belt. |
| Spark Plug | Annually or every 16,000 to 32 000 km | Replace spark plugs. Recommended type is often NGK D8EA. |
| Air Filter | Inspect and clean/replace as needed | Inspect and clean or replace the air cleaner element. Clean every 8,000 km or more frequently (e.g., every 500 km in dusty conditions). Replace every 16,000 to 24,000 km. |
| Coolant | Not applicable | These models are air-cooled and do not use liquid coolant. |
| Cam Chain Adjustment | Periodically | The tensioner is automatic. Start the engine, let it idle, loosen the 10mm nut on the cylinder, allow the tensioner to set, then retighten the nut. Valve clearances should be checked at the same interval as oil changes. |
| Drive Chain | Inspect and adjust regularly | Lubricate frequently (e.g., every fuel-up). Check slack (approximately 20 mm). Inspect sprockets and replace chain and sprockets together if worn. |
| Brake Fluid | Annually | Change brake fluid. |
| General Inspections | Before each ride and before each maintenance period | Perform a pre-ride inspection before each ride. More frequent service may be required in harsh conditions (dust, rain, full throttle). |
Maintenance intervals may vary slightly by model year and region. It is recommended to consult the official owner's manual for precise information.
