honda cb1/nc27

[karidian]

Hi all, looking for a bit of advice. Got my first bike - a honda 400 cb1 which i believe is also called an nc27. first off im looking to confirm i got that right and second i was told when i bought the bike that there was a problem with the radiator fan. Ive been looking around on the net and can get a fan for an nc29 and was wondering if it would fit. Ive been told a lot of the honda parts are interchangable between different models but im not sure. any help appreciated ta

Hi there, good first bike you got there.

The CB-1 is an NC27.

With regards to the radiator fan, have you been told what's wrong with it?

The previous owner of my bike mentioned there was a fault with the cooling fan, turned out to be the fuse. IIRC the fuse is the centre one in the fuse box (which is under the right hand metal panel, below the seat).

If the fuse checks out OK, disconnect the wire on the left hand side of the radiator and ground it against the engine/frame etc.. this will confirm whether it's the fan or the switch.
