My '84 CB650SC with 30K miles, (I got it at 22 K - $650!) and having been laid down perhaps several times by previous owner(s), has the disconcerting habit of "raising up" on the rear shocks as I dismount. That of course causes it to lean more as it raises, and it feels like it will tip over. Of course it won't, really, but it feels strange. I am assuming the rear shock(s) need attention, but because of the coil springs, nothing can be observed. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, what was the cure? Thoughts, Dennis? anyone?
Also, there is a "whine" somewhere - transmission? final drive? - most pronounced when decelerating. Any ideas here? Running Amzoil 90 in final drive, Mobil 1 synthetic in engine. I have done the carbs (plugged low speed fuel passages) new battery, new front tire, front fork leaking on one side (winter repair job). It is a "late in life (I'm 72) addition, and I love to ride it. I am constantly amazed at the good condition of 25 year old parts - especially rubber and plastic - that are still good! Honda, you did one hell of a job in designing and building! It'll outrun a $18,000 Hardly 1200+cc and a BMW ($10,000) 1300+cc. Until I chicken out (make that old injuries triumph over testosterone).
