Hi all! I'm new here, I'm currently living in Venezuela and I bought a month ago a NC31 CB400SF, loving the bike (Previously had a XT225) and it has been virtually troublefree, except that in the last couple weeks, I have noticed that the shifter gets very loose and that I had to tighten again the bolt that holds it into place.
But now, no matter how hard I tighten the bolt, it become loose after some miles of riding...no more than 10 minutes and some shifts, and it's already dangling loose...making the shifts all floppy.
What could I do to keep the shifter firmly into place and to avoid having to tighten the bolt everytime before riding? Thanks! 
Here's some pics to help illustrate what I'm saying:

You are missing the correct bolt. The original probably fell out and has been replaced with a simple bolt by the looks of it. Also the original would have been held in place with a bit of thread lock. You could try to get a replacement or get a new bolt made quite simply.
You should be able to get the parts from a Honda dealer but at a price. The part numbers are
90115-KAF-000
24706-MK3-770 (these are a couple of rubber washers i think, you need two of these)
90514-921-000
I'll try to email you the pdf with the parts list so you can see what you need |
Good times! |

Awesome mate! Thanks very much...I'll try to find something similar, because this bike is not very common in here and finding parts is not easy. Would you happen to know which other Honda bikes carry a compatible bolt?
My email is thedominator2k@hotmail.com thanks! |

If you have the part number, the dealer can get it even if he has to wait for it to arrive from Japan. You could probably carry on with the bodged solution if you threadlock the bolt in at the right position to allow the lever to move. Bit risky though, it'd probably eventually work free. I would also want some sort of bushing, not steel, in there too.
Easiest to just do it right with the part numbers. |

| Does the bolt that you have stick out he back of the lever carrier? if so drop a lock nut on the back and it should be fine, if not and you can't get a proper bolt it might be worth sourcing a bolt slightly longer than the one you have and locknuting it. |

| Good suggestion. Lockwiring it to something would also work. |
