1978 Honda CB400A Cam Chain & Tensioner

The 1978 Honda CB400A cam-drive choices include a silent cam chain and a separate tensioner. Match these internal engine parts to the identified CB400A engine before ordering. Plan the work around inspection findings rather than assuming both parts always need replacement.

1978 Honda CB400A · Cam Chain & Tensioner Buying guide

Choose the cam-drive parts after inspection

The listed chain is 412H with 110 links; the tensioner replaces reference 14500-413-000. These are engine timing components, so have their condition and the required access assessed before building the repair order.

Honda CB400 / CB450 Silent Cam Chain A 412H x 110 Silent cam chainJapanese-made 412H cam chain with 110 links, listed for the 1978 CB400A.View part Honda CB400 Cam Chain Tensioner ~ Replaces 14500-413-000 Cam-chain tensionerReplacement tensioner for the 1978 CB400A, reference 14500-413-000.View part

Keep the chain specification intact

The Japanese-made chain is described as a 412H silent cam chain with 110 links. Keep both the chain type and link count together when comparing alternatives. These specifications concern the internal cam drive, not the motorcycle’s rear-wheel drive chain.

Assess the tensioner alongside the chain

The replacement tensioner is listed for the 1978 CB400A and reference 14500-413-000. Check its condition as part of the cam-drive assessment. The two featured products are separate purchases; the service manual should determine the repair procedure and any additional parts required.

Cam Chain & Tensioner questions

Is the tensioner included with the cam chain?

No combined kit is described. The chain and tensioner are separate products here, allowing you to order the components required by the inspection rather than assuming a bundled repair set.

Which chain specification should I match before ordering?

The listed replacement is a 412H silent cam chain with 110 links. Keep the chain type and link count together when comparing options, and confirm the CB400A engine application before purchase.

Will I need additional gaskets for cam-drive work?

The chain and tensioner descriptions do not specify a gasket package. Use the CB400A service manual to establish which joints must be opened, then confirm the separate seals needed for that work.

Not sure which part you need?

Send your model and year, plus photos of your existing part and any changes to the original setup.
