Honda 250-350cc (1968-1973) - CB250, CL250, CB350, CL350 & SL350 - Factory Workshop Manual
This publication is a reproduction of the original Honda factory Workshop manual. The models covered in this manual are:
- the twin cylinder 1968 to 1973 five speed CB250 (K0-K5)
- CL250 (K0-K2)
- CB350 (K0-K4)
- CL350 (K0-K5)
- SL350 (K0-K2)
- the front disc brake CB250G and CB350G models.
Beginning in 1968 and extending through the 1975 model year, the 'K' suffix often, but not always, changed on an annual basis. 'K0' was used to indicate the first model in the series with updated versions identified as K1, K2, K3 etc.
While the 'K' number designations continued in use outside the USA through 1978, in September 1973, American Honda adopted a year identifier within the model number - for example a CT70'76 would be a 1976 model.
Therefore, while the use of the letter 'K' suffix has become accepted practice to identify the progression of a particular model by year of production it can, at times, be misleading. For example, Honda occasionally identifies the 1968 models in the CB250/350 series as the CB250 & CB350 without the use of the 'K0' suffix and sometimes 'bypasses' the use of K1 for the 1969 models and jumps to K2 for the 1970 models.
Setting this potential for confusion aside and reverting to what has become generally accepted usage of the 'K' suffix, we can state that this manual covers the five speed K0, K1, K2, K3, K4, K5 and disc brake models of the CB250 & CB350 and their variants from 1968 through 1973.
Finally, please note that the text in the original Honda Factory Workshop Manual was translated from Japanese into English. Consequently, some of the phrasing, grammar, punctuation and word usage may be subtly different from that commonly used in the English language. However, the information, as presented, is readily understandable.
