So long as it has the original front brake it's not road ready.

I had one from 1972 till 1978 and than his wheels and the rest of the Japanese chrome overall where rusted, due to the salt on the roads in the wintertime i think,, i felt really sorry to let him go then.

Nice work Chris! I'm still impressed how quickly Honda produced the 750 back in the late 60's. I ride a K4 and just marvel at the overall design and reliability.

Hey Chris, I'm one of those "talk to myself" guys while I work on my bikes. I also take a lot of pics so I remember the sequence of getting things back together. Great job installing the chain too.

Hey Chris, I was just wondering how many miles on the CB750? Was it due for a top end refresh? I ride a K4 and it's still running well over 35K miles. Thanks

It wasn’t really do. It was leaking out of the head. All my fault because of a head gasket replacement I did 4 years ago. And then one thing led to another. Ya know, project creep. 28K on the odo now. I feel like I got it right this time.

Nice to see it opened up, but I never had a moment's trouble setting the valves on my 1970 model with just the caps off. I bought the bike new and never had a problem with the engine except for one cylinder that ran rich enough to make the spark plug insulator noticeably darker than the others. It did not affect the performance or drivability of the engine, but it bugged me. I vacuum synchronized the carbs and set the idle mixture several times but the problem persisted, so I finally pulled off the carburetor set and pulled the slide out of the offending carb, which was the early model with the individual cable to each carb. The problem turned out to be a misdrilled idle port at the bottom of the carb bore, apparently caused by a broken drill bit during manufacture. Don't know how Honda missed it in inspection, but there it was. Rather than replace the carburetor body, I drilled and tapped the port to take an 8-32 brass insert and then drilled the insert with the appropriate number drill to replicate the jet size as close as I could measure it. I think it was about a #56 drill, but that was a long time ago. It ran fine and I sold it when the kids came along, but of course I envy you having one to ride today.
@theseasonedriderАй бұрын
Nice investigative finding on the idle port. Wow. With the engine in the frame the valve clearance check was always straight forward to me but I did a total valve job and when I put it back together I got completely confused. In the next video (part 26?) finally get it right.

my bike was produced in 1992 also. is titled 1993, word on facebook groups and forums is no one has seen a titled or regestered 1992. i have never seen one for sale listed as 1992 in the usa. you would be the fist . you sure you got a 1992 title and regestration.

@anonimous24512 ай бұрын
That is actually incorrect. 5 years production. 78-79 were naked, 80-82 were sport touring with fairings though in 80 they still sold the naked version. In 1981, Honda repositioned the CBX into the sport touring category with the CBX-B, detuning the engine to 98 hp (73 kW) and adding Pro-Link monoshock rear suspension, air-adjustable 39 mm front forks, a fairing and optional panniers with a stronger frame to support these additions. The CBX was given ventilated dual front brake discs due to the increased weight. The 1982 model CBX-C model differed little from the 1981 model, having only some changes to paint and trim. The Pre- 80's models are the most desirable unless you can restore the power band to pre-81 105 hp ratings. Even so, this model never realized its full potential as a superbike but the exhaust note was one of a kind. True music to the ears. (The problem with this bike was the 39 mm front forks were woefully inadequate for the bike's weight and handling. It put the bike into a category that no one wants to be in, under equipped suspension. )

3:50 "sprocket lined up"? How do you know the cam is timed correctly? Is sprocket in just a random orientation and then you rotate the cam to get the sprocket to bolt to the cam? The timing will be wrong.
@theseasonedrider2 ай бұрын
The cam was always on it’s marks with the key Chuck at the 12 o’clock, the horizontal lines on the cam ends aligned with the cam cap half’s and the timing mark on T1 or 1 and 4.
