I FINALLY fixed the CB750!

After months of procrastination I finally dove into the throttle cable issues and found the solution! Some more fine tuning and this thing will RIP!

[@justinlevymusiclessons9275]

Need to make sure the cable is routed to the left of the frame but then ABOVE the rubber gas tank mounts. Mine was sticking on the tank even though it matched the picture Murray provides. With the bike OFF and the pods OFF take a look at the slides when the handle moves side to side. My right slide was WAY open when turning right. Video author may have actually fixed his issue by freeing the cable up from under the tank without realizing it.

[@laurentginalhac2783]

I had the same rpm issue which does not drop quickly with this same murrays kit on 1982 cb750k. It was not a cable routing problem or air issues but the size of pilot jet #35 too lean for the configuration of my bike, I increased it to #50 to finally obtain a stable idle and a normal behavior. I also had to change main jet to #210 and lower the needle a step because the intermediate revs were ridiculously too rich and the bike was doing brrrrbrrr, spark plugs were weet.

[@billwells2922]

What about squirting a bit of CLP, which is generally used on guns between the cable and the outer sheath so the cable will slide more easily? Clip stands for cleans, lubricate and protects.

I just put a set on my 650sc and I'm having the same issue with the cable, rpms sticking and whatnot. May be pinched or something idk yet... Great video

[@drakeb6168]

Any update on this? Just bought a set for my 82 cb650 but didn’t opt for the quick throttle tube

[@RustyStator]

@@drakeb6168 My routing was just bad, and my throttle cable attachment was warm to shit so it was just hanging up. Sometimes you get lucky I suppose

[@chrispreslar9563]

Oh man, I live like 20 min south of you! I'm working on an 82 cb650 nighthawk. Struggling with carb issues right now, might pull the trigger on some of the carbs you got

[@joshbethel5800]

Same. My 82 I spent 10 hours redoing it over and over. Ran great except the slide. Misfire #4. Gas in airbox from #4. Finally a gasket failed, leaked fuel and my backfire got it on fire. Guess I'm buying a murrays now.

[@drakeb6168]

Also just bought a kit from Murray’s due to stock carb issues. You guys have any updates? I too have the 82 cb650 nighthawk

[@hardcruiseracing4950]

I'm also having a ton of slop in a grip on a 750 cafe racer I just picked up, wondering if this would help, you have a link?

[@B3lugaCafe]

Pulls up into garage, cb750 and lsx on the stand, are we best friends?

[@billsfabworks3188]

Certainly possible!

[@B3lugaCafe]

​@billsfabworks3188 my carb kit has been ordered from Murray's. I will be doing some videos on them as well

[@Tiknuttle]

My rpms are hanging up sometimes as well. I'm going to try what you did and and fix the issue. I have the murray carbs setup on a Yamaha maxim 650

[@silvermanrol]

Mine are doing the same, what did you do to fix?

[@danielnicholson8190]

Did these carbs work well for you in the end? I have an XJ750 SECA that I'm considering buying a set of these carbs for.

[@Tiknuttle]

@@danielnicholson8190 If you have no other option and can't get stock carbs.

[@danielnicholson8190]

@@Tiknuttle Mikuni make the RS34 performance carbs for the bike. As they are the original manufacturer, do you think they would be a better solution?

[@Tiknuttle]

@@danielnicholson8190 yes. The original carbs the bike was manufactured with is always a better solution.

[@ferf2]

where did you find your brake lever? i dropped my bike the other day and broke my shift lever so need to get new levers for my 2001 cb750 but im worried the "universal" ones on amazon that claim to fit the bike wont actually fit... have you dealt with this issue? is this possibly why you don't have the matching shift lever installed? i was looking at ordering some MZS levers similar to yours but dont want to order them if the shift lever wont fit properly.

[@billsfabworks3188]

My brake setup was off of a cbr600 apparently it’s a common swap. The universal levers always give me the heeby jeebies as well but anything 7/8 inch should fit, good luck!

[@Suzuki_drake]

IM HAVING THE SAME RPM ISSUE

[@Naude716]

Oh! My quick turn tube is also a tight fit, like real tight.. how did you take care of that for yourself?

[@billsfabworks3188]

I sanded the bars down but eventually modded stock throttle tube, I am editing a video showing that in depth now!

[@Naude716]

[@billsfabworks3188]

@@johntecl6173 I did! The details are the video called “every mod on the cb750” in that video I show the modded throttle tube up close! Hope this helps

[@Naude716]

How did u get the tube out of the grip without breaking it, and how did u secure the new tube to the old grip? 😅

[@billsfabworks3188]

To get it off I used compressed air! And to get it back on I used pro taper grip glue! Works well

[@Naude716]

@@billsfabworks3188 thanks for the tips! I have an air compressor.. did u just blow air thru the small side of the grip? Or am I confusing this for the canned air you'd use on electronics?

I believe they were mikuni 40mm carbs but I no longer have the bike

How does gas mileage compare to stock?

[@Naude716]

Probably worse haha. They're performance carbs after all. Haven't tested mine out fully yet tho.
