Hi, I’ve got a 1982 DOHC & I’ve broken down & stripped the carbs. I’m running it with the stock air box & a K&N filter. The jets are 107 & 68, are these the right size or not? The other thing is that in 2 of the carbs the 107/68 jets are switched around! Now, which orifice should they be in ...

Hi all, you guys in the States seem to mention Pine Sol for cleaning carbs, does anyone know what the UK equivalent is please? I’m going to strip mine right down for a proper clean & want to soak each individual carb . Cheers Windy

Hi, I’ve got a 1982 750F DOHC & have just sorted the valve clearances. The bike runs better now but the revs are all over the place & it doesn’t go back to tick over immediately and it’s running rich. I’m presuming the carbs need overhauling. Now, do I have to break them down to individual carbs...

Now then people, I’m cleaning up the bars on my 750 & want to fit a custom speedo. I’ve seen a few on eBay & some state ‘60mph = 2240 rpm’ They are mechanical & use the speedo cable. My question is, would this be accurate on a 1982 CB750F? Does the motor run at those revs at 60mph, in top gear...

Morning all, I’m in the UK & was wondering where people buy valve shins from, how much they are & which are the common sizes to buy? Cheers people.

Hi, I'm sorting out a 1982 FZ electrics at the moment by junking the original wiring loom & making a simplified one. I want to clean up the handlebars and have come across a switch in the clutch lever housing. Firstly, what is its purpose and can I just disconnect it & get rid without any...

Hi, I've just got my 82 FZ up & running but I had to ditch the wiring loom as it had been chopped & ruined over the years. Now I thought I'd clean up the bars & get rid of the OEM switches but this would mean ditching the throttle twistgrip as well. Obviously there are 2 cables, am I right in...

Finally getting round to sorting my 750. The wiring harness is junk, it's been cut, chopped & messed about with so I'm going to start again with a cut down, cleaner look. I saw a bare bones wiring diagram on here by 'losttravlyr' ( are you still on here matey?) which looks great. I just need a...

Hi everyone, just thought I'd say hello from the UK as I've just joined the Forum. Just bought a 1982 dohc off ebay & intend to turn it into a bobber of some sort, once I've finished restoring my classic 1972 Mini Van! So I'll be looking for ideas & inspiration at some point in the future. Cheers.
