Are you aware that you can repair that basket by drilling the rivets out, separating the gear from the basket exposing the (likely failed) rubber dampers. You then replace the rubber dampers and reassemble the clutch basket using bolts instead of rivets. It's a common repair and makes a big...

What's the chances eh.... Let's see!

Well, sometimes the angels of mercy look upon you! After way too much time working on the bike this weekend I took another look at the neutral switch and tried to get the neutral light working. During my troubles I managed to shear off the new neutral switch which made my heart sink. However it...

I should also add that removing the brass washer helped a little in that the neutral light quickly flashes on when shifting into and out of neutral but does not stay on when left in neutral. It's as if the contract briefly connects when entering or leaving neutral but isn't closing when in neutral.

Hey folks, I've got a problem. After double checking all my wiring and being 110% it's all correctly connected, I think I have worked out why my neutral switch is not triggering the neutral light. As I understand it, when the end of the switch connects to the shift drum (when placed in the...

Thanks pal, I have just done as you suggest and I am now seeing oil pressure meaning that the pump is definitely working! On the down side it now looks as if I have a small oil leak coming from the new gasket just above the cylinder head. 😵‍💫

Hey folks. I have just rebuilt the top end of my 1982 CB750F supersport engine which included engine removal, flipping it over to remove the oil pan and reassembly. Although I didn't rebuild the oil pump when I flipped the engine some oil came out in the vicinity of the oil pump so I fear that...

1st picture is the connection from your wiring loom to your neutral switch. It's a 4mm bullet connector from memory that sits just below and infront of your gear shift selector. If you need to replace it, it connects into the wire harness that runs from the ignition advancer to the red plug on...

Hi folks, I'm currently restoring a 1982 CB750F Supersport and having now rebuilt the engine I am test fitting a new set of Mikuni carbs and found and have run into an issue. From memory the carb spacing of the OEM KeiHin carbs (now sold) was 80-100-80 at the inlet of the rubber boots. As these...

Hey Folks - Random question, I have an '82 CB750F Supersport. There are two blue and two yellow wires connecting the spark units to the pulse generator. Qn - does it matter which way round they connect, is this important? I understand that the two yellows feed one spark unit and the blues the...
