1974 CB750K Merced Ca $750 - SOLD SOLD Leaving post up so buyers can find my past posts about the bike. I just got a new bike and I don't really have room for 2 so I'm going to try and sell this one because the new one is nicer. I'm selling it dirt cheap. Why? Because I got it for free and...

I was just given this for Xmas. Needed a new battery and bath. Includes the hard locking saddlebags. (not pictured)

You keep saying the carbs haven't been synced, that's kinda the first step. Link below shows a tube. https://www.cmsnl.com/honda-cb750f-750-super-sport-1978-usa_model7240/partslist/F++09.html

To clarify this, the bike will idle at any temperature but.... …. the RPM at which the engine idles is directedly related to the temperature of the engine and the throttle position just like the (hypothetical) 2018 Chevy truck in your driveway. The only difference is the truck has a computer to...

Count me in.
