I have a shake too. Will the brass/bronze swing arm bushing help with this?

Got a replacement regulator/rectifier circuit from cb750supply and swapped it out. Everything seems to be working alright as far as the battery charging. I bought a new battery a few months ago when I got the regulator and haven't had to put the charger on yet. As for the turn signal I think...

Sorry it took so long to update but my grandfather had some 32W hydraulic oil. We put the in and I haven't seen any leaks since. It jars me a little more but that was expected.

Is there any procedure to shim the needles? I have a 1977 CB750K and I have seen people talk about shimming the needles a few times but nothing more than that it needs to be done.

I can't remember where I saw it but someone recommended jetting the carbs the next size up because of ethanol. Is this a smart move?

I can not remember if I did this or not.

Replaced all the friction plates, they were almost smooth, and have been running them for a couple days with no more problems. Checked the idle screw and it was tightened down quite a bit, must have been from when the jets were clogged. Thank you for all the help!

Gotta keep her on the road.

Just to make sure, I only need the friction plates right? Not the steel clutch plates.

I only have the Clymer manual. My father, who was the original owner, has been helping me and has more tools including the impact. Looking at cb750supply.com there are three different plates that fit a '77 K. How do I know which one(s)? Thank you for the offer, if it gets too out of hand i...

I changed the oil about a month ago. I have been using Mobil 1 Racing™ 4T Motorcycle Oil (https://mobiloil.com/en/motor-oils/mobil-1/mobil-1-4t-motorcycle-oil#10W-40) for a couple of years. My carb boots were changed about the same time as the oil (we ordered replacements from David Silver...

Honestly, I have no idea what it would feel like if the clutch were slipping. There always seems to be a distinction between the clutch engaged and disengaged. What are the most common signs?

I guess a little elaboration would help. 'My bike' is a '77 CB750K. Because almost everything on this bike is at least 30 years old I would not be surprised about the friction plates. I have had problems with the carbs before and was trying to get through the simmer so I could send them off...

Lately my bike has been between 4k and 5k at idle, which is annoying but I think I just need to play with the idle a little more, but what really has me concerned is this. If I accelerate too hard (or at all sometimes) my tach will jump almost 1000 RPMs with gradual acceleration/ power gain, if...

Let's get back on the road!
