Yes, the Ohm-d out switch works properly. switch closed when the clutch engaged, open when released.

Ohm-d out the clutch handlebar switch, and it is fine. When troubleshooting, i usually go back to "What was the last thing you did?" as a start, which was to change out the starter relay, which was bad. I bought the cheap one that everyone is selling now, it appears. The OEM relay was $129.00...

The bike does not move forward when clutch lever is pulled but attempting to start with the key on and the clutch pulled the selenoid or starter will not engage. As stated I changed out the starter selenoid with a newer $15.00 one. The bike starts fine when in neutral with cheap selenoid just...

Thanks but that's not it. Clutch is clutching fine. For example your a stop and you kill it, pull in clutch hit start button while in gear. I guess I'll break out the ohm meter and schematics. Thanks for the reply.

Well, I got one for everyone. When pulling in the clutch lever the starter will not engage (starts fine in neutral). I replaced the starter solenoid recently because it was bad with a cheap $15 one since I could not find OEM anywhere. So anyone have advice before I tear into it seriously...

Well those are the tire sizes for that vintage look and are pretty good. Their still available also

Throwing my hat into the ring, need parts

Seems to be a old post, but is there a chart for jet size versus altitude? I have read that go down one jet size for every 2,000' of elevation. I foul plugs consistency after moving from 700' elevation to 6,800'. Any thoughts?

Just a little easy and quick 101 troubleshooting to isolate the problems. If it does change the symptoms then you know, and time to change it or test further. As you stated some basic knowledge that could come in handy if you are stuck on the road and you don't have a meter or test light handy...

Another Hoosier !!! , from Indy also, and have an 81K. carbs are running very rich out here and trying to figure out the jetting equation ......HPH stands for "High Plains Hoosier"

Hmmm,,,might give that a shot

Hear what your saying, but selenoids can also stick in the open position and not engage the starter. Just going from what I've seen. Time to bang the selenoid with a rubber mallet and see what happens. think he's proven the starter is ok and a new way to start a campfire.

Obviously antifreeze from radiator. Just a little humor. I'll go play in the street now with heavy traffic. Honestly just sounds like oil, change it and see what happens, don't run synthetic if you would like your clutch to work properly, wet clutch.

Starter Solenoids stick, I took mine off and banged it on the workbench. put it back on and works fine. Assume it's a temporary fix. before you take it off you can bang with a rubber mallet while on the bike and see if there is any difference. POA pulling the starter motor.

I'm for it, I'll bring the beer

used the link above and pulled the manual down. thanks very much

got the same problem, when moved from IN to CO from 700' to 6700' in elevation, and plugs running very rich and foul after only a few miles. Assume it's the jetting but what size do you need? Any insight is greatly appreciated.

I missed the boat on this one. Could it be possible to upload the 81 shop manual to Dropbox again? I will name my first born male child after you, Although close to 70 now so not likely to happen. Just trying to get my old bike going. Thanks

I've been looking for a rear rim (spoke)for my 81 cb750k forever. The chrome is pretty roached along with the spokes. The honda # is 42701-425-771. Apparently, this rim has not been manufactured for quite some time so looking for a replacement part# that is current or if anyone has any ideas...
