I've had some bad luck with one of my fork seals consistently leaking and wanted to get the opinion of others. Take a look at the following pictures and please let me know if anything obvious stands out that could potentially cause a fork to leak: I feel like the problem likely has to do with...

Hello everyone, I'm in the process of rebuilding my first engine and was wondering how you guys remove the carbon build up on/around the valves ( if its even necessary to remove all of it ). I don't want to be too rough as I know these parts are delicate for clearances, especially around the...

Hello I have a restored Honda CB 750 Custom from 1981. The motorcycle has undergone a major renovation. Chains with tensioners, pistone rings, valve seals, pans and bushings have been replaced in the engine. The problem is that when I start the motorcycle on the choke, even on warm days, for...

Hi everyone, I've a 1979 Honda cb750 kz that I've had in storage for about 8 years and I'm finally getting round to getting it back on the road. Its in pretty good condition but when I bought it didn't have the front brake calipers on so after getting them out the box of bits I've noticed the...

New to the bike world. Carb cleaning is a giant pain in the ass, especially for someone who's never before touched a carb. I am thinking about getting a set of Murray's Carbs. Any opinions? Should I or shouldn't I? I pretty much have my mind made up already, figured i'd just throw this up here...

hello CB750 friends - in the proces of resto-modifying ( into a race replica ) my CB750F s/s, like most of the bike ... the rear brake's master cylinder is completely gone -- I had to cut it off from the footpeg brackets, since it was welded by years of galvanic corrosion so my question is...

Hi all, I'm rewiring my '81 CB750C. I just got to the starter solenoid, which I assume is the original, OEM unit. I see the 4 male connectors go to the reg/rec, starter switch, ignition switch, and clutch diode but I'm unable to find out which one is which. Is there a way to test them? Does...

Hello all New to this group and thanks for having me. I am sure this question has been asked before but here goes. I have a 1981 CB750C DOHC project and I am not in love with the stock tank. I like the CB750K and CB750F tanks but I am not sure the fitment will work. Does anyone know what my...

Hey Guys, I finally got around and started the valve clearance job. But here comes a vague situation. I got a micrometer and also a feeler gauge. When i measure the feeler gauge with the micrometer it gets to the appropriate measurement( so 0,05mm is 0,05mm+-0,01mm) I started measuring my...

OK, after getting a grounding issue and buying a decent set of jumper cables, I was able to do the compression test on my newly acquired 79 CB750L. Figured I'd move this over to the engine forum since electrical issues are sorted. After seeing the compression test results, I'm wondering if I...

I was wondering if there was any major differences between the two models. As I understand it the 700SC was for the US because of something to do with Harley not allowing bikes to be larger than 700cc. In Canada however they did sell the 750cc version? I'm shopping for a complete gasket kit...

Hello, just brought home a 79 CB750L project. Bike is partially together and was able to get it running with some jumper cables and starter fluid at the previous owners place before making the purchase. Once i got it home, i tried again as i wanted to do a compression test. Yeah, i know, should...

Hello, new member here that has been wanting to do a scrambler/tracker build for many years. With the extra time during the pandemic, the fire started burning again so I started to look for donor bikes. After lots of searching and passing on bikes that I later wished I had taken, I realized...

Will any of the more experienced folks on here (maybe amc or dirtdigger) provide some advice on whether I should put in the effort to repair, rebuild, and re-jet the stock CV carbs or should I look at a replacement? I'm planning on using pod air filters and either a 4-into-1 (Delkevic) or a...

So i have a 1981 DOHC CB750C, runs great at an idle; but as rpms climb while riding it cuts out as if it's not getting fuel/air. I suspect electrical to be the cause. Reasons being that I have completely disassembled all 4 carbs and rebuilt them. Charging system is all new and verified that it's...

Hello all, I have done a little searching, but as of yet, I obviously haven't found the info I was looking for. I am a new rider, and make a mistake while changing the oil. Needless to say, I dropped the bike, and bent the rear brake pedal. It's still operable, but the pad is angled at an...
