i have a 1980 dohc cb750 that needs all new gaskets and seals. I build national championship winning dirtbike motors but have never touched one of these motors before so it is a bit of a learning experience for me. I have read in multiple places that a cb900 crank and top end will fit my bike...

At the end of 2021, I traded an unused Macbook Air for a decent 1982 CB750C with title and all, got it registered under my name and off to the races. I went through some carb trouble, fought drivetrain elements, and, everyone's favorite, electrical gremlins. Summer of 2022, I slapped on a new...

Having issues when braking, I feel a CHUG/VOID in compression of fork when braking. Looking @ the factory specs. I noticed oil type is not shown. I've heard that heavy viscosity automotive oils can be used. I've also noticed on this chart that the amount of oil varies from assembly to...

Hi, I have a 1982 CB 900F and I need some help with it. I had finished building the engine and everything seemed to be perfect. However, when I accelerated, the primary chain (the chain from the crank to the gearbox) slipped. I opened the gearbox and found that the chain was loose and had...

Hi all, The problem started after the bike was dropped. Now the main 30 amp fuse pops whenever the key is turned to the “on” position. I replaced the wiring harness and managed to get the bike to turn over a couple times before the main fuse popped again. My battery cables don’t seem to be...

Doing my first engine rebuild and while I was tearing down the motor, working on getting the crankcases separated (I think) I had the motor on its side and this guy fell onto my worktop. Not sure what it is our where it came from. Any thoughts?

I have been examining the motor on a CB750K (1981) with an eye to getting it to run. It's a bike that was left in a storage locker with a license plate that expired in 2001. I found the electrics had a dead short and other apparent issues but today I did a "thumb" test and found no compression...

Hello all, I got a 1979 Honda CB 750k (Fancy-schmancy 10th anniversary edition) Anyway i’ve never been able to get the steering lock to work properly. Essentially I turn the wheel all the way to the left press down on the key and attempt to turn it to the lock position and it just does not...

Good day, I'm new on here, but not new to bikes and have worked a fair bit on Honda CBs. I have an 82 CB900F in the garage at the moment. Pretty much a rebuild as it hasn't ran since 08. I took the calipers apart and cleaned them and bought new seals from the Honda dealer. The kits were from...

I have never worked on a motorcycle before, never mind a carbureted engine. A friend of mine gave me a bike he planned on fixing but was just going to scrap because he gave up. I put fuel in the tank of this old 82 750SC and the fuel wasn’t getting through the lines of this diaphragm part thing...

Hi I have a 1982 custom and I am trying to lower it about an inch so that I can walk the bike easier. I’m 5’4. I am aware I probably need to go aftermarket but if I can lower it without that would be great. Any help appreciated.

Rebuilding engine on my 81 750. I know I have seen posts on here from amc about the "hard/expensive" to get main bearings for the DOHC. On Partzilla they are $17.50 EACH. Is that accurate that I am going to shell out $180+ on main bearings? Any places you know where I can purchase them from...
