If she's chesty you don't careYou say that like it's a bad thing....
This is a beauty. I have exactly the same one 14k miles 1978 CB750 K. Love riding it around town. However the previous guys replaced the original exhaust with 4 to 1. This has changed the sound but still drives like a dream. I do hear the cam chain sound though which is a bit concerning... should i take it in or not worry and keep riding ?78 K 16k miles 836 lots of cycle x parts
Have you adjusted the cam chain tensioner and checked valve adjustment? Also, if the carbs are a bit out of synch., you'll get some extra engine noise regardless.I do hear the cam chain sound though which is a bit concerning... should i take it in or not worry and keep riding ?
That's a beauty. Wish my old back would take that abuse still, because those are my favorite style of bikes. Had a couple of old Triumph choppers and a ridgid frame Sporty back in the day.1976 cb750F1
If you hear actual cam chain sound then no you should not keep riding it. Try adjusting cam chain first but it probably has timing chain wheels that have deteriorated and are coming apart. Timing chains are a weak point in the sohc so its nothing to just let go and forget about it.This is a beauty. I have exactly the same one 14k miles 1978 CB750 K. Love riding it around town.
