CB750 / Re: CB750 F2 Primary chains
« on: Today at 12:12:27 AM »

George, that only works on Hyvo primaries, like the 400/500/550's. 750 chains are different, they are not Hyvo, they are a lot thinner and there are 2 of them, side by side.
Ding dong....getting ahead of myself Julie!

Wear limit spec is 70mm. Does anyone know what this measurement is with a brand new chain?

If you place a primary chain upright and the top row sags to contact with the bottom row the chain is finished. As to how close you'll let it come to that I guess is up to you.

London's Mayor is up for election next week.

Sadiq the Idiot will only be in power if people vote him there. Or worse...don;t bother to vote, thus once more allowing a vocal minority who DO vote to dictate who is in power.
I will be getting up bright and early to vote against this power freak!

CB350/400 / Reaching tail light wires
« on: April 27, 2024, 02:34:49 PM »
Could it be my wires are too short or something? I had to bend the tang on my new tail light assembly to finally have the associated wire go on and the two other wires nearly had me burst a blood vessel.  >:( Honestly though when you have COPD it is things like this that make it show in the end. Is it easier to start undoing other things first. Any ideas?  ;)

I'm with you on this Ash I'm a Leftie.
Blimey, it's going political ....what if someone is centrist  :-\  I'm politically mobile myself so I don't really give a hoot which way around it is from that viewpoint!  ;D

Triggers view on it is that the nut should be on right, for 2 reasons. If you need to remive the wheel with the on board tool kit, you would put your foot on the spanner to give extra pressure to undo the nut. If it was on the left, you would have to pull up on the spanner. And, if it was on the right and you are pulling up on the spanner, there is a risk that the bike could roll forward off of the centre stand.
That's it then, mine is staying on the right!  ;)

You are not alone my 400 has the nut on the left hand side.

In the Honda Parts List it is shown with the nut on the left hand side.
I'm glad there are at least two nutters on here then! Ted, my picture shows it on the right hand side. ;D

Looking at some of the photos I noted the rear axle nut seemed to be on back to front, which in turn can only mean the axle is too, so I checked on the CMSL diagram, but no, it is ME that has it on back to front!  :o ( see image) ding dong...was it me that started this or a mechanic in the past? Thing is....does it actually matter? :-\
