Have a look on the US SOHC site, there is lots of info there

http://www.sohc4.net/index.php?title=TechLibrary

Have a look at the info here. I would expect that the K series would have the same routing as the F1

Also you should be able to get a manual from

http://hondatech.info/downloads/Moto/CB/CB750-F1/

I hope it shows a routing picture, but if not you have a decent manual.

Looking at the only picture that I have of my K1, the cables go up the spine of the frame (between the three tubes) and one goes one side of the steering head and I think the other goes on the opposite side. The front cable goes to the right side of the steering head. Not sure if that will help or not.

Thanks again Bryan. I have ordered some Threebond and will have a look and see if I can get the studs from the US.

CB750 / Gasket sealant
« on: May 16, 2009, 11:42:42 AM »
Another question. I have looked at the US site and the recommenced sealant for crank cases seems to be Hondabond or Threebond 1194. I have found a source of the latter and was wondering what the wisdom was.

Another result of reading was the suggestion that the barrell studs should be replaced by some high tensile ones to allow a bit more torque to the cylinder head. My barrels are at 810cc (I believe) so should I change the studs as I have got the thing in bits

Thanks again

Is there a shorter route? Not sure if the manual shows the cable routing, some do. Do you have a proper (not Haynes) manual?

Sounds like a routing problem. Are the cables being caught by the tank preventing them from moving. I guess they are the same length as the ones that you replaced.

Raise the tank and see if that sorts the problem.

Good luck

Thanks Bryan

I guessed the second option was a non starter, but you live in hope..

CB500/550 / CB 550 Fork Advice
« on: May 11, 2009, 01:03:55 PM »
I was checking a friends CB 550 K4 for MoT time. I noticed that when sitting on the bike and holding the front brake on, it was possible to rock on the forks and get them to dip a long way. The front felt very soft.
First decision is to replace the fork oil, is the standard grade OK or would it be best to go for something a little more viscous?
Other possibility is that the springs are past their best, How would I know without pulling them out?

As usual, advice appreciated
Cheers

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENTS
Float Adjustment
The carburetor assembly has to be removed
and partially disassembled for this adjustment.
1. Remove the carburetor assembly
2. Remove the screws  securing
the float bowls to the main bodies and remove
them. In order to use a float level gauge it is
necessary to remove all float bowls for gauge
clearance.
3. Measure the distance from the bottom of
the float to the float bowl gasket surface
 The correct height is 0.61 in.
(15.5 mm). Use a float level gauge
4. Adjust by carefully adjusting the tang on
the float arm.
CAUTION
The floats on all 4 carburetors must be
adjusted to exactly the same height to
maintain the same fuel/air mixture to all 4
cylinders.
5. If the float level is set too high, the result
will be a rich fuel/air mixture. If it is set too
low, the mixture will be too lean.
6. Reassemble and install the carburetors by
reversing the steps.


I pulled thismout of a manual, hope it helps. Do you have a decent manual for your bike? If not have a look on the US site ( http://www.sohc4.net/index.php?title=Main_Page )

Had a look. Looks like they are not available any more. Part number is 90041-300-000 and it is the lower crankcase bolt. There are a pair of long ones (140 x 8mm)
Please have a look in your boxes of bits

Thanks

Thanks for the link. I'll give it a go. I have a bit of time before I need the bolt as I need to clean and repaint the cases.

CB750 / Crank Case bolt
« on: May 03, 2009, 10:21:22 PM »
Lookin for a bit of help. One of my crank case bolts has sheared. I am fairly optiistic for the removal, but need a replacement. David Silver does not have them. Anyone with a spare? Happy to pay for the bolt and postage.

Looking for one of the 140mm long bolts that clamp the crankshaft. I believe tha there are 10 in total and most are 120mm.

Cheers
Seamus
