Is there anyone on the forum who has fitted there own tank decals? I have just got some from DSS. (K2 type) I am very nervous about fitting them. Is there a "Best method " of putting them on the tank without kinking or distorting them? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.

Has anyone on here tried any diy powder coating, and if so how did it turn out ? Just wondering wether to try one of those cheapish kits that are available, to do some smaller items on the 750.

My wife has started to ride my 400/4, she is having problems with the clutch, says its very hard to pull, I have to agree it is quite heavy, does anybody know of any simple cheap way of making the clutch pull a little lighter ?

My 750K4 was running fine apart from a slight "stumble" when accelerating gently from say 30 up to 40 mph, also showing signs of being rich i.e. sooty deposits on plugs - hardly any choke required to start. After some investigation I found that there were 120 main jets in carbs. Searching through both SOHC sites, speaking to David Silver and looking at CSMNL website it was decided that 105 mains should be in carbs so duly ordered 4 of these and fitted at the same time I checked tappets, points, timing, carb synch, adjusting timing chain etc. New plugs (D8EA). Bike now doesn't have a flat spot at low revs, but "holds back" "surges" on harder acceleration, doesn't want to go past 3500 to 4000 RPM. Re-checked all settings, re-fitted 120 jets, still the same. Checked fuel supply - cleaned petrol tap, still the same, any help/advice would be gratefully received. Thanks

Just found this site on the internet while looking for copper cored HT cable, The Green Spark Plug Company, based in cheshire, they supply Plugs, HT cable, Spark plug caps, could be useful, and the prices look reasonable. Maybe already known, but thought it was worth a mention.

Hello everyone, is it possible to renew the HT leads only on a CB 750, or any other SOHC, without having to renew the coils, mine are not in the best condition, but dont want to go to the expense of renewing coils as well if poss. Regards ianmck.
