A chap called Isaias gave me this to share on here. Massive thank you to him for scanning.

Excellent period Honda publication with setup details of models such as CB450K0, CB72, 160, S90 etc.

Interesting to read, it seems odd that it didn’t come from the factory with the timing and tappets already set correctly. The instructions seem to say that it had been done, but then altered during testing.

The preservative oil has been discussed before, was it fish oil, or did it just smell that way?
