CB750 / Re: Quick technical question

The UK K6 have a green back ground, all the others K0 to K5 have a dark blue back ground. Later models K4 onwards have speedometer at 10mph increments

I would go back to balancing the carbs again, well worth investing in a kit. I had similar problems with my CB750 but it did sort out the low rev lumpy/chain snatch problem

Good luck

Hi Paul,

Have you used a set of 4 vacuum gauges to balance the carbs? I had a number of problems with setting-up my CB750 last year, leaking rubbers/eratic tick-over, purchased a set of gauges and followed the instructions, well worth the money

Hi,
I have a CB750 K4, if you post some photo's myself and others can give you some advice. as suggested, your electrics will need to be tested  to eliminate cable/connector faults and component failures. Do you have a multimeter?

I have bought a CB750 K4 rear luggage rack (off ebay) which is rusty in parts and will require re-chroming
No experience on re-chroming, so any advice on the subject/recommended re-chromer would be appreciated

Thanks

Hi Jock,
 
Just had a look at the 2 books I have (re: engine/frame no's) the K0's started 104****as it was a transition model before the K1, so I would concider your machine to be an origonal CB 750. Well worth the restoration

CB750 / Re: Anyone actually go and see the K0 on Ebay
« on: December 20, 2009, 10:43:14 PM »
The tank trim and rear shocks are not correct but the frame and carbs with seperate cords are consistant with a CB750 (1969-1970 model) Engine is a K1, which would have the combined carb linkage.
But still a very nice bike! (K=Kariyo)

CB750 / Re: NOS parts on Ebay can be nearly twice the David Silver Price!!
« on: December 03, 2009, 08:12:36 AM »
I would agree too. Bought a battery strap of ebay last year, some months later looking for another part on DS I noticed the same strap was half price...old habits!
