Forks and genernal CB750 K6 rennovation....

<< < (4/4)

Bryanj:
Those torque settings should be ok as 550 and 750 front end are very similar and yes the washer does look like somebody nibbled an edge off

scotia_steve:
Seems to be the same part numbers for the front end.

All back together now, but I decided I don't like the paint on the forks anymore and will polish :)

The fuel is the issue. It seems to separate very quickly. Drained it and it worked a treat!

Also put w connectors in the front headlamp loom to the switch - much better than Halfords bullets!

Bryanj:
I agree, modern petrol, or gas as the yanks call it, does go off a lot quicker than it used to.

When new, first Hondas to need draining if stood were CX500 & CB750/900 twin cam(79+) and it was usualy anything over 8 days drain the carbs, what was in the tank stayed OK though. Never did figure out why just drained them in the workshop on pre- customer checkover

It was like night and day when I drained - started really quickly!
