Hi I have some problems with my Honda CB750 F1 problems I don't think I can tackle on my own. So as the title, does anyone know of anyone competent around the Leeds area who can help? I think I have a problem something to do with the gears they engage OK and drive the wheel OK but at low revs there is a horrible clunking sound. this seems to be coming from the alternator area but cant figure why placing it in gear would affect the alternator! Basically looking for someone who can sort it as I dont think I have the knowledge or nonce regarding a multi cylinder machine.

Bryanj:
They are no more difficult than a single and way easier than a British twin, sound could simply be loose or bad chain and/or sprocket.
Go to alladins cave and download the appropriate manual then with a decent 3/8 six sided metric socket set and an impact screwdriver you are good to go.

Unfortunately its not the chain I have checked that, unless its the primary chain in which case according to the manual its a cylinder head off job :-[

Nurse Julie:
Nope, it's an engine out in one complete lump job. You can't even get the rocker cover off these engines with it still in the frame  :'( If it's the cam chain, once you get the engine out of the frame, it is the top end that needs to be stripped. If it's the primary chains, that's a complete engine strip.
