Any good Honda mechanics in or around Leeds

K2-K6:
Looks like it's running pod type air filters,  with these it's difficult to set up low rpm running to get it competently smooth and they can sound much more unrefined in comparison to expectations.

That's not drastic but acknowledged as an area of compromise when compared to standard air intake system.

When you run it in gear,  try just gently squeezing the rear brake to give a little load on the drive train consistently.  It'll usually quieten down like that as it's pulling torque right through in one direction and not oscillating the transmission components to produce noise.

On these engines it's getting used to the noises it should make to get a decent judgment of condition / faults if present.

Quite a few are alarmed when initially getting to live with one of these as they do have some characteristic noises not expected.

After watching many videos on cb750 engine noises, I decided mine is pretty quiet 8) So taxed and insured her today and will try her out on the road tomorrow ;D. Hopefully will come back unscathed.

LOL the last time I was at Squires I was on a triumph Bonneville listening to the Shangri las 'Remember' I believe it has moved from that location now and is very popular. I mean to get over there at some point I will let you know when. Are you a regular visitor? in which case I will make it when you are present. thanks very much for your offer.

Just about every time I go out I end up there at some point.... either as a start point or for a last dash coffee.. :-)
