CB750 Dealer Setup Manual
« on: November 19, 2025, 09:04:55 AM »
I saw a request for this document in a post from 2011:

http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=98669.0#lastPost

It still doesn't seem to be in the tech library.

I have a copy that I am happy to share, if someone can tell me how to attach it - it is 10,9MB

CB750 K1 - The less, said the better!
CB450 K1 - A work in progress. (Still!)
CB400F Supersport - Rusty - not any more!

I can put it in my Dropbox links but I will need the file.

Not sure what the limit is via email.

You can get a free Dropbox account and it is very useful for transferring large files.

SteveD or JamesH may have alternative suggestions.

If you want to try emailing it as an attachment send it to ashimoto750@gmail.com

Glad you enjoyed the blog.

I get a few snide remarks about those links ..but only from a very, very small minority'.

I only have this to say.

1) Many of those scans are from my own personal collection of manuals and were not available anywhere on the net at the time I scanned them. For example the green CB72/77 manual and the green CB/CL250/350/K0 Parts Book. But like other sites I chose not to watermark them

2) Some manuals I had to deface in order the auto scan ..e.g. cut off the spine when they are adhesive bound. Some I bought and scanned on behalf of this forum, as I didn't have the actual model in my bike collection.

3) The links survived the change of server disaster unlike Aladdin's Cave.

4) The collection got so large in data that I had to upgrade from the  free Dropbox version to a £10/month subscription. Not a problem for me at all...just saying.

5) A lot of other sites also use data from other sites and also make you sign up for access. Some even charge a donation, whereas anyone can access our Dropbox links.

6) A lot of data was initially scanned by Bryan Jones on here yonks ago  and get regurgitated on other sites with no thanks to Bryan. For example the invaluable CB750 and CB500 Service Bulletins, which I have added missing ones and now we have a pretty complete set.

7) A really nice guy called Isaias on Face Book bought some really rare manuals from Japan and scanned them and gave me his blessing to include his .pdf's of them on here (like the 1976 set of pre-1976 Service Bulletins that covers 1960's models like singles & twins, CB250/350K  and also Honda paint code tables, dealer tools  etc.) and also an uprated late CB450 Parts Book that covers the Police model.

Rant over.

A long time ago i did provide some scans to Glen for the US site but i believe Honda US got upset about it and he had to pull them officially.
When i first started i actually rang Honda GB and asked them if i could scan no longer published parts books and manuals and was told no problem as long as it is not for profit so i did, i also purchased lots of it from the US when they had cheap "surface" mail but since it has gone airmail only not so much.
What i have anybody is welcome to and many thanks to Ash for hosting it.
Since my old XP descktop died i have lost a lot of the files so cant burn the dvds any more, such is life nowadays. I have backup hard drives but as it was all in XP a lot of it I cant axcess, somebody else might be able to but just short of 73 i really cant be arsed.

Some of my stash of parts will be up for sale after i have rebuilt No 36 and one other anybody is welcome to ask, it wont be free, except for the 550 listed elswhere, but not DS or CMS prices.

Thanks for reading
Bryan

I have USB adapters for old IDE and also SATA (serial) drives both full size and laptop size Bryan,, quite happy to try and recover data toa big USB memory stick if you want to pad them well and get to me.

Might need some tiny  bits for my 500K0 if you want to sell mate .. Ben Powell and myself are slowly finishing it off. Ben hopes to be riding it in the springtime.

Thanks Ash, i have clones the drive but when trying to acess the files on a different puter it tells me i dont have permission to open files, i think it the difference XP to 7.

PM me with what you need and i will see if i have it spare and can find it, at least yours is a genuine resto, No 36 will be just a rebuild as engine cases long gone!
