Cb750 Clutch rattle
« on: October 01, 2025, 10:28:42 AM »
Morning. Had a quick site search and didn't come up with an answer. Did anyone ever come up with a truly workable solution to the famous CB750K clutch rattle. Somebody mentioned a Barnett kit, is that a real thing and does it work. Cheers.

I went with 20W50, balanced carbs and an idle c.1200rpm, with standard clutch.

Yep,
Just balance the carbs as Martin suggests, and the rattle will disappear.
I use Morgan Carb Tune for this, cheap and easy.

Good luck
