Member's Bikes / Wish I'd kept this one
« on: October 29, 2011, 03:11:03 pm »
I sold this for a CB900F, I know which one I'd rather still have!
The only one I've ever seen with twin front discs.

Mine also had oil from the breather hose onto the rear tyre. As a temporary measure I disconnected a breather at the top of the cylinder head and connected the oil breather hose on instead, at least then the oil was sent back into the engine. This was around 1978. I also met another CB750 owner a few years later stopped in a service station on the motorway in England with the same problem. He was stranded miles from home until we told him how we could swap the breather over allowing him to continue home.
Another problem I've never heard mentioned here which I believed was common to the CB750, was jumping out of 4th gear at high revs, apparently a problem with the gear selector drum?

Engine Mechanical / Jumping out of 4th gear
« on: March 21, 2010, 01:59:33 am »
Back in the days when I owned one of these bikes, under hard acceleration it would jump out of 4th gear into neutral resulting in the engine over revving and the lock nuts vibrating loose on the tappets. Apparently some years later, I read that this was caused by the gear selector drum being worn and was quite a common fault. I've never heard it mentioned on here though, I am the only one who experienced this? My bike did have around 50,000 miles on the clock by this time.

Published Material / Re: Repro "K0" Owner's Manual

Sorry fang and the thought is good but ya just canna reproduce a copyright work and publish for all and sundry on this site. There's rules and rules is rules billy bob.
I know the fella that had these copies done and whilst I'm not sure if he sought permission to do it (probability = unlikely) but we certainly don't want to go copying his work of someones else s work.
Steve has been able to get some repo handbooks let's just run with that for the time being

Are you sure? Copyright does not last forever and once information is regarded as being in the public domain there are no penalties for reproducing it. We are talking about very old material here.
