Great job in putting this legendary motorcycle back on the road, where it deserves to be. Sounds really good too. The only upgrade I might make would be dumping the points in favour of electronic. More accurate, less to go wrong and nobody sees it. Really enjoyed the whole series and look forward to other projects. Good work!

@@BrickHouseBuilds Yep, absolutely,I totally get that. It's nice keeping everything original,,if it ain't broke..... Just great to see it up and running.

I've been working on my 1982 Honda CB750K that's been under a tarp for the past eleven years. 1st on the agenda was to empty fuel tank (left it on the bike). Used my Pennzoil fuel transfer pump. Carbs were run dry at shutdown which probably saved the carbs ! Filled tank with two quarts Marvel Mystery Oil and then topped tank with fresh fuel. Left tank sit several days. Emptied tank and filled with fresh fuel. New oil filter and oil plus new air filter. Start up time. Open fuel cocks. AMAZING.....engine fired up second crank ! Now that I know it runs it's time for cleaning, polishing, repainting miscellaneous items ( Rustoleum charcoal metallic). Currently painting with the metallic and plan to use Crystal Clear for final 2-3 coats. Next up......new levers, mirrors, hand grips, horns, headlight and headlight housing. Also adding Nilite LED lights. Should sparkle when I'm finished. JimInCincy

Totally love your videos. This one tugs my heart strings. I am a 69 year old Aussie, and I bought a brand new CB 750K2 in 1973 when I was 18 years old. I rode a lot of miles on it. From Mildura Victoria to Cairns Queensland when I was 19 (Google that, it was a long ride) plus heaps more. That Bike was like my first love. I am now an old man but still own 6 Motorbikes. Four BMW’s, one Triumph and my most recent purchase is a K8 Suzuki Bandit 1250 that I am having an absolute blast on riding Twisty roads. Keep up the great entertainment with your videos and you will keep this old man happy.

Great video! It just goes to show how tough these SOHC engines really are, and I always liked the mechanical aspect of setting the valves & cam chain, & synching the carbs(wait'll you do your CBX carbs!)to get it all dialed in and running bitchen! We all have made mistakes in the process of doing adjustments, recall lighting off my fresh 1270cc CBX engine with a lot of expensive parts in it and it was running on 4 holes, turned out to be valve clearances, reshimmed and vroom! Rocketship. If you think it has trouble with cylinder bores, do an 836 kit on it, really wakes up these bikes. If you can find the '69-70 KO cam, that also works. Thanks for a lot of good info in this video, and ride safe! Enjoy!

I love your work. You are just like me, just doing something wrong and then do it the right way. Once abaout 15 years ago i disassembled my Honda CBX, 1980 years model. I did put everything apart and i mean everything. It took me 4 months to put it togehter again. Invited my friends for the start up off this 6 cyl machine and brag about my capability as a mechanic. My EGO took a real blow (a needed one). No power in the bike, catastrophy everone looked at me and start laughing. My at the time girlfriend took the party to the barbeque in the back and i started to do some thinking WHAT DID I DO WRONG. After a approx 30 minutes i noticed a kabel from the battery box was cut of. Due to not have adjustable stand to level the bike during the reassembling i simply cut all wires from the battery right off with the front assambly point to the frame under the tank. DON´T USE A JACK WHITOUT LOOKING. Bye the way we had a beautiful holliday in Norway that summer. Love from Sweden

Another hack to consider is lowering the ass end replace stock tire with a hog tire and rim you’ll have to replace the swing arm to accommodate the tire and rim. It gets rid of the large space between the tire and fender. While you are at it upgrade your sprockets and chain gives you better low end performance. Replace the exhaust with a high performance header or go back to stock if you can find any. Preferably from 1970- 750 cause you can remove the baffles at the end of the exhaust pipe leaving an unobstructed exhaust pipe, makes the bike sound like a formula car. Due to emission requirements Honda started putting two and three baffles in the exhaust pipes after 1970 reducing the performance drastically there’s only one baffle in the 1970s and it can easily be removed from the exhaust. I also trimmed the back fender 3or4 inches also the front fender at the top and bottom. I replaced handle bars with 4 inch pull back bars. Also found when I ran champion brand spark plugs the bikes performance was very improved over the factory NGK plugs however the champions didn’t last as long so I always carried a new set of plugs with me. Enjoy your bike it will give you great pleasure and reliability for years to come.

Agora sim... o motor melhorou 85%... O barulho que aparece no vídeo é da CORRENTE DE COMANDO. Você fez o ajuste e não melhorou, pois a moto provavelmente foi muito usada e o proprietário não sabia fazer as manutenções periódicas. Existem duas formas de trocar a corrente... Uma e abrindo todo o motor e a outra é utilizando uma ferramenta que tira um pino do elo da corrente, tanto da corrente nova como o da velha, emenda a nova na velha, gire o motor e quando a nova corrente aparecer, retire o pino e a corrente velha, coloque o pino novo, rebate a cabeça do pino e pronto, está instalada uma corrente de comando nova, sem precisar abrir o motor todo. No restante, mantenha a originalidade. A moto é antiga e deve apresentar as "cicatrizes da vida" nela. Abraço

About the cam chain tensioner adjustment: That plunger is almost never free. It is spring-loaded and should move in taking up the slack if you loosen the bolt. But most often it doesn't. What I do is put a stubby screwdriver into the back end of the plunger. You can feel whether it moves then. For good measure, I hold that stubby against the plunger while rotating the crank back and forth. Rotating backward puts the tension on the slack side, driving the plunger out. If it still doesn't move, undo the 3 bolts and remove it altogether and fix it. If it does move freely, rotate forward again till all the tension is on the front side of the chain, and then without pushing the plunger with the stubby, tighten the plunger bolt.

@@maxxcherry6955 thank ya! I will address the seat but I want it to look like it belongs there so we will see what I come up with

The cam chain alternately has tension on the front and rear runs once per turn of the crank, i.e for 180° each, as valves go over-centre and pull the chain in each direction - you need to make sure you lock the tensioner when the rear run is slack, easily visible if you watch the plunger (a mm or two) as you turn the crank. It's not catastrophic to get it wrong, but the chain will audibly rattle more if you do. I ran a 750F1 back in the 80's and for a while was puzzled why I could hear it after some of my service/tune-ups. BTW, I had no side panels on mine so I could reach down and feel the temperature of oil in the tank and was shocked to find the bike was massively over-cooling in the rain from the spray from the front tyre (barely warm to my bare hand, maybe 45°C / *115°F* ETA >> corrected to F/Fahrenheit), so in the winter (in the UK) I made a simple shield from a sheet of aluminium to cover the crank case (attached with six zip-ties to the frame rails so easily removed for filter changes).

The chain is adjusted correctly

The seat you can do a hack that looks sweet while keeping it stock and cheap. Remove the seat cover, remove some of the foam padding only where the driver sits leaving the passenger padding, put the cover back on, in your case you will have to replace the seat cover no big deal. It almost looked custom plus it lowers how you sit, gives lower center of gravity bit easier handling. The bike is a little top heavy at slow speeds
