Putting together a project bike, won't start. Started looking into the carburetors and noticed there isn't a piece between the 2 carbs like the other carbs on the bike. Is there supposed to be a tube here? 1980 cb750k.
So I was putting my tire on and I heard some snapping sounds coming from the bead everything was visibly intact but I'm worried I broke some of the Bands inside. Anything to worry about? It wasn't that loud it was more of a little pop and because it was the first time I ever put a tyre on I didn't realize it wasn't in the drop dead center
Would y'all buy this? Small hole in the engine block but apparently it runs well 😂😂😂

I was the poster who said their bike couldn’t go past 7k rpms. Here’s a video of it idling at lower speeds. Does this idle sound right? Is sounds like there’s a bit of a chop/ hesitation every once in a while and idk if that’s a symptom of anything that would cause my bike not to rev past 7k
I have a Honda CB 750KZ DOHC motorcycle which is running, but I can hear that the idle is a bit off. The air filter is stock as is the carburetor. However the carburetor is swapped from a CB750F, and the exhaust is not stock (previous owner installed some mufflers without a dB killer in).
When I turn the motorcycle on, it stays on for maybe a minute before it idles out. I know I can adjust the idle screws on each carburetor at the bottom. I'm also running without the vacuum port on as I was told it wasn't necessary as long as I remember to turn of the gas valve.
Did this fun little photoshoot with some friends a couple weeks ago!
Cruising the internet, I came across this exhaust configuration on a c b seven fifty k instead of doing a four into one.What are the pros and cons of copying this? I'm currently building a scrambler styled 1980 cb750k
I suspect it's a universal one
Do you guys think we will get 2025 version of a hornet 750? If yes when? Are there some leaks or informations about it or should i just buy 2024 version right now?
I got a 1981 cb750c and I love it, however it does NOT like anything past 7k rpms and I don’t know why. I jetted the secondary and main from 68/102 to 72/110 because it’s starting to get colder. However I’m not sure it’s the rejetting that’s the problem because it did this when it was the stock jets so I’m at a loss. I have stock airbox with 4-1 Mac headers and a 18” cone engine muffler, nothing else has been done to this bike to my information. I can’t find a leak in the boots with spray so I don’t think it’s that. What am I missing. I’m hoping ancient dad says something because he usually knows what’s up 😂
Picked up a 1984 nighthawk 650 this summer in fairly good shape. I had the clutch seize up a few weeks ago- lost some pressure in the line. I tried to bleed it but got an endless stream of air bubbles (I also checked the bleed valve and the threads seemed to be in great shape). Eventually, I got a good amount of pressure back in the line by using a vacuum bleeder, but the problem came back fairly quickly so I took it to a local mechanic. He said he disassembled both cylinders but could not find any bad seals, so he tried to bleed it. He wasn’t able to stop drawing air either, and recommended a rebuild of both cylinders.
I’m a little hesitant to go through with a rebuild if the cylinders seemed fine to begin with. Just wanted to know if anyone here had experience with a similar problem- I’ve spent hours on this to no avail. Are there any tricks I may be missing?
I have a hanging idle on my 1973 cb500 that just won’t go away. I’ve got a leak in my carb and tracked it down to the fuel t’s. I replaced the o rings and swapped out the fuel t’s entirely. Before I would spray carb cleaner in this area and the bike would die immediately. Now the rpms dip mildly on one side and noticeable more on the other. What are my next steps? I know the leak is coming from this area, I just don’t know what else I can do
Brought my battery inside after my first season and have begun trickle charging. How does my setup look? Any obvious flaws? Should i leave it constantly plugged in?
2012 cbr600rr, after riding for about 30m and accelerating the bike feels like it stutters higher in the rev range was wondering what the cause might be. Its done about 30,000kms from a used dealer but having seen some of the work the previous owner did im doubting much maintenance was done. Also looking in the fuel tank it looks a bit rusty, so that could be the cause either way im gonna need to clean that up coz ik thats not good for anything. But specifically do u guys thinks its rusty tank causing clogged fuel filter? Or spark plugs/coils? Any help appreciated thanks
Hi everyone!
I’m getting back into the thick of getting my new-to-me ‘78 CB550 up and running, and I’m having trouble getting it started.
Months ago it was running, albeit unreliably so I gave up for a bit as I just couldn’t get it to start when trying to dial in the jetting.
The other day, I drained the oil to fix a leaking sump and it started up again after reassembly without issue after that. Fast forward to a week later the bike just won’t start.
There’s been a really loud knocking noise, not rhythmic at all, when trying to start that I don’t know where it’s coming from.
Any help in diagnosing my issue would be greatly appreciated!
