Big day out on the 750 today, and I did about 120km non-stop on some country roads. The handling was OK but boy does it need new tyres, the front...
I owned two 700's and a 750, can't say there was a lot between them in terms of performance. on road AFAIK the only changes made were to to the...
I was "lucky" enough to have a self-removing liner in my 86...this is what fell out when I pulled the low fuel sender. Fortunately the liner is...
Hi Andy, I'd start by checking the idle speed is set right as I found my 99 to be pretty sensitive if the speed was too low, should be 1200 +/-100...
Yes those front indicators and the "cam gear train" fairing text most likely make this a JDM model. The instruments should also have a speed...
[ATTACH] Wrestled the 2nd hand stock pipes on today, probably timely as my old ones were starting to disintegrate, rust on the left side. This was...
That's what I thought from the auction pics. Truth is only the tank is in original paint, and that has a decent nutsack dent at the back. All the...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Thanks Waylander, that's not available here, so Evaporust is next. In other news I bought a new NGK plug cap, when disassembled...

Thanks DP. I am using the fuel tank (hard to road test with an IV bottle) and the bike has a a clear-shell inline filter before the pump, which...
Big day in the Mancave today as I pulled the carbs for a clean. Predictably found: 2 partly blocked pilot jets One stuck float valve Crud and...
I am a recent convert to Evaporust so might give that a go first. I think the rust is mainly lower down in the tank so don't believe I need to...
Thanks for the advice and the helpful links. I work in the chemicals manufacturing business so have ready access to pretty much anything I might...
Thanks DP; what would you be doing to the tank?
Some progress forwards and back today; seem to have a carb problem after all the messing around, the bike starts and runs on the stand, then...
I had forgotten how skinny the bikes from the 80's are, but I agree that Honda got the style and proportions just about spot-on with these. For me...
You should see what I wear when I do the housework! I just spent a few hours checking over the valves and concluded that I don't really have good...
So just one month later than planned, my new old bike finally emerged from the back of the van. As expected it was pretty filthy and a little...
