yeah, i've adjusted at both the handle grip and at the motor/trans. it doesn't seem to give me that proper amount of slack at the trans on the throwout arm. i'm thinking ill try with a new cable first before tearing into the clutch.

thats a bit of a relief. i bought it knowing it was going to be a project/learning experience anyway.

really??!? but before all this, i just chalked it up as it being related to the bike having sat for so long. long enough to where the tires had dry rot and flat spots. at any rate: i'm a car guy primarily, so there's still a lot for me to learn here yet.

dang, i was hoping that wasn't the case. the bike has around 6,800 miles on it. but when i was messing around with it, i noticed the vin on the engine/trans didn't match the one on the frame. so with that being said: your guess is as good as mine.

that was one of the reasons i went for the honda cb - was for ease of parts locating. good eye on the lowering blocks though. the ride doesn't feel too stiff for me. then again, i have no real basis for comparison. my wife wants me to take the msf course more than anyone. i've ridden it around...

i am definitely planning on taking motorcycle ed. but not till i get something i can ride and get comfortable with. good point about the lower insurance rates. that was something that i had not taken into account. the riding i have in mind is primarily cruising - city, country roads, and some...

this thread's picking up some momentum here. thanks for the input, guys! i have SOME experience on a bike. i'm 6'0", and about 150lbs, so i learned how to ride on a friend's suzuki 250 (not sure which model specifically), and my knees were nearly touching the handlebars on turns. i am in full...

i've been looking since there's still been snow on the ground. this will be my first bike ever.

hey guys, i'm brand new to the site but have been reading up on various forums to gather the information i need before i make my first bike purchase. but still, i have some questions before i pull the trigger. so here it goes: i'm set on getting a cb750, but am torn between the original sohc's...
