Hi, I am in the process of restoring a 78 CB750 Super Sport, the last SOHC model of the 750 fours. The bike sat in a barn for about 20+ years but was in good condition. I completely rebuilt the carbs: tore them apart, did ultrasonic cleaning on every carb body and parts and rebuild everything...

Hey guys, So I got a 1988 FZR 1000 Genesis, when I got it, it wasn't starting "normally", ignition, etc. works, but in order to start it, you have to short circuit the starter solenoid with a screwdriver, because the start button has no effect. The start button does work! because when pressing...

Hey! Figured I'd start a thread for my CX500 build project as this is the biggest project I'm doing so far and just worked for one whole week on the bike. This project will be based on BBCR engenering bober monoshock conversion kit, but I might end up building 2 seat so I can quickly change...

Hi! I have picked up a while ago a CB 360 that was running but with many problems: sometimes running on 1 cylinder at idle, severy misfiring when riding, stalling when hot and couldn't restart etc. I suspected of both fuel and ignition problems, so I did a lot of work on it : - Ultrasonic...
