So, I'm checking out my "free" CB750. Went to see if there's any metal in the filter, and while there isn't any metal. There isn't any filter spacer either. I have 2 questions, 1. Should I expect engine damage? 2. Where can I get one? I looked on Fleabay and couldn't find anything.

Whats the best way of removing that white, powdery, corrosion from aluminium? Ive got 1 that's really bad, the floats/needle wont move. Any help would greatly appreciated thanks.

Trying to figure out what to do about this bike. No paperwork. The last 3 owners didn't have paperwork on it either. It's seems to have a lot of workable parts. Started kinda messing with it today. I had a set of Norman Hyde's that wouldn't work on my 650, (air fork inlets in the way). So I...

I had a CB650 brat style, that I thought was done. So I sold it, thinking that I would soon get something newer, faster. But the wife thought money would be better spent on the house. Mind you, she probably wasn't wrong as our house was an absolute POS. And we are trying to sell it to move to a...

Well, my pos 650 got sold to a college kid in Seattle. I thought I wasn't done with it. But after riding, wrenching, wrecking, the same bike for 10 years. Then finally getting it to where it seemed to run decent and not leak oil. I Started riding it and realized it was time to move on. Oh well...

Do I need to change the oil after breaking in New clutch plates? Or do I just go with a normal service interval?

Is there a model of Honda that had Comstar rims with single front disc? Noticed a while back that my front rim isn't quite centered in my forks. Doesn't handle bad, just bugs the shit out of me. Any ideas? I just put new bearings and painted these not too long ago.

In the time that my bikes been busted, 3 major laws have passed in my state. The one that I like best is the one that says that I can run red lights if I have to wait a full green cycle.(If it's clear that is? :o)

650 posts, my bike is a 650. Just tryin to do something with my 650th post. Whatever. ;D

When is it gonna stop? I'm actually starting to feel bad for these people.

Putting new clutch springs in my CB650 and I'm wondering how much do I need to torque them? I've googled it up and all I can find is between 6-9 ft.lbs. if I try and torque them down the springs stack up before any actual readable torque happens. this doesn't seem right. It looks to me that the...

The wife and I were on our way to Seattle with our kids when we started talking about the age of our vehicles. The,"we are gonna need new cars soon" conversation. The wife thought I was closer to being due because the Subie is close to having 260,000 on the clock. I feel the Odessey is closer...

On the way to Wenatchee this afternoon I watched this rider with a large group,( betcha cant guess what brand of bike they were on) stop on a highway. Across the incoming traffic lane (ours). And park his fucking bagger there so the whole group could cross traffic w/o stopping. The wife had to...

Wouldn't it be nice to find a bike that when it stopped running, the PO just pushed it in the garage? My last two bikes were owned by people with great big arms, and no perceivable skillset. I mean they are nice enough people, just a little ham fisted. My step dad is a good example. Big dude...

Trying to get a headbolt out of my CB650. It's very stuck, I've tried heating the case and applying WD-40, then going to an impact driver. Now the head is trying to round off! I'm thinking the next step is drilling the head off, seeing if I can get the head and jugs off then taking a stud...

So, your bike doesn't have a kick start. The rear wheel is of a smaller diameter than the front. And horror of horrors, the back of the frame is NOT straight! What are you gonna do? I'm in the same situation myself. Done some stuff to it that I really liked. Never really loved the bike as a...

Here's my problem, I'm sittin in a motel room in the U district (Seattle), because a young man who's mom I went to school with needs a kidney. And I'm o positive. I may be concerned about nothing. I've done all the tests, and will have to wait a couple weeks to see if the compatibility tests...

Outside the front door now, I hope it lasts.

I found a TX 500 on craigslist for 150.00. It's a 74, looked up some reviews on them that said they weren't the greatest bikes Yamaha put out. Anybody got an opinion on these things? The add said it wasn't running but would kick over had seemed to have good compresion. Carbs look clean but need...
