My dad has a 1985 Honda cb(not sure if 700 or 750)s that has not been serviced in a while so I will do it for him but one thing I need some help on is the rear brake. I have never worked on a shaft drive and could use some instructions on how to get to the brake pads to replace them. Also the how do I replace the oil filter? (sorry might be easy stuff but I usually work on old 2 strokes, Yamaha r5)
Oil filter is directly on front of engine. Unscrew the bolt and the filter assembly will come off. Pull the old filter out, slide the new one in, make sure to put a bit of oil on all the rubber seals, and tighten it back down to torque specs. Brakes are another thing, someone else will have to chime in.
... if so it is most likely a 700, the 750 shafty is kinda rare.
Brake pads or brake shoes? Brake pads is like any other rear caliper, brakes shoes you pull the axle and brake stay, pull the entire wheel to the right. It will fall out, smash your toe and drop the brake backing plate into your shin... Well, that's what usually happens. Regardless of the brand or model in question. Once everything is back together, pull the plug in the top area of the pumpkin, hold the bike upright (or cheat and set on the centerstand like you are supposed to) and add GL4 85W90 or similar gear oil until it touches the lower threads of the fill hole.
Everything else is like any other early 1970s and up inline 4 metric.
Ya it must be a 700. So I just take the brake thing off and the shaft out and pull the wheel to the right and it comes off? It seems to easy but yet it probably isn't even close cause nothing for me is that easy.
Do not touch the driveshaft. Period. No need to. Unhook the rod or cable from the arm on the drum. Unhook the flat bar from the drum to the swingarm. Remove the axle, give the wheel a hard tug to the right, and seriously, watch your toes, the hub weighs more than a complete disc brake wire wheel assembly off a Big Twin Harley. Once the wheel is out it is no different than any other Japanese rear drum.
