1970 CB750 Operators Manual wanted; even a copy!
« on: May 29, 2006, 07:44:53 PM »
These must be really rare, I will pay anyone to copy theirs and send it to me so I can at least have the information available.
Thanks!

Also would love to have a parts manual.

Thanks, those are all in Italian (I opened the closest to my bike pdf).

Any English sources??

Also my bike is a 1970 CB750.  Not a K1, not a K0.

Thanks, Still Looking!

I have a 550, and found one or two of the Honda4fun items in Italian also, but most of it was in English.  Oh well.

We have any shop manuals available for the bastard child CB650?

I would love to know how to rebuild my front forks... All Clymer and Haynes say is, "Hah!  Mere mortal, go to the dealership.  Do not pass go.  Give them $200..."

Search in the FAQ's, there is a link to a page where all the pages of the parts manual are scanned.

Hi Dave,

I have the 1969 through 1971 parts list photocopied from my original.

Let me know if this is what you want...can supply at cost for you, about $30 US.....It's A4 size, double sided. Loose leaf but you can get it bound for minimal cost I'm sure...

Cheers...Mark

If anyone has copies of service manuals, parts guides, or owners manuals that are not online or where the online versions aren't particularly good, I am willing to scan and host them.  The only cavaet is that it can take me a while to do this if I'm doing the scans.  I have recently added CB650 owners manuals that were generously provided by forum member cb650.

Considering that American Honda has forced the reproduction decals company to stop selling them, could we get into trouble for sharing this manuals?

I have my owners manual scaned (copywrite 1973) for my 74 cb 750. The file size is 38.5 Meg.
It's not a mint copy.

...to scan and host them...

What's the preferred format for submission?  jpeg? pdf? xxx?  I have two high speed scanners at work (8-1/2x11 & 11x17), unfortunately I don't have anything to scan just yet.  :(  But I keep looking.  ;D

I will up anything he offers by 5 beers.  Good ones too.  If it is actually what I need.
:)

I still have not found the 1970 parts manual or the 1970 Operator's Manual anywhere online, scanned or otherwise yet.

I may take up tc's offer for the Parts Manual photocopies.  Someone in the UK also has that on CD on ebay, that might be easier to handle.

Thanks for the donation, cb!  Now where can I get my hands on them 650 manuals?  I've searched through the site for the last 30 minutes but I've come up empty handed...

Hi Dave,

On-line parts manual, do you want to run back and forth between your bike and your computer?  I really don't care if you buy a copy off me but the offer is there. There is a nice feeling about being able to perch yourself up at your work-bench with a beer and maybe a cigarette and flick through the pages..I made three copies off of my clean original and was going to put them up on eBay but haven't got around to it because the CD version is about $29.95 or something like that. Not worth my time.

My print quality is excellent, but like I said, I haven't bound it.
 
Have a think about it if you like.....Toy

Toycollector, I'm sorry if I'm spoiling your deal, but I found the parts manual for free on the internet, and I think it's fair if I spread the word so anybody can get it free too. I ended up buying a couple of original manuals out of eBay, but still, the internet scanned pages are good to print out and have on the bench. I never reuse them, and never put a grease fingerprint on my Honda manuals. Needless to say, it's been a long time since I downloaded the files and have them in my computer, just in case the page gets down or there is no connection.


So, here you go.

http://members.tripod.com/cb750K2/page1.html

Go to "parts manuals", and you will find each page scanned, up to CB750K2.



Best regards

Has anyone got a clean copy of the Service Manual and Parts Manual for the 750 F2/F3 Supersports?  I also would be willing to scan and burn to CD if it would get me a copy.

I downloaded these - cb750-k8-f3shop-manual.pdf (34.5MB) and cb750f2-parts-manual.pdf (3.7MB) some months ago... the page is still there at http://www.bheld.org/honda/ - now, the shop manual, I've discovered, is missing the section on the transmission so if you intend tearing into that this won't be much help... I've found it extremely useful otherwise  ;D

Both you last two I have the UK Dealers shop manual for the K7/F2 on CD (we never had a K8/F3 but i believe the only differences were cosmetic). Simply cant afford to give them away and too big to email and i ask an extortionate $10 to cover packaging, plastic case etc. plus airmail from UK

Hey Phil,  Thanks for the links, the shop manual looks good, but had you not noticed that the parts manual, while titled for the F2, is actually showing parts for the DOHC 750?  I think someone goofed.

Hi Orc. Ha! You're right! I'd not noticed!  :P Have never actually bothered to look through that parts manual as when it first loaded I noticed there were no parts numbers! So I've continued using the online parts fiche thinking I'd use that (parts manual) for detailed exploded views... IT is now consigned to the recycle bin!  ;D

bryanj - thanks for the offer - think the pdf shop manual is good enough for the moment, however should I need something better I'll keep you in mind. Thanks again!
