I got to make some popcorn and get ready for some 4 hours of knowledge!

Started watching it this morning. Excellent stuff, very informative although the wife is finding the video hard going.

although the wife is finding the video hard going.

Please explain? Issues with video playing or is an engine too technical for her?

Ha! Went home for lunch and kids were making a big bowl. Lots of butter!

While I think this is great and appreciate the effort it took, it would be more useful overall broken up into multiple videos.

I broke it down in 3 chapters:

1 Disassembly
2 Trans
3 Assembly

Maybe I am out of line so just tell me so. But, I think posting for a pay for video on an open forum such as this one that pretty much sets the gold standard for helping out other enthusiasts is inappropriate. That is of course unless you are contributing to the site. You look like a great guy Matt and I’m sure the video was alot of hard work. I am a small businesss owner and can appreciate your efforts. This forum exists on helping each other out and many members are strapped tight enough to get these bikes going. There are guys here that go above and beyond to do a solid for someone they have never met and who has only posted a handful of times on the site. I wish you well in your endeavors to have a motorcycling related internet business. If you are contributing to the site I say great job.

I wouldn't say it's a bad idea. I know for me, when I was a new member here, I heard multiple times to buy Hondaman's book; which I did and have no regrets.

I didn't read your bio, but I learned the hard way the last time I followed info from a youtube video. I guess with any info, it should be taken with a grain of salt.

It’s different when you promote somebody else’s product.

You have a valid point. I am self promoting. AFAIK, I haven't found any rules on this site that says I can't? If I missed it, then you can have this post deleted.

Making these videos is a way that I can help others, as well as helping my family of 6. I'm sure as a small business owner yourself, you know what I'm talking about.

This will be handy viewing!  Thanks.

Nothing wrong with self-promotion, but, in the interest of community well-being, perhaps you should also be a Site Sponsor. A small portion of proceeds or regular donation covers you, and this forum (and your perspective customers) can all benefit. See how easy and good that is

Agreed, who do I need to talk to?

I was referring to the hex size. 6mm thread.

You identify a bolt by the thread size and not the AF size

Just purchased the video , got it mainly for the transmission , Superb !!
 Really well filmed and easy to understand , money well spent , would have really struggled without this.

love videos like these- any similar for a 750? Hell, I’d love one on basic maintenance, I am of a visual learner.

Would be great to have a SOHC4 YouTube channel, or does one already exist?

Search for Hackaweek cb750 on YouTube. Dino, a member, makes great videos. His videos are fairly lengthy (which is good) and there’s no dedicated “maintenance” video, but what you ask is in a couple videos at least. Just have to find them.
