Best Service Manual 1972 CB750 Four
« on: January 23, 2021, 06:17:50 PM »
Just picked it up. Probably won’t crack the case or gearbox open but all else is fair game.

Honda, Clymer, Cycleserve, other, or a combination of them?

Thanks,

Ken

  Welcome to the forum I've got a couple of old Clymers that are pretty useful and an official Honda shop manual also. Lots of guys would say to get member Hondaman's book also. A friend gave me a copy and its a good read. Hopefully you won't need one too much !
  Welcome to the forum and fun.  Eric

Howdy!

Good place to start is here: http://manuals.sohc4.net/cb750k/

Manuals & supplements, wiring diagrams, parts lists.

Honda genuine is best but is written for mechanics and ocasionally has dodgy translations. Problem is each new model had supplements to the original until K7/F2 which had a complete new manual.
I have them all on dvd, way to big to email and as i am in UK cant afford to say free but cover postage+a beer and i will post you one(has parts books as well)

Example, for correct oil capacity in fork later than K0, check the additions.
CB750 Shop manual + additional colored diagrams are really useful. Manual has diagrams too.

Hondaman's book really useful. Lots of good tips how to do and make it better.

Thanks all. I ordered the Honda genuine, Clymer, Haynes (because it was really cheap), and Hondaman's.
