« on: March 27, 2007, 12:23:28 PM »
I've seen a 750 Hondamatic engine going cheap,tell me guys what fits the non auto besides the head and barrel. I'am looking for spares for our cr750.

Hi
I am no expert but my magazine articles of the day by the motorcylist mag did state that the engine is  a much lower tuned motor as i recall
so you may find that there are lots of differences but some parts may do.
i also recall that the comp/and cam are different

Thanks dave. I wondered if the crank was the same,it would be worth buying then.

Hello,
the crank should fit, but take a look at the bottom of this fanatastic site:

hanks Nippon, UI'am familiar with axels site but haven't read this part. Makes for interesting thoughts but we want to stay with 750cc for racing. Think we'll not buy a Hondamatic motor,keep looking for the real thing.

I thought the crank used a hy-vo chain instead of the roller chains on the "ordinary" 750's. Also I thought they were wet sump, which would mean major differences
