Topic: Slips in second

[ron.cieri.313]

Hi everyone I don't know what to all our topics???...but more importantly, my CB750 is slipping in second gear.  This ron from the splitting the cases rebuild...so my bike is a '76 HOnda CB750 and I've just rebuilt the tranny after splitting the cases...I need to be talked down off the ledge of my test drive...thx.

He Ron, sorry to hear your having some bad luck with the test.

How is it out there today for riding? I'm over in Dearborn Heights.

[ron.cieri.313]

Cold but dry...enjoy your ride...I'd tell you to come over but I'm leaving shortly...kinda bummed about this...everything is testing out great...we'll have to get toghter but I don't have any of my bikes riding properly except my Yamaha maxi scooter.

not sure if this will make you feel better or worse, but my buddy has had his 550 rebuilt professionally TWICE and it still slips

Mine's in pieces anyway. It won't be done til spring. We'll have to get together sometime when they're both together and running right.

Well thanks guys...sounds like no easy fixes out there...I'll mess around with the clutch maybe and work on my 450 for awhile.

[dave500]

is it clutch slip or jumping out of second?

[ron.cieri.313]

I think the latter...how do I tell the difference?

[dave500]

clutch slip is more of a smooth slip,gear jumping is jerky,if it was the clutch it would slip in all gears under hard accelleration,if its only second,it might have to come apart.

Man I feel for you.  Check out my CB175 thread over in the other bikes section.  No 3rd..

I guess there might be another alternative I missed on...shift mechanism...I might be "overshifting" if I didn't assemble the pins on the shift drum correct or some other shift assembly mistake...will let you u...thx.

I thought about that in my case as well.  I kind of figured if I could get 1st, 2nd, and even 4th the odds were pretty slim.  I may check that though just to be safe.  Let me know how you turn out...
