Just ordered mine. Thanks Hondaman!

Last week I became the proud owner of a 1978 CB750F3 that has sat for 12 years... fired right up, but surely needs work. I just ordered your book - can't wait to get it! Perusing this thread I noticed you are working on a supplement, or second book, that includes supersport specific information. Is this out already?

Thanks for sharing your knowledge Hondaman, I've read only good things about the book and can't wait to make my CB750 purr again!

Until I get the 'supplement' out, you'll probably have to ask specific questions of me or others here. It'll happen someday, probably during a/the Fall when things slow down for me around here?

Hey Mark,

Just ordered the book, thanks! Just moved to Arvada, Colorado too! I'd love to stop by sometime and have you take a look at my bike (and see yours!).

You might want to do it the other way around: the hardcover is specially bound to let it lay flat open from Page One. I did that because I got tired of the [prototype] paperback not laying open at all (like most paperbacks), finally breaking its backing when I flattened it open with a long 24mm wrench overnight. Then the pages got loose...like most paperbacks.

Thanks for getting them! I send back $1 (sometimes $2) from each one to support these forums.

Sorry about that! Lulu sends me 1 to 3 emails each month with their special offers, so I post them here as soon as I get them. They usually last a few days, but seem to come at least twice each month.

Any issues with the A4 size I notice it's slightly cheaper not sure why? On account of the mountain of free advise I see HM give on pretty much every question I've searched I can't imagine this book not being the best tool in the shop.

Out of curiosity is it recommended to pair this book with a Climer manual or is it pretty much standalone everything you need for basic service/tuning etc.

At last look, the A4 (European) version still has the 12 original typos in it that were in the first 98 books made (First printing copies). I have not been able to recall that manuscript to 'fix' them because they changed it on their server and my editor could not re-open it after that. They are decimal point errors in several places, and the first 2 Crankshaft Bearings entries are swapped in the crankshaft bearing section: the Yellow and Green shells' dimensions are switched.

The main thing, though (IMHO) is the hardcover has a Bible-style sewn cloth backing so it lays flat open from Page One. The paperbacks are like all paperbacks, losing pages if the spine gets cracked by folding it flat open. More than 97% of the ones sold have been the hard cover version.

Thanks for the info I just placed my order can't wait to get it in my hands!

I recieved my copy yesterday! I already read half of it. I'm about a week out on reassembly on my 75.
Great book. I did find a decimal typo on breathing clearance that spooked me. I had to double check my plastiguage measurement.

There's still another typo!?
Where is it? (Page number?). I can still pull back one or two of the manuscripts (I think) to fix these things. The one for Europe, not so lucky. They changed that one into something I can't re-edit after it went overseas.

750K5 · « **Reply #446 on:** February 21, 2020, 07:53:40 AM »

I could be mistaken! In looking at page IC-4 the plastigage reference should be 0.056mm. This spooked me at first I thought I misread the manual. The inch reference is correct. I measured my bearing clearances at 0.0015mm and they look clean and smooth so I'm planning to run them. Hope this helps if you hadn't already noticed this.

Is there a CB500 book available or in the works?

I started on it last winter and a local rider was supposed to bring me his CB500-4 for me to tear down and rebuild over this winter for the pictures. But he sold the bike instead, even though I was going to do it for free to get the pictures.(!) So, that book is now behind [my] schedule while I try to find another 500 or 550 to use for the work and pictures.
