Congrats Honda engineers
« on: May 18, 2010, 12:13:43 AM »
I'm a mechanic in real life and hate it when they make you pull the motor to change the starter or something like that.

I must say Honda did a really good job designing these things.  I love how I can tear apart the top end in hours and take off and put back on the rear tire.  Granted there are a few things that could be changed but for 70's technology (well my bike is a 70's anyway) they were great.

My 79 CB650PZ is so much easier to work on than my sons late model CBR400RR. :D

I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!

I'm guessing you don't have a 750?

I must say.. other than the frame rails preventing topend removal.. the CB 750 is one of the easiest engines to work on..

 I have mentioned to many folks over the tears, that if they cant pull thier motor down to the main bearings without special tools, then theirs is more complicated than a Honda 4. You do need a tool to remove clutch... can be done without, but will ruin the nut after a while..

 very userfriendly motor...

I have a '72 CB500.  I keep forgetting that the 750 has a way different frame.
