25:57 what is this device? Does it grind down the zylinder walls?

What type of mini speedometer and tack did you use on this bike and where could i buy one? Love the videos! You’re a life saver!

Of course it will RUN…! It’s a frickin’ Honda.

Nice. Real nice. And with one of the great old ones too. Thanks.

My CB550F has different jets and float valves.

I just picked up a 72 CB500 that’s been sitting for about 5 years. Can’t wait to use some of your tips to get mine going😊

👌🏼

Thank you for all the great information! Very well explained some extra details I didn’t know.

emulsion tube keeps falling out. problem?

Thank you for this amazing video,very calm and clear,a good teacher,im learning some of this,im usually scared to mess with them.😊😊😊😊😊

very , very bad idea to cut of this part of frame... of course the quality of your work is masterclass but i wouldnt do that...

Great one, tnx

The cylinders and head, piece of cake. But the gearbox, that's like looking at all the parts in an old mainspring watch. No thanks.

I got a 1983 Kawasaki csr650. I have a compression of 110 on number 1 and 100 on the rest. Do you think it’s possible to still run and drive or will I need to do a rebuild?

Pretty darn cool!!!

Just picked up my first bike, a 81’ cb650. These carbs look slightly different. Anyone know how similar they are to the ones in this video or if there’s a full in depth for those identical to mine?

Was the regulator oem? If not which one did you use? I'm thinking of switching my 78 kz400 over to a lithium battery.

Its ok if I joined the 3 grounds (stop and 2 indicator light) into one line to connect the led light?

what schroth belts did you get

Best video i have seen ,I thing ever,as long I remember.

Nats Nackers Yard, small motorcycle channel. His home paints are unbelievable. Well worth a watch.

You just described me to a team and what my purpose is for the most part only I’m gonna be using it on a trailer for camping. But this is exactly the video I was looking for. Thank you.

i like it !!!! thank you

How do you? Know you have the right rings without gapping them first without physically checking the gap which means you've got to clean the cylinders hone if necessary. And then insert the piston without the rings on it so that you can get the ring flat level and check the gap at the end of the rings. Each bike has its own specifications for that gap. Finally rebuild the engine..

Do you lacquer or clear coat parts that you paint such as wheels?

Hello there! First of all, thanks a lot for your video! Quick question, following this setup is it possible to start the bike without keys using the keyless start? I tried but it won't start -_-

Awesome job man. You’re a natural teacher. Would this be the exact same for a CB750?

It's not just the carb that is different between the CB77 and the CA77, the head and cam is different, as is the crankshaft, the CB77 crank is180deg and the is CA77 is 360deg. crank. A little side note, there was a factory production racer based on the CB77, the CR77 it had a DOCH head, and a 5 spd trans, both of which could be bolted to the stock 305 cylinders, when I went to the Honda motorcycle school in '68 or 69 they had sone of the 5 spd transmissions there bought one , and built a race bike using a Wisco 350 kit and that 5 spd, the result was a lot of fun up on Angeles crest hwy.

cool you got it running. But replacing them parts on a BM'er to get that one up to par is ASTRONOMICAL. I own a few. lol

I had a 71 450 for 17 years, I would hate to think the mileage I did on it, I think around the clock four times at least. Got porosity in the castings unfortunately but I did so many miles on it, would love another one.

The piles of acorns came in the 80s.

75 -77 or so was R60/6, then R65s

The valve covers tell you it’s 80s

How does the fuel gauge and sensors connect into the unit ?

I new rubber tensioner wheel is completely smooth. Yours has worn bumps in it. I don't know how you concluded it does not need replacing.

Why can't Yanks start a video without saying "what's up guys"? Rhetorical meaningless statement. Are you all sheep?

got mine today! will be using these videos alot.. wish me luck

Dude that was brilliant to watch and now makes the goldwing trike wiring so much easier thank you

Diese Motorräder, die Honda CB 72 und CB77, waren "Schuld" daran, das in den 60er und 70er Jahren, die englische Motorradindustrie in die Knie ging. Diese 250 und 305 ccm-Motoren waren in der Leistung so gut, wie die englischen 650er Motorräder, und dazu noch wesentlich zuverlässiger. Ich hatte 1969 eine Honda CB72. Bei KM-Stand 123000 habe ich sie verkauft und es kam eine "Honda CL 450 Scramler". Später gab es dann die Honda CB 750 K3. Die zuverlässigste Maschine aber war die CB72, ich denke noch Heute oft an die Zeit zurück

Dude you make it look so easy! I hope it goes as smooth for me on my 76’ CB550 I just bought. I should’ve paid more attention to the engine leaking and thinking that it was just something small. About to start this rebuild process this week… wish me luck!

14:50 There is a detail that you did not mentioned regarding the outer valve spring. There is an orientation for them, being the closer gap coil towards the head. Some service manuals does not mention that either. If the right orientation it's neglected, valve opening and closing timing, will be affected at high revs.

If your a newbie reupholstering , I will go to CJ pony parts video

Hello sir what is the best 2 in 1 muffler for a 1976 cb500 I do mot want it to be super load but a nice sound

Have you ever had an issue with the rectifier overloading or sizzling. Currently having that issue

Nice slick bike. If you dont have a valve lapping tool, or have a lot of valves to do: - mount the valve lap tool or suction cup in a drill. Clockwise a few turn, counter clockwise a few turns, SLOWLY. - Use a short piece of rubber tube in a drill, put rubber tube over top of valve stem. Same as above with the slow rotations, push on valve with greased rounded "soft" object (thumb, back of screwdriver etc) from combustion chamber side to apply slight pressure. Stay gold.

wow good job

Thank you for the excellent video! I'm 69 and build high performance motorcycles, also repair and restore. However, I can't paint worth a shit. I really enjoyed your video and hope I can repeat what you have shown all of us. My present mess is a 1976 Yamaha RD400. I just fired up the motor with an auxiliary gas tank and it's going to be a drag bike. So hopefully I can paint the fiberglass body kit and not be embarrassed. As most of us know, it's the motor that takes you over the finish line, but it's just not the same when you have a shity paint job! Again, thank you for your video. Maybe an old dog can learn new tricks. 🤬

Very good video/info on top end rebuild. Thx, new subscriber.

My FIL gave us his 78 kz750. I want to do the same build. But I literally know nothing about motorcycles.
