I hate to think of all these old bikes and parts going to scrap metal , I hope they just shut the doors and leave it all for someone to discover in 50 years 👍

Hi I have a question on wiring the electronics. Can I wire everything without a stator rotor? What use does the stator rotor do with this electrical circuit? I have a 1981 Honda gl500 I want to tidy up the old wiring.

Early CB750’s also didn’t steer - or stop very well - either. And in the rain, no matter how much you got it right in the dry, the ignition was sketchy for sure. The headlight nacelle spaghetti was where to go first or second, but the upper frame mounted electrical components were fussy too sometimes. They still didn’t suck though. They were amazing in their time. IMO. I rode a bought-new 1975 CB750 to work 12 months a year in New England for nearly 6 years and car levels of mileage. It was a nearly human friendship. So many things were mysterious, left unsaid. And the bike could act sort of spiteful and selfish if neglected even a little. Loose connections, main fuse blowups, were the usual culprits. But in every pinch she brought me home somehow. I sold the bike, very clean and tight, for a reasonable return on investment when I decided to get a new bike before riding across the country to move to California for another 5 years of live and learn. That bike was also a Honda, different model, generation, and story. Another rock-solid bike and it didn’t suck too. But first and second gen CB750s were something different than anything ever and changed everything. Now I am pretty old and mostly like Moto Guzzi. They are wonderful and make very little sense in some ways, but don’t suck either.

Yup, they just sometimes suck when they present random problems out of nowhere

If the piston is binding on the disc can it be levered back in
@BrickHouseBuildsКүн бұрын
I guess that depends on how bound it is
@vincentmckenna1755Күн бұрын
@BrickHouseBuilds the wheel does go round but binding a bit
@BrickHouseBuildsКүн бұрын
If you feel the piston is binding it's just a safety precaution to disassemble and clean. Your life is worth more than saving a few bucks

I would like to say that a title is important to ensure that vehicles are not stolen, but that is not what is going on anymore now it is being used so people are forced to buy new or newer vehicles. So we need to communicate with our representatives so come up with a 21 century answer to this question.

Pre soak works great , you can also install dry and run the bike 15 min at idle with the clutch lever in , at first start after clutch instal Just a tip from a motorcycle mecanic 😊
