My barn find Honda CB750 FINALLY gets a new clutch to replace the slipping original! After getting this bike running and riding I have ridden it over 3,000 miles which have been awesome but....only at 90% throttle as the original clutch would occasionally slip in 3rd and 4th gear at wide open throttle. It would also slip on bumps while accelerating. This was of course not ideal but never bothered me that much as I could still enjoy the bike to its fullest ability. Now is the time to change the clutch though as I wish to get this bike on the dyno in an upcoming video!
For this I used factory springs available from Honda, Partzilla, CMSNL, etc. I also installed new seals on the clutch cover as well as the clutch cover gasket itself.

Well thank you!

@tonysargent1699 Месяц назад

Are you a motorcycle mechanic? Are you capable of modifying mechanical parts? The answer to both questions should tell you what you did to the clutch was "Mechanical Engineering" and fully acceptable. What did people do 50 years ago when parts were needed on the quick, ring a single supplier, order the part and have it delivered next day? NO, they did not! They modified what they had and got on with it! Sounds good to me! KOOOL!!!

I watched this one and thought " it's running really smooth" . I'd been following the series but couldn't remember whether or not you'd done a top end rebuild so I've just binge watched the complete series yet again. An amazing transformation from an ugly, neglected, siezed bike to a fully functional daily runner. The only re-occuring issue seems to be that some of your viewers claim to be able to do things better. Quite possible, so I suggest they take the time and energy to make videos and put them on RU-vid. We all like watching good vids. Until that happens I and many thousands will continue to watch your videos and enjoy the content.

Dear good guy, Don't let a few curmudgeons drive you crazy or ruin your mood, commenting on everything. They are not worth it and you don't have to defend yourself like that. From what I see (and I've seen a lot of you), you deliver craftsmanship and I would have no problem feeling safe on a bike that has been serviced by you. Greetings from the Netherlands

@BrickHouseBuilds Месяц назад

Much appreciated! I'm getting better at just ignoring most of the curmudgeons but this guy was throwing a temper tantrum lol

@leon0 Месяц назад

Now for a constructive comment. Patty is for patina. I get it. But rust is nobodies friend. It eats away at ferrous metals if left. So whilst the dents on your points cover are part of the history of this bike, it's patina, the rust on your clutch cover will likely worsen over time of left. How about just giving it 2 mins with a soft cloth and some metal polish to get rid of the rust there. There will still be patina staining and maybe some light pitting after but it will be stable that way. Best wishes ... 👍

@barryjackson123 Месяц назад

Great work. And awesome tip with that retainer plate going back in. It is a heart breaker to get to that one last little snug up to hear the snap. One thing I'm going to try next time as well is to paint mark the location so the orientation is the same as it is removed just in case there is a slight wear pattern that could cause a slight bit of binding.

@BrickHouseBuilds Месяц назад

Yeah I have seen so many people break the pressure plate because of this. Definitely sad

Me, I'm just a mean old 68 yr. old bastard that loves 750f bikes. Actually have ridden 3 of them. One was a '69 with nickel syncros. Couldn't tell much difference between it and my '73. But that was in '81 that I got it. The '69 also had some weight reduction on the alternator. Stock exhaust also. When I got my '73 it had 2x1 outswept open pipes. You couldn't sneak up on a dead man. Took me forever to get that bike back stock. God I loved those 1x1 pipes. I never did like loud pipes on cars either. Trying to get my '83 Magna legal. Already bought stock pipes for it. lol Worked on Jets in the Marines. 2nd Air Wing. El Toro. Never was sober back then. Maybe that's why they shut down the base. I like reading these comments picking on vets. Our pilots would rip off their heads and s--t down there necks for some of those comments. Go ahead and talk s--t kids. If you knew anything you wouldn't be spouting. Thanks for posting these videos. Gives us old farts something to do.

@leon0 Месяц назад

You know, people can claim what they like on the internet. Talk is cheap. You do, and show what you do. Not just talk. I respect that. My the way, an air balloon is also an aircraft. Maybe MrNoItAllGasBag NoNoNo did his training on one of those and now just has his ropes in a twist. Ignore him, listen to the people who have something constructive to say. Thank you for this channel. Leon

@GearHeadGeeks Месяц назад

Soaking the plates, probably extends the life by a 50 or 60 take offs. Why would anyone object to doing that to a wet clutch?? Also using an impact is the best way to save the screw heads. Although your #3 Vessel has a built in impact, at least mine does. Again, why would anyone object?? I like using the DA on the metals, good idea. Here is a tip, before you release the cable, remove the case screws, pull the clutch and a light tap on the case and it will release it evenly so you don't have to use the slide hammer. And cutting down that plate is perfectly fine, I would have done exactly that.

@@BrickHouseBuilds Very sad- a decade ago I bought a beautiful 1982 red CB 750 F with a 4 in one Cowley exhaust (South Africa) for a good price. It was standing for a long time when I bought it. And it leaked fuel from the carborettors, a stream. I don't have technical skills, and could not find anyone who could fix and sync the 4 carbs. Had to sell it again, without ever really enjoying it. You would have been the answer if we lived on the same continent. Years before I had a CB 400 N, and did many thousand happy miles on that bike.

@daveco1270 Месяц назад

Good info. Thanks for doing this job on video. I have 1975 CB750K as my daily rider. and will replace the clutch eventually. Mine has a really nice light clutch, and a very stiff but smooth throttle. Do you have to remove the basket and hub or could you just take off the pressure plate then remove and replace the clutch plates? (Which is how it works on the old Triumphs.) Also, I didn't see any oil come out when you removed the inner cover. Did you drain the bike before doing this job or is there just not a lot of oil in the clutch normally?

@BrickHouseBuilds Месяц назад

Thank ya. The basket does not have to be removed but since nothing is holding it in I prefer to just pull it out to clean and inspect. There really wasn't much of a chance of oil as these are dry sump bikes and I also had the bike strapped to the lift with a lean angle to the left to keep oil from flowing towards the clutch.

@colinhead284 Месяц назад

Here in England the CB650 was a bit of a rarity ( not the nighthawk ) The key and ignition barrel were so worn that while out on a ride the key jumped out , i didn't notice until i pulled up at my destination !! Stupidly i stuck my thumbnail in the ignition barrel and it would turn , so i thought if it turns off i can turn it back on . Err no , it wouldn't turn back on . i was lucky i was near a bike dealership near so i pushed it there , pleaded with the staff for help and they very kindly hot wired it to enable me to get home, when i got home i wasn't careful when i went to un wire it , touched the frame < have you ever heard a 30amp fuse blow ??

I would have used a file or grinder. But then when the ig key was so worn down by use on '99 SV -33,000 mi., I used a hammer and a punch on an anvil to spread the metal a schoch. I just wanted to ride, not take the front end apart. Ipso facto.

Honda clutches do seem to last a long time. My VTR clutch was fitted by Honda in 97 and has now done 70,000 miles, no slipping yet. Edit, I can see you use the same tank nav app as me!😂

how could it possibly matter whether they are soaked or not? I would soak them... because... I want the friction surface filled in with oil... I mean they are going to live in oil, but... it's not like if someone installs the clutch plates without soaking them... the clutch will fail.
