Help in San Diego (professional or not)

gimgim

I am having a few issues with a '79 CB750K that I don't have the time/patience/knowledge to address.
If anybody in San Diego is available to help, please message me.
Thanks Smile

Bring it to Los Angeles and I will fix your bike.
You really need to stop posting about your DOHC Honda here and come over to the specific web site for your bike www.cb750c.com

Thanks for your offer, but 2 hr highway trip with a partially working bike is a bit too much.

I like it here because I can read about other bikes as well (thinking to get a 2 stroke triple).
In any case, I've tried to register to cb750c (same alias), but I didn't get the reply email to activate the account. How long does it take?

I saw it, thanks. I had to sign with another id/email, for some reason I didn't get the reply to activate the account when I signed with my usual one.

It sounds good. Engine removal won't be necessary (I hope Smile

).
Cylinder #1 is colder, even after riding for a while, and there is a clunking noise that I can't pinpoint (it comes and goes). Carbs need to be synch-d.
Let me know when you can make it, I am in Mira Mesa, right off I-15 (Mira Mesa Blvd).

"little 2 stroke death machine"?? Shocked

I thoroughly enjoy riding my 750cc triple-it has an exhaust note with character and is still fast & quick enough to put a bigass smile on my face, especially when it gets on the pipes and floats the front wheel while accelerating at a very rapid pace. I also love cleaning out the engine in front of white or light colored cars & SUV's, the teeny little oil spots smear real easy when their wipers get turned on. Twisted Evil

> they sound horrible and smell worse.

NO WAY.
Nothing is sweeter than the smell of the Castrol biolube and the sound of some expansion chambers.
And it's not true that they are not made anymore. Some CR Hondas, for example are 2 stroke.

?!?!?!
Last time I checked Italy was still in Europe and it was still following EU standards.

Castor oil is made from plants(castor bean plant), so it's environmentally friendly, kinda like bio-2-stroke oil........... Mr. Green

The stuff leaves a lot of deposits in a 2-stroke engine but has the best film strength out there of any 2-stroke oils, synthetic or otherwise. I even have a 2-stroke rotary mower just to piss off CA's pantywaisted state government. Thumbsdown

My 750 triple will also keep up with my carbureted CBX no problem. Twisted Evil

Ray really digs 2-strokes, he's just not used to the extra power is all. Laughing

Back on topic, did you get your bike figured out, gimgim? Keep us posted.
