Robin, Because the eary 750's had a smaller rear sprocket, the number of linkts of the rear chain was 98 instead of 100 like the later models.
That explains why the adjusters show "wear". ____________________________________________ Ren� van Maanen HONDA SOHC/4 Specialist CB350F CB400F CB500F CB550 CB750 Reparatie, Restauratie, Onderhoud en Onderdelen Apeldoorn, Netherlands Mob: +31 (0)6 1484 6559 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Website> honda4.nl <http://honda4.nl> -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of robin wood Sent: zaterdag 30 augustus 2003 20:58 To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: Front sprocket 1970 750 I replaced my rear 48 tooth sprocket with a 45 tooth sprocket because the bike was revving a bit too high at highway speeds. It now works just fine. The only problem is that because I used a smaller rear sprocket I had to adjust the rear adjusters out all the way, and there's still just a little more slack in the chain than I'd like. I'm thinking of going back to the 48 tooth sprocket and replacing the stock 17 tooth front sprocket with an 18 tooth sprocket. Will it fit? Is there any reason I should not use an 18 tooth front sprocket in a l970 CB750K0? --Robin ===== ************************************************* Robin Wood [EMAIL PROTECTED] (for sohc/4 mailings) [EMAIL PROTECTED] (primary) SOHC/4 #121 1973 Honda CB350F 1970 Honda CB750K __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
