I found one for my 1996 750 on eBay. You might try this guy. Send him a message seeing if he has one. He seams to have some other manuals around your bikes age and stuff - eBay item # 110394616991 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Honda-CB750-CB-750-Nighthawk-Factory-Service-Manual_W0QQcmdZViewIte

I crashed 1996 750 last summer at about 35 miles an hour. It smacked very hard on the right side. Bent the handle bars, front brake lever, foot pegs, rear brake lever, you get the picture. I have had to replace a lot of cosmetic stuff but that was 10,000 miles ago. Bike us running great and I'

My bike's been running a bit off for sometime now. A year ago, when I first got it, I took it into the local shop and asked them to change all the fluids, give it a tune-up and to balance the carburetor vacuums against each other. When I got it back, they told me that they'd found junk in my ca

Not a good idea to chrome something that absorbs/dissipates heat; better to paint it black.  Honda wrote a paper on the fact that black paint dissipates heat better than plain aluminum.  I have always painted my cylinders on a Beetle engine rebuild with thermal black, and plazma coated the inter

Yes, you do not need to remove the engine to remove the valve cover on a 700S. Just remove the tank and the coils and you're good to go. On May 23, 10:27 pm, Graham Rogers wrote: > Does anybody know whether it's the same for the NH700S? > > On May 23, 2009, at 11:16 PM, Minnesota Blue wrote: >
