If your book is for the six speed, driveshaft model as sold in Canada, you're good to go. I may ask for a couple of pages myself. There may be more than the obvious differences. I suspect they differ in some systems because of emissions standards. Do a nice job, I love 700's. What color ? # the

The bike is '84 the book is also '84. I know that they are basically the same, I just want to know what the differences in the two bikes are (besides the obvious differences in displacement). I shouldn't have to tear into the engine, I'll eventually have to work on the forks, carbs, brakes etc.

Yeah, they can be messy in there. Yes, oil gets in from the other end. Wash it out and it'll be back. Mixed with the carbon from the brushes and it gets quite icky. The parts are correct. Brushes are on 6 and 3. I just did mine at 21k this spring. Washed in a solvent sink at work. Use whatever.

What year CB750 is the book for ? The CB700sc runs concurrent with CB750sc. Later model 750's are not similar enough for the restoration project. 84~86 only. --- On Thu, 9/24/09, jdremodels wrote: From: jdremodels Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] '84 cb 700 repair manual To: "Nighthawk Motorcycle

I pulled my starter motor off my CB700SC this afternoon and had a look into the brushes compartment.Gakk - what a mess. Carbon and oil and some years make a messy combination. It looks to me like one of the brushes reached its end and basically disintegrated. The wire that would have be

I recently got a '84 cb700 nighthawk that I am beginning a restoration on. I have a repair manual but it is for the cb750. I understand the 700 is the U.S. model. I just want to know if the info in the book will work for my 700 or if there are major differences. I assume the bikes are basicall

I was going to ask how you liked the Corbin, but your "hard as a rock" comment pretty much answered that. I guess it's true those who have 'em either love or hate 'em. I have a sheepskin buttpad on my stock seat you might want to consider. It's from Alaska Leather and makes the ride more tolera
