Something that might be interesting to investigate on the Honda since the mechanic complained that it did’t rev past 5 500... “back with an interesting result and to say these japs knew and know their stuff....

my bike came with a 75 jet in the carbs and the books i have say 102, so when the carb people built my carbs i asked them to put 102 jets in. 

the bike wouldn't rev past 5000rpm and after getting other people to ride it we all thought it was electrical blaming a crack across one of the coils , then blaming melting spark units., then blaming leads and caps, then blaming stop switch, then timing!! 

it was none of these and a lot of money wasted i changed everything spark units etc etc. it was no better. 

long story short after much trial and re trial i removed the side cover and left the air filter out. it took off like a rocket. 

i did some extensive research and found the bike i have is the 750FZ JDM model. 

i studied air boxes and found the intake at the back on my air box was smaller than the 750f's of European market. i have put the air filter back in but left the rectangular cover off that fastens at the end where the air filter is. when the side panel is in place it pulls the extra air needed for the 102 jets in around the edges. 

i may consider putting the 75's back in now i know why they were there in the first place. 

morale of my story is leave as standard unless you know your onions”

So, trying to change sprockets and chain on the CB. Did I forget the old chain at home? Sure did? Is there any other way to keep the shaft from rotating? That doesn't damage anything? Unsure.
