Hey there xjr! Welcome! First, go to our download section and you will be able to get the manual there. That should give you a start. After that, if you have more questions, shoot!

I saw a site that showed pictures of each of the bikes and the different colors but I haven't been able to locate it again.

Edit: I found the site with the pictures: http://www.spookytoms.com/CB750F-PaintColors.html

thanks rich and all the other guys very good links to other site,s very usefull i think mine is a us import it has a 85 mph speedo with a red line at 55 mph the comstar wheels are black its also has slotted disc and dual piston calipers ,front fender includes spoiler and it was made in 1981. Also got it running today would not run on number one cylinder so i cleaned the carbs still not running so i change the ht lead and its working

[xjr1300]

just got some new ht leads and new spark plug caps and a set of second hand carbs and a pair of coils for £40 at a bike show i went to at the weekend i think its a bargin . Hopefully this mite help me its running ok but when it get warm and i rev it up the revs won,t drop back down , i don,t think its a air leak sprayed wd40 all around when its running  and the revs don,t pick up only way when warm to drop the revs is to put it in gear and let the clutch out or turn it on and off. then they drop back to normal  I will try the new second hand carbs clean them first and check the main and primary jets are the same hopefully this will sort it out finger,s
