Hi gang,
I was searching for information on my '80 CB750K and came across this forum! I'm looking for any input as I am somewhat new to the repair of motorcycles. I bought this bike a few months ago from someone who was using it as a daily driver. It sat over the winter, stored properly as far as I know. It was riding fine for its first three rides, although I knew it had issues when I got it because during idle it makes a clunkity-clunk noise.
During this last ride the exceleration felt very rough and jerky, like it just wasn't picking up like it should. It started to backfire like crazy when up to speed. It eventually stalled out at a stop sign. We had to push it to start it as the battery was dead.
I'm thinking there is multiple issues with the bike, but it was bought as a project. I appriciate any input and please feel free to ask me questions about it so you can give clearer answers! Anything is appriciated. I was hoping to ride a few more times before summer ends. I was planning to take everything apart for a rebuild over the winter--but perhaps will have to do this sooner than later?
