For Classic Japanese Motorcycle Enthusiast. Follow along for detailed, clearly lit video of routine and advanced level maintenance on some beloved classics such as the CB750 Four, the CB 400f, the CL450 and the GL1100. And that fancy orange cafe racer in the tittle photo. And watch them hit the road. Sportingly. Thanks for checking in with The Seasoned Rider.
Honda CB 750 valve lash adjustment
In this video the Classic Honda CB 750 top end rebuild continues. The camshaft is installed and all the nuts and bolts are correctly torqued down. The last thing left before the valve cover gets bolted on is a valve tappet clearance check. Seems pretty straightforward. Is it though?

In this video we will see the repair and re-thread of one last nut on the top end of the 1972 Honda CB 750 Four. Indulge me as I rummage through the parts bins looking for a suitable replacement. This is a classic example of the ups and downs that an amateur enthusiast experiences in an engine rebuild. Persistence is the word of the day. As we will see, some basic tools like a tap and die set, ...
Cruising the beaches to The Nutty Company
Просмотров 2314 дней назад
Come along for a ride by the beaches of West Haven and Milford, Connecticut. It’s overcast and gray but not as chilly as it looks. The classic Honda GL 1100 is as suitable for a sedate ride past the shores of Long Island Sound as it is roaring over the Quinnipiac River on I-95. However there is an errand to run. The CB 750 needs some special bolts and The Nutty Company, on Seemans Lane in the c...
Honda CB 750 Oil Pump Installation
Просмотров 9321 день назад
In this video we will see the trials and tribulations of working on a 42 year old motorcycle. During the installation of the oil pump, which was removed to clean the one way check valves, a bolt was stripped and needed to be re-threaded. All was made right and the pump was fastened securely in place. With the oil pan bolted in on, this classic Honda is one step closer to winding its way through...

Acres of Vintage Japanese Iron
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.Месяц назад
It was a perfect late summer New England day. There were acres of parts and rolling chassis’ just waiting for a second chance to hit the road. But alas, we can’t save them all. Maybe next year I’ll bring the trailer. Can we have too many projects waiting in the wings? I think not. #classicbikes #motorcyclerestoration #cbx #goldwing #motorcycleshow
And over the river
Просмотров 22Месяц назад
Enjoy a late summer ride through a New Hampshire National Forest. The 1982 Gold Wing is in the zone. It’s perfect for these long sweepers. The close ratio 5 speed gearbox requires no shifting and no braking. Gentle throttle control wins the day with its steady pace. The quiet, horizontally opposed, flat four mill provides plenty of power without disturbing man nor beast. Both are the only poten...

Epic Ride Down Mount Washington
Просмотров 34Месяц назад
This is video of a ride down the Mount Washington Auto Road on a beautiful but windy day. My ‘82 Honda Gold Wing performed flawlessly as usual. It’s a challenging and technical ride that is very exciting for the rider and viewer. The GoPro captured the steep descent and twisty curves all the way down. Please, sit back and enjoy the ride. Thanks for watching The Seasoned Rider. #hondamotorcycles...

CB750 block removal and tensioner replacement
It looks like I did an accidental copyright infringement when I attached Autumn Leaves by guitar virtuoso Joe Pass. I’m trying to undo it now.
Nice to see it opened up, but I never had a moment's trouble setting the valves on my 1970 model with just the caps off. I bought the bike new and never had a problem with the engine except for one cylinder that ran rich enough to make the spark plug insulator noticeably darker than the others. It did not affect the performance or drivability of the engine, but it bugged me. I vacuum synchronized the carbs and set the idle mixture several times but the problem persisted, so I finally pulled off the carburetor set and pulled the slide out of the offending carb, which was the early model with the individual cable to each carb. The problem turned out to be a misdrilled idle port at the bottom of the carb bore, apparently caused by a broken drill bit during manufacture. Don't know how Honda missed it in inspection, but there it was. Rather than replace the carburetor body, I drilled and tapped the port to take an 8-32 brass insert and then drilled the insert with the appropriate number drill to replicate the jet size as close as I could measure it. I think it was about a #56 drill, but that was a long time ago. It ran fine and I sold it when the kids came along, but of course I envy you having one to ride today.
Nice investigative finding on the idle port. Wow. With the engine in the frame the valve clearance check was always straight forward to me but I did a total valve job and when I put it back together I got completely confused. In the next video (part 26?) finally get it right.
my bike was produced in 1992 also. is titled 1993, word on facebook groups and forums is no one has seen a titled or regestered 1992. i have never seen one for sale listed as 1992 in the usa. you would be the fist . you sure you got a 1992 title and regestration.
I FEEL VERY CONFIDENT AFTER WATCHING HIS VIDEO YA RIGHT
Thanks for watching The Seasoned Rider. A motorcycle entertainment channel.
Well he wrong on 93 being the only year for the zepher.iown a92 1100
That is actually incorrect. 5 years production. 78-79 were naked, 80-82 were sport touring with fairings though in 80 they still sold the naked version. In 1981, Honda repositioned the CBX into the sport touring category with the CBX-B, detuning the engine to 98 hp (73 kW) and adding Pro-Link monoshock rear suspension, air-adjustable 39 mm front forks, a fairing and optional panniers with a stronger frame to support these additions. The CBX was given ventilated dual front brake discs due to the increased weight. The 1982 model CBX-C model differed little from the 1981 model, having only some changes to paint and trim. The Pre- 80's models are the most desirable unless you can restore the power band to pre-81 105 hp ratings. Even so, this model never realized its full potential as a superbike but the exhaust note was one of a kind. True music to the ears. (The problem with this bike was the 39 mm front forks were woefully inadequate for the bike's weight and handling. It put the bike into a category that no one wants to be in, under equipped suspension. )
That’s some great detail. Thanks for sharing.
Can't beat a big Z
Congrats!
It’s less confusing to say…. Push left go left…… Push right go right.
Absolutely!…..”Pull” adds unnecessary and dangerous confusion.
Thanks for the memories!
Interesting history on that sandcast. Nice looking bike. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it
3:50 "sprocket lined up"? How do you know the cam is timed correctly? Is sprocket in just a random orientation and then you rotate the cam to get the sprocket to bolt to the cam? The timing will be wrong.
The cam was always on it’s marks with the key Chuck at the 12 o’clock, the horizontal lines on the cam ends aligned with the cam cap half’s and the timing mark on T1 or 1 and 4.
Eventually I do get it together.
Nice bike, looks like mine! we chatted up at Brit Jam, see you down the road!
In 1973 I was a Honda certified trained technician. I used to pull these engines out in 20 minutes by myself. Now I'm 70 and can't lift 70 pounds. My all time goat bike.
Hey Petey, What would you say was the most common reason to pull these engines back then?
Here is an on a Zx-7 that’s got the better of me.
I had an original Honda manual, it suggested to lay the bike over on its side and lift the chassis of the motor with an engine hoist, this is how I do it, saves my back trying to lift out side ways
That’s a great way to do it. Thanks for watching.

The various CL450s were always my favorite Hondas when I was growing up in the '60s and '70s. Great looking bikes !
Awsome so cool, the good ol days😊
That’s like a ride into my past! Forgot how beautiful it is there.
Are you going to change the timing belts?
The belts and pulleys were fresh when the leak developed.
Hey...Is that my red and white William and Sonoma kitchen towel? What the Heck!?
What? Noooooo
This is so great! Informative and fun!
Thanks so much!

I got a lower pair. More Euro style.
Loved your comments about the artistry in restoring. Congratulations on a great website.
Great videos! Keep em comin’!
Interesting. I used to own both of those bikes. Good luck!
Very cool!
For a correct exact engine paint match to OEM Honda Cloud Silver, use Dupli-Color Caliper Silver (BCP 103), which is a high temperature 500 degree paint.
I had a1975, 740 four. Great bike.
Agreed. Thanks for watching.
Polishing definitely looking a lot better good job. 🇬🇧
Thanks for watching.
