TRIUMPH 650cc TWINS 1971-1973 OIL-IN-FRAME WORKSHOP MANUAL
210 pages and more than 220 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This publication is a reproduction of the January 1972 Triumph factory workshop manual part number 99-0947. This manual is applicable to all 650cc oil-in-frame UK, General Export and USA models including the T120R, TR6R, TR6C, T120RV, TR6RV and TR6CV manufactured between October 1970 and September 1973. It is generally accepted that 1971 through 1973 are the appropriate model years for the 650cc oil-in-frame machines. However, in September 1973 the Triumph employees barricaded the factory gates and began an 18 month 'sit in' effectively managing the company as a co-operative. During that 18 month period there were some T120RV models assembled and released. However, the remainder did not leave the factory until the 'sit-in' ended in 1975. Consequently, the actual production run for the T120RV can be considered to be from 1971 to 1975. While many of the mechanical components were shared with the earlier 650cc twins the introduction of the oil-in-frame models required the publication of a 'revised' factory workshop manual that covered both the new electrical and mechanical components and the five-speed models that were introduced in 1972. Consequently, owners of the late model 650cc machines are subjected to considerable confusion surrounding the appropriate selection of the multitude of originals and reprints of the various 650cc manuals that have recently flooded the marketplace. We encourage you to exercise caution when purchasing a manual for your motorcycle or automobile as many of the reprints found on internet websites are from 'bedroom sellers' at enticingly low prices by individuals that really have no idea what they are selling. Many are nothing more than poor quality comb-bound photocopies that are scanned and printed complete with greasy pages and thumbprints and, as such, are deceptively described as 'pre-owned', 'used' or even 'refurbished'. In addition, they are often advertised for the incorrect series and/or model years. While the oil-in-frame models are easily identified, owners of those models are encouraged to verify that the workshop manual is appropriate for their machine. A quick check of the engine number is the most accurate method.
PENTON - SACHS 1968-1975 BERKSHIRE & SIX DAY 100cc & 125cc WORKSHOP MANUALS
170 pages and more than 300 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This manual is a compilation of 6 publications. It includes the September 1974 workshop manual for the Penton 100cc 'Berkshire' and the 125cc 'Six Day' models plus three Penton illustrated parts lists for those same models. In addition, it also includes the 1969 Floyd Clymer 100cc and 125cc Sachs engines workshop manual plus an illustrated Sachs engine parts list.The off-road motorcycle revolution was at its peak by the mid 1960's and while the predominance of those motorcycles were imports, Maico, Hodaka, Bultaco, Husqvarna, Ducati (to name just a few) there were no USA manufacturers. This situation changed when entrepreneur John Penton struck a deal with KTM to produce a series of off-road motorcycles to his specification. This collaboration resulted in the birth of Penton motorcycles, namely the 100cc 'Berkshire' and the 125cc 'Six Day' models. Today, Penton motorcycles are highly sought after classics from the mid 1960's off-road revolution.There are few, if any, manuals that deal with the Penton-KTM-Sachs motorcycles and those that are available are lacking the detail required to repair, maintain and overhaul the Sachs engines. Floyd Clymer was the first to publish an 'in-depth' workshop manual for the 100cc and 125cc Sachs engines and it is included in this publicationThe combination of the Penton and Clymer manuals yields a comprehensive workshop manual and the inclusion of the illustrated parts list for both manufacturers will be a major assistance in the repair and/or restoration of the Penton 'Berkshire' and 'Six Day' models.Unfortunately, owners of these early Penton motorcycles are subjected to considerable confusion surrounding the appropriate selection of the multitude of originals and reprints of the various manuals and parts lists that have recently flooded the marketplace. We encourage you to exercise caution when purchasing a manual for your motorcycle or automobile as many of the reprints found on internet websites are from 'bedroom sellers' at enticingly low prices by individuals that really have no idea what they are selling. Many are nothing more than poor quality, comb-bound photocopies that are scanned and printed complete with greasy pages and thumbprints and, as such, are deceptively described as 'pre-owned', 'used' or even 'refurbished'.

BMW Motorcycles 1969-1973 R50/5 R60/5 R75/5 Workshop Manual
210 pages and more than 350 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This publication is a reproduction of the August 1969 BMW factory workshop manual part number 01 51 9 099 051. This manual is applicable to all 1969 through 1973 BMW R50/5 R60/5 and R75/5 motorcycles. At the time of Floyd's unexpected demise in 1970, there were a number of manuals that had been completed and were ready for publication. This BMW motorcycle manual is one of those previously unpublished, Floyd Clymer publications. Dated August 1969, this manual was obviously intended to be a 'follow up' from his previous 1967 BMW R50 & R26 series manual. The original 1969 'proof' copy that was included in the Floyd Clymer archives was likely finalized in early 1970. However, as the BMW /5 series of motorcycles remained in production through 1973, we are pleased to present a newly prepared edition of Floyd's work as a service to all BMW motorcycle enthusiasts worldwide.Unfortunately, owners of the 1969-1973 BMW /5 series models are subjected to considerable confusion surrounding the appropriate selection of the multitude of originals and reprints of the various manuals that have recently flooded the marketplace. We encourage you to exercise caution when purchasing a manual for your motorcycle or automobile as many of the reprints found on internet websites are from 'bedroom sellers' at enticingly low prices by individuals that really have no idea what they are selling.

TRIUMPH 750cc TWINS 1979-1983 WORKSHOP MANUAL
206 pages and more than 210 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This publication is a reproduction of the March 1984 second publication of the May 1982 Triumph factory workshop manual part number 99-7059. It also includes the May 1983 supplement 99-7089 for the 8-valve T140W-TSS. This manual is applicable to all 1979 to 1983 750cc UK, General Export and USA models including the T140E Bonneville, T140E/2 Bonneville, T140E/S Electro Bonneville, TR7 Tiger, TR7T Tiger Trail and the 650cc TR65 Thunderbird 650. The supplement extends the coverage to include the 8-valve 1982 to 1983 750cc TSS and TSX models. Obviously, this manual will also be of use to owners of the 1985-1988 T140 Devon Bonneville. Unfortunately, Triumph was in deep financial trouble by mid-1982 and it is obvious that they were doing everything they could to cut costs. Consequently, the print quality of these later Triumph factory manuals was somewhat compromised by the re-use of images and text from earlier manuals. This re-use is apparent in this manual, as the quality of the images and the density of the text varies within the page and/or from one page to another. While we have done our best to 'normalize' the print density there will still be variations that were just too difficult to correct. Yet another issue associated with the mounting financial problems was the apparent scramble to introduce new models or variants of existing models in order to encourage buyers. This resulted in a proliferation of model numbers, a list of some (but likely not all) of those variants is included below: 1979 T140E, TR7V, T140D1980 T140ES1981 T140PE, TR7T, TR65 (650cc), TS8-1, Royal Bonneville.1982 TSS, TSX, TR65T.1983 TSX8, TSX4, Thunderbird 600, Daytona 600. Consequently, owners of the 1979 to 1983 models are subjected to considerable confusion surrounding the appropriate selection of the multitude of originals and reprints of the various manuals that have recently flooded the marketplace. We encourage you to exercise caution when purchasing a manual for your motorcycle or automobile as many of the reprints found on internet websites are from 'bedroom sellers' at enticingly low prices by individuals that really have no idea what they are selling.

Chrysler Slant Six Engines
The photos in this edition are black and white.Use expert advice to rebuild your Slant Six engine to make it run like it did on the showroom floor - or modify it to perform even better.Author Doug Dutra walks you through every aspect of disassembly, evaluation, rebuild, and reassembly in an easy-to-read, step-by-step format. The book also covers modifications, showing how to squeeze the most out of your engine. The year 1960 was an important one in auto manufacturing; it was the year all of the Big Three unveiled entrants in a new class of car called the compact. Chrysler's offering, the Plymouth Valiant, was paired with its redesigned 6-cylinder engine entrant, the Slant Six, known by its nickname the "leaning tower of power." This engine powered the Valiants when they swept the top seven positions in the newly christened compact race that precluded the Daytona 500. With its legacy intact, Chrysler's Slant Six-powered Mopar automobiles were offered for decades to come in three displacement offerings (170, 198, 225). With millions of Slant Six engines built over the 30-plus years that the engine was produced, it's always a good idea to have this book handy, as you never know when the next "leaning tower of power" will find its way into your garage.
Motorcycles We Loved in the 1990s
The 1990s was the last 'golden era' of motorcycling in Britain - certainly for today's nostalgia-driven 50-something bikers. Ground-breaking sports bikes included the likes of Honda's original FireBlade, Yamaha's R1 and Ducati's iconic 916, with Britain's Carl 'Foggy' Fogarty taking the latter to glory in the new World Superbike championship. A new breed of 'hyperbike', led by Kawasaki's 178mph ZZ-R1100 then Honda's CBR1100XX Super Blackbird and Suzuki's Hayabusa, took performance higher than ever before. While it was also the decade that saw the return of historic British brand Triumph, Ducati's novel Monster 900, Honda's oval-pistoned NR750 and Yamaha's wacky hub-centre GTS1000. All of these and many, many more are remembered and celebrated in Phil West's fascinating book.

This manual takes the reader step by step through the fuel injection system and the retrofitting of a TPI system to a typical Chevy small block motor. Covers 1985 to 1992 TPI systems.
Triumph Motorcycles 1937-1961 Single Cylinder Workshop Manual - All Models 1937-1945 Plus Terrier & Tiger Cub 1953-1961
204 pages and more than 100 illustrations and charts, size 5.5 x 8.5 inches. Originally published under a similar title, this publication is a faithful reproduction of the A. St. J. Masters 1961 5th edition of the 1937-1961 Triumph Single Cylinder workshop manual published in the USA by Floyd Clymer under arrangement with the original publishers C. Arthur Pearson Ltd. of London UK.There are very few workshop manuals that deal with the early single-cylinder Triumph motorcycles. This is likely due to the fact that in 1945 at the end of WW2 when Triumph resumed production of their civilian line of motorcycles they discontinued the manufacture of single-cylinder machines. From that point onwards, they concentrated on their twin-cylinder models and it was not until 1952 that Triumph announced another single, the 150cc T15 Terrier.SINGLE CYLINDER - ALL MODELS 1937-1945: When this manual was originally published in 1949 its primary focus was on the 1937 to 1945 single cylinder motorcycles which included a war-surplus market that was well stocked with ex-military singles. Models covered are: 2H, 2HC, 3S, 3SE, 3SW, 3H, 3HW, 5S, 5SE, 5SW, 5H, 6S, T70, T80 & T90. The bulk of these machines were based on a design that dates back to 1934, which also makes this manual of use to owners of those earlier Triumph singles.TERRIER & TIGER CUB 1953-1961: Ultimately, the 1961 5th edition of this manual was revised and expanded to include the 1953-1961 Terrier and Tiger Cub models. The information included is appropriate for all T15, T20, T20C & T20S models fitted with an external distributor. The engine section includes the 1960 change to energy transfer ignition, plus the change at engine number 57617, when the split line between the main castings was moved to the center line of the cylinder.Many Triumph enthusiasts consider that the 'external distributor' Tiger Cub models brought the 'true' Triumph single cylinder line to a conclusion. This is further supported by the fact that the final workshop manual for the T15, T20, T20C & T20S published under the Triumph name was the August 1964 manual No.8 (part number 906/64) which only included the external distributor models. In addition, under BSA ownership, the Tiger Cub engine had previously been utilized as the basis for the 1959 BSA C15 and ultimately by the BSA 'Bantam Cub' series from 1966 onwards.Unfortunately, Triumph motorcycle owners are subjected to considerable confusion surrounding the appropriate selection from the multitude of originals and reprints of the various manuals that have recently flooded the online marketplace. We encourage you to exercise caution when purchasing a manual for your motorcycle or automobile as many of the reprints found on internet websites are from 'bedroom sellers' at enticingly low prices by individuals that really have no idea what they are selling. Many are nothing more than poor quality comb-bound photocopies that are scanned and printed complete with greasy pages and thumbprints and, as such, are deceptively described as 'pre-owned', 'used' or even 'refurbished'! In addition, they are often advertised for the incorrect series and/or model years.

TRIUMPH 1957-1963 UNIT-CONSTRUCTION 350cc & 500cc TWINS - FACTORY MANUAL No.4 UP TO ENGINE No.H29733
180 pages and more than 70 illustrations and charts, size 6.625 x 10.25 inches. This publication is a faithful reproduction of the Triumph Factory manual No.4 (Ref. 26/67) published in May 1967 for the 1957 to 1963 unit-construction 350cc and 500cc twins.The original publication states 'Up to Engine No.H29733' which would include the 350cc and 500cc unit-construction twins built between 1957 and 1963. In addition, this coverage is confirmed by the statement 'Up to and including 1963' printed to the bottom of the original front cover. However, Triumph also included a supplement for the T100SS, from engine No.H25252 (1962 onwards) and the T90, from engine No.H29733 (1963 onwards).This addition of a later model supplement can create confusion in the selection of an appropriate manual as some of the models covered by this earlier manual, remained in production up through the mid to late 1960's. However, Triumph owners should be guided by the statement 'Up to and including 1963' on the front cover and owners of Triumph models from engine No. H29733 (1963 onwards) are directed to the later manual ISBN 9781588502674, which actually picks up where this manual leaves off, and provides coverage for the 350cc and 500cc unit-construction twins from 1963 through 1974. THE VARIOUS 1957 to 1974 350cc & 500cc MANUALS EXPLAINED1957-1963 MODELS: The original small format (51/2' x 81/2") stapled booklet style manual No.4 (Ref. 26/67) that included coverage for the 350cc and 500cc unit-construction models from 1957 up to engine No.H29733 (1963), was ultimately superseded with the publication of a large format (81/2" x 11") 3-ring bound, manual part number 99-0843. The 99-0843 manual was somewhat of an oddball as it included a statement to the title page that it covered from engine No.H65573 (1969). Apparently, this publication was intended to cover the 1969 to 1971 models only, as a subsequent manual, issued in 1971, included data for the earlier models.1963-1971 MODELS: In August 1971, the 99-0843 manual was subsequently merged with manual number 99-0948 under part number 99-0843/0948 with backdated coverage from engine No.H29733 (1963). As the 99-0948 manual was published in August 1971 but coverage was retroactive to 1963, it is obvious that Triumph had compiled the data from the earlier manuals and merged them into a single 1963 to 1971 publication. 1963-1974 MODELS: The final version of this manual included a supplement 99-0950 that extended coverage through the 1974 model year. This supplement was merged with the previous 1971 publication and issued under part number 99-0843/0948/0950. The supplement was appended such that 'Section A' is followed by a 'Section AA' supplement, 'Section B' by a 'Section BB' supplement etc. etc. This manual both backdates and extends coverage and is the most comprehensive manual for the 1963 to 1974 series of 350cc and 500cc unit-construction twins. It is available under ISBN 9781588502674.
TRIUMPH 1945-1955 PRE-UNIT 650cc, 500cc & 350cc TWINS - FACTORY MANUAL No.11
212 pages and more than 85 illustrations and charts, size 6.625 x 10.25 inches. This publication is a faithful reproduction of the Triumph Factory Manual No.11 for the 1945 to 1955 pre-unit 650cc, 500cc and 350cc twins.This manual covers the rigid frame, sprung hub and swing-arm models constructed from 1945 through 1955, it also includes a supplement for the 1945-1951 Triumph 3T. Owners of these earlier models should be aware that when the later 1956 to 1962 continuation manual No.17 was published the data for the sprung hub and 3T models was deleted. Owners of the later 650cc and 500cc pre-unit models are directed to Triumph Factory Manual No.17 ISBN 9781588502872, which covers the September 1956 through August 1962 models. Owners of the unit-construction 650cc and 500cc twins from 1963 through 1970 require the Triumph Factory Manual ISBN 9781588502667.THE VARIOUS 1945 to 1970 650cc & 500cc MANUALS EXPLAINED1945-1962 PRE-UNIT MANUALS: The original small format (51/2' x 81/2") stapled booklet style Manual No.11 covered the 1945 to 1955 rigid frame, sprung hub and swing-arm twins and remained in print under part number 99-0836 (ISBN 9781588502865) through the mid 1960's. Manual No.11 was superseded by Manual No.17 (Ref. 800/62) which was ultimately reprinted (without modifications) under part number 99-0837 (ISBN 9781588502872). It includes coverage for the last of the pre-unit (swing-arm only) 650cc and 500cc models from September 1956 up to August 1962. 1963-1970 UNIT-CONSTRUCTION MANUALS: Manuals for these models commenced with the publication of a large format (81/2" x 11") 3-ring bound, manual part number 99-0883 that covered the 1963 (September 1962) through the 1968 unit-construction models. The 99-0883 manual was subsequently updated by the publication of part number 99-0889 which was unique to the 1969 and 1970 models. Ultimately, both of these manuals were merged under part number 99-0883/0889 (ISBN 9781588502667) as a single manual covering the 1963 through 1970 models. Unfortunately, owners of pre-1970 Triumph motorcycles are subjected to considerable confusion surrounding the appropriate selection from the multitude of originals and reprints of the various manuals that have recently flooded the online marketplace. We encourage you to exercise caution when purchasing a manual for your motorcycle or automobile as many of the reprints found on internet websites are from 'bedroom sellers' at enticingly low prices by individuals that really have no idea what they are selling. Many are nothing more than poor quality comb-bound photocopies that are scanned and printed complete with greasy pages and thumbprints and, as such, are deceptively described as 'pre-owned', 'used' or even 'refurbished'! In addition, they are often advertised for the incorrect series and/or model years.

ROYAL ENFIELD 1956-1966 250cc CRUSADER SERIES & 350cc ’NEW BULLET’ FACTORY WORKSHOP MANUAL & PARTS MANUAL
154 pages and more than 120 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This Workshop Manual is appropriate for the entire line of 1956 through 1966 Royal Enfield four and five speed 250cc single cylinder 'Crusader' series plus the 350cc 'New Bullet' model. It will also be of use to owners of the 250cc Enfield Indian 'Fire Arrow' and 'Hounds Arrow'.A compilation of three factory publications: (1) a reproduction of the original March 1968 printing of the Factory Workshop Manual for the 'Crusader' series which covers the 1956-1962 'Crusader', the 1958-1965 'Clipper', the 1959-1966 'Crusader Sports', the 1961-1963 'Crusader Super 5', the 1961-1963 'Trails', the 1962-1966 'Continental' and the 1963-1966 'New Bullet' 350cc. Also included is (2) a 1961 illustrated parts manual for the 'Crusader' series, plus (3) a 1962 illustrated parts supplement.350cc 'NEW BULLET' PRODUCTION DETAILS: First introduced in 1963, this 350cc model was based on the 'Crusader'. The 350cc engine can be identified by its 10 fin barrel as compared to the 8 fin barrel of the 250cc models however; it also featured revised internals, a strengthened gearbox and Clipper style forks and, in 1964, it received a new silencer and fuel tank. The knowledgeable historians appear to agree that production ran from January 1963 to August 1965 which makes 1966 as the final model year. However, due to a number of different reasons, production numbers are inconclusive, as it is a known fact that the engine and frame numbering procedure did not follow a consistent pattern and, at times, was somewhat random. Consequently, there is some disagreement on the total production with less than 250 units, the most commonly quoted number.Royal Enfield was very adept at utilizing components across their entire model line and this 'sharing' carried over into their workshop manuals. Consequently, many of the sections and illustrations are identified as being appropriate for various models and not necessarily specific to the particular model referenced in the manual title.

Mopeds, scooters, and other fuel-efficient automobiles
Petrol prices are higher currently than they have ever been. People are spending twice as much a gallon in many places as they did two years ago. Information that prices will only rise more is making the rounds in the news and online. Many customers are rather concerned about this because they are unsure of what to do. They most definitely cannot afford to keep only paying the advertised amount at the petrol pumps. Nevertheless, they are unable to give up their everyday activities that include using a car, such as travelling to work. More fuel-efficient cars are a smart strategy that more and more people are gravitating towards. These can use less petrol to get you where you need to go.
Honda 1972-1977 4-Cylinder Cb350f & Cb400f Workshop Manual
114 pages, and more than 340 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This Workshop Manual is a faithful reproduction of the original Honda Factory Manual for the CB350F and the CB400F four-cylinder models manufactured from 1972 through 1977. The original CB350F released in 1972 ultimately morphed into the 1975 CB400F and the original 'base' CB350F workshop manual was expanded, by the factory, to include a supplement for the CB400F model.Beginning in 1968 and extending through the 1975 model year, the common 'K' suffix often, but not always, changed on an annual basis. 'K0' or occasionally 'F0' was normally used to indicate the first model in the series with updated versions identified as either K or F 1, 2, 3, etc. While the alpha number designations continued in use outside the USA through 1978, in September 1973, American Honda adopted a year identifier within the model number - for example; a CB400F'76 would be a 1976 USA model but in most other countries, that same model would be identified as either a CB400K2 or CB400F1. Setting this potential for confusion aside, we can state that this manual covers the entire 1972 through 1977 range of 350cc and 400cc four-cylinder models.Finally, please note that the text in the original Honda Factory Workshop Manual was translated from Japanese into English. Consequently, some of the phrasing, grammar, punctuation and word usage may be subtly different from that commonly used in the English language. However the information, as presented, is readily understandable. In addition, while we have done our best to identify any anomalies, errors and incorrect spelling that may have occurred during the original translation process, we are certain that we will have missed one or two and we request your indulgence in ignoring them.

Harley-Davidson Performance Bagger
The first motorcycle that you can call a Bagger showed up in the show rooms in 1980.That new frame was longer, and the motor and transmission were mounted on rubber mounts. Those first Baggers came with Shovels, followed by Evos, but no one called those Performance Baggers. The Twin Cam motors came next, and they were definitely faster, but the phrase Performance Bagger still didn't come into use until the M8 came on the scene. This book brings you a detailed look at these new M-8 Baggers, and the Twin Cams that proceeded. The book includes interviews with people like Rick Ward and Bert Baker. Builders who spent a lifetime getting more horsepower and improving the drivetrain. For advice on brakes and suspension, we have information from the staff of Beringer and Ohlins. In addition to the techs and experts, the bulk of the pages are filled with pictures and the story of true Performance Baggers owned by regular riders - on Road Glide and Street Glide. Each of those stories cover the motors, the drivetrain and the chassis. Some went all the way with a 143 cubic inch M-8 with a blower, motors well over 200 horsepower. Other owners simply installed bigger jugs, ported heads, a good dyno run and settled for something like 140 or 150 horses. The same goes with the chassis: new shocks and replaced (or upgraded) fork assemblies. For brakes maybe they install new front rotors and retain the factory calipers or replace all the components. What they did or didn't do is a lesson to readers in all the possible modifications. Written by Timothy Remus with help with experienced builders and experienced owners, H-D Performance Bagger is a high-quality guide for anyone with a late model Bagger or plans to buy that new Bagger.
ROYAL ENFIELD 1952-1963 700cc METEOR700, SUPER METEOR & CONSTELLATION FACTORY WORKSHOP MANUALS
206 pages and more than 180 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This Workshop Manual is appropriate for the entire line of 1952 through 1963 Royal Enfield 700cc models. It will also be of use to owners of the 700cc USA (only) Interceptor and the Enfield Indian 700cc Apache, Trailblazer and Chief. A compilation of two factory manuals, it includes the original 1955 'Meteor 700' workshop manual for the 1952 to 1955 models and the later workshop manual for the 1955 to 1963 'Super Meteor' and 'Constellation'. PRODUCTION DETAILS: Due to a number of different reasons, there is some confusion surrounding production details, as it is a known fact that the engine and frame numbering procedure did not follow a consistent pattern and, at times, was somewhat random.As the 'Meteor 700' shared many of its mechanical components with the '500 Twin', the earlier manual is appropriate for both of these models. Royal Enfield was very adept at utilizing components across their entire model line and this 'sharing' carried over into their workshop manuals. Consequently, many of the sections and illustrations are identified as being appropriate for various models and not necessarily specific to the particular model referenced in the manual title. The second manual is much more specific to the 'Super Meteor' and 'Constellation' models and the only noticeable 'shared' pages are the carburetter settings table and the lighting, frame and special tools sections. In order to help identify the subtle differences between the various models, the reader is encouraged to review any of the appropriate sections in order to eliminate the possibility of referencing an incorrect 'shared' section.
NORTON 1945-1963 SINGLE CYLINDER S.V. & O.H.V. 16H, Big 4, 18, ES2, 19R, 19S, & 50 WORKSHOP MANUALS & ILLUSTRATED PARTS LISTS
302 pages, and more than 135 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This manual is a compilation of 7 Norton factory publications specific to the 1945-1963 single-cylinder S.V. and O.H.V. 16H, Big4, 18, ES2, 19R, 19S & 50 models.Workshop Manuals included are: (1) pages extracted from the 16H WD manual dealing with the maintenance and overhaul of girder forks as they are appropriate to the 1945-1946 models (2) a compilation of both the 1947 and 1956 16H, Big 4, 18 and ES2 workshop manuals for the S.V. and O.H.V. 'Road-holder' forks, spring frame (plunger) models (3) a 1956 manual for the O.H.V. swing-arm 19S, ES2 & 50 models and (4) pages extracted from the 1970 manual that are appropriate for the 1958-1963 ES2 & 50.Illustrated Parts Lists included are: (5) a 1948-1949 parts list for the 'Road-holder' forks, spring frame (plunger) 16H, Big4, 18 & ES2 (this parts list also includes the 1946-1949 30, 40, 30M & 40M) (6) a 1956 parts list for the swing-arm ES2, 19S & 50 and the rigid frame 19R and (7) a 1959 parts list for the ES2 &50 (this parts list also includes the 88 & 99 twins).A GUIDE TO THE POSTWAR 1945 THROUGH 1963 NORTON WORKSHOP MANUALS AND PARTS LISTS FOR THE SINGLE CYLINDER 16H, Big 4, 18, 19R, 19S, 50 & ES2.After the war ended in 1945, Norton resumed production of their civilian line of motorcycles and they also began publishing appropriate workshop manuals and parts lists. Unfortunately, there were numerous 'editions' of these publications and, while they identified the models they covered, the workshop manuals rarely identified the years they covered. Ultimately, this can lead to confusion regarding the selection of the appropriate publication for a particular year of Norton motorcycle.WORKSHOP MANUALS: Those published from 1945 up through 1960 were normally exclusive to a specific model. However, beginning in the 1960's, a series of workshop manuals were published that combined the data for both the single and twin cylinder models. Starting with part number P101, followed by P106 and finally P106/P this series of manuals was updated at various times through 1970, however, they continued to include the ES2 and 50 singles. When the 250cc Jubilee twin was introduced in 1958, the earlier 'P' series 'combination' workshop manuals were 'superseded' by the publication of a 1960-1970 factory 'Lightweight & Heavyweight Twins' manual, obviously, the single cylinder machines were no longer included. Owners of the single cylinder models may also find our 'Book of the Norton 1932-1947' (ISBN 9781588501288), 'Book of the Norton 1938-1956' (ISBN 9781588502063) and 'Book of the Norton 1955-1963' (ISBN 9781588501196) to be of interest.IMPORTANT NOTE: Many of the reprints found on internet websites are from 'bedroom sellers' at enticingly low prices by individuals that really have no idea what they are selling. Many are nothing more than poor quality comb bound photocopies that are scanned and published complete with greasy pages and thumbprints and, as such, are deceptively described as 'pre-owned'. In addition, they are often advertised for the incorrect series and/or model years of motorcycles. However, VelocePress.com has been publishing reprints of motorcycle and automobile manuals since 2003 and our publications have earned excellent reviews worldwide so you can be assured you are purchasing a quality product.
Norton 1949-1970 Dominator Workshop Manuals & Illustrated Parts Lists Model 7, 77, 88, 99, 650, Sports Specials, Manxman & Mercury
226 pages, and more than 90 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This manual is a compilation of 5 factory publications exclusive to the 500, 600 and 650cc Norton Dominator series that began with the introduction of the 500cc Model 7 in 1949 and ended with the 650cc Mercury in 1970.Workshop Manuals included are: (1) a 1949-1955 Model 7 workshop manual that includes the spring frame (plunger) rear suspension models. (2) a 1956-1970 workshop manual compiled from the appropriate pages extracted from the 1970 Norton factory workshop manual, part number P106/P, for the 88, 99, 650 and 'Sports Specials' - it is also appropriate for the 650cc Manxman and Mercury models.Illustrated Parts Lists included are: (3) a 1949-1950 parts list for the model 7 that includes spring frame (plunger) rear suspension. (4) a 1957 parts list for the 77, 88 & 99 and (5) a 1964 parts list for the 88SS, 650SS and the 650/99. However, as the 750cc machines ran concurrently with the final Dominator models, the Atlas and AMC variants are also included in this 1964 parts list.Please Note: The compilation workshop manual is specific to the Dominator series which ended in 1970. It does not include repair data for the 750cc Atlas or the AMC variants (see IMPORTANT NOTE Below). A GUIDE TO THE 1947 THROUGH 1970 NORTON WORKSHOP MANUALS AND PARTS LISTS FOR THE MODEL 7, 77, 88, 99, 650 AND VARIANTSAfter the war ended in 1945, Norton resumed production of their civilian line of motorcycles and they also began publishing appropriate workshop manuals and parts lists.

Ultimately, this can lead to confusion regarding the selection of an appropriate publication for a particular year of Norton motorcycle.
Honda Workshop Manual 1974-1977 Twin Cylinder 5 & 6 Speed Cb250, Cj250t, Cb360, Cl360, Cb360t & Cj360t
170 pages and more than 450 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This workshop manual is a compilation of 4 original Honda publications. It includes a reproduction of the original 250cc and 360cc twin cylinder 1974 factory workshop manual for both the disc brake and drum brake models, plus 3 factory supplements that cover both the 5 and 6 speed variants, which extends the coverage of the original manual through 1977. The models covered are: CB250, CJ250T, CB360, CL360, CB360T and CJ360T.Many of the earlier Honda motorcycle models were often introduced at different times and in different countries using different model names or designations. For example, the CB 250 was predominantly sold in the European market and not officially available in the USA. However, the 360cc models were available in both Europe and the USA.Unfortunately, this often leads to difficulty in selecting the correct workshop manual and owners of this series of 250cc and 360cc twins are subjected to considerable confusion surrounding the appropriate selection from the multitude of OEM publications that have recently flooded the on-line marketplace. This confusion is compounded by the fact that Honda used both 5 and 6 speed transmissions within the 1974 to 1977 production run of the 250/360 series. Owners of the 1968-1973 twin cylinder 5-speed 250cc and 350cc models are directed to our Honda factory workshop manual, ISBN 9781588502612. Owners of the 1961-1968 twin cylinder 250cc and 305cc C72 & C77 series will require our Honda factory workshop manual, ISBN 9781588500731.Finally, please note that the text in the original Honda Factory Workshop Manual was translated from Japanese into English. Consequently, some of the phrasing, grammar, punctuation and word usage may be subtly different from that commonly used in the English language. However the information, as presented, is readily understandable. In addition, while we have done our best to identify any anomalies, errors and incorrect spelling that may have occurred during the original translation process, we are certain that we will have missed one or two and we request your indulgence in ignoring them.
Iron Horse Cowgirls
Before Louise Scherbyn founded the Women's International Motorcycle Association, she was simply a working girl who loved motorcycling--at a time when women weren't allowed to wear pants, roads weren't hard-topped, and handlebars could come apart while riding. The hardest part? Auxiliaries she looked to for support each proved to be the wrong fit--some uncomfortably, disastrously so. All Louise wanted was for women riders to have a proper space of their own. For that she would ultimately have to forge a new path. This book tells the fascinating story of Scherbyn's journey in forming the first stand-alone women-only motorcycle association. Chapters cover 225,000 miles and two decades' worth of community-building, hostilities, physical and professional attacks, recovery, sisterhood and more. Scherbyn paved the way for women motorcyclists across the world while facing a storm of threats and uncertainties, driving ahead with newfound friends and her singular, unifying vision for women who ride.

Outlaw Machine
The legendary story of Harley-Davidson's rise to power--not only as an international industry leader but as an American cultural icon. How did the Harley-Davidson motorcycle, originally a machine for casual riders, evolve into a symbol of defiance and liberation? An embellished 1947 Life magazine article about a California town terrorized by gangs of motorcycle punks changed the world's perception of motorcycles from sporty machines to menaces-to-society, and as the loudest and heaviest bikes on the market, Harley-Davidsons were considered the baddest of them all. Outlaw Machine chronicles the fascinating social history that built Harley-Davidson's reputation--including the rise of Hell's Angels and the counterculture classic Easy Rider--and, more entrancing still, the bike's and its company's storybook rise to international fame and popularity. Written by renowned automotive journalist Brock Yates, Outlaw Machine is the definitive book on the Harley-Davidson and its place in American culture.

Honda 1971-1978 Workshop Manual 4-Cylinder Cb500, Cb550 & Cb550f Super Sport
194 pages, and more than 500 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This Workshop Manual is a compilation of various Honda Factory Manuals for the three variants of the 500cc and 550cc four-cylinder models manufactured from 1971 through 1978. The original CB500 released in 1971 ultimately morphed into the 1974 CB550 and the 1975 CB550F 'Super Sport'. The original 'base' 500cc manual was expanded, by the factory, to include the CB550 and subsequently updated with supplements for the later models. It covers the 1971-1973 K0, K1 & K2 CB500 the 1974-1978 CB550 K0, K1, K2 ('76), K3 ('77) & K4 ('78) and the 1975-1977 CB550F F0, F1 ('76) & F2 ('77). Beginning in 1968 and extending through the 1975 model year, the 'K' suffix often, but not always, changed on an annual basis. 'K0' was normally used to indicate the first model in the series with updated versions identified as K1, K2, K3 etc. While the 'K' number designations continued in use outside the USA through 1978, in September 1973, American Honda adopted a year identifier within the model number - for example; a CB550'76 would be a 1976 USA model but in most other countries, that same model would be identified as a CB550K2. Setting this potential for confusion aside, we can state that this manual covers the entire 1971 through 1978 range of 500cc and 550 cc four-cylinder models. After his visit to Japan in 1961, Floyd Clymer published 'The Complete Catalog of Japanese Motor Vehicles' (ISBN 9781588502209). Based on his experiences during that visit, Floyd also anticipated the need for repair manuals for those Japanese motorcycles that were just starting to be imported into the USA [Yamaha (1958), Honda (1959), Suzuki (1963)]. The predominance of the Floyd Clymer Japanese motorcycle manuals were either reprints or compilations of the factory publications which today makes them more desirable than the current aftermarket manuals.
Velocette - Mov - Mac - Mss 1933-1952 Rigid Frame Workshop Manual & Illustrated Parts Manual
196 pages and more than 83 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This publication is a reproduction of two original Velocette Factory Manuals, the October 1955 service manual, part number F50/7R and the March 1958 illustrated parts manual, part number F132/11R. The parts manual is invaluable as it details changes in construction by engine number and/or model year. The original 118-page factory service manual covers the 1933-1952 range of 250cc, 350cc and 500cc rigid frame models and both the 'Iron' Cylinder Head and 'Aluminum' Head machines. It includes the 1933-1948 MOV and the 1935-1948 MSS with Webb Girder Forks and the 1934-1952 MAC. The MAC models covered are the 1934-1948 with Webb Girder Forks, the 1948-1950 with 'Dowty' Oleomatic Forks and the 1951-1952 models with 'Veloce' Telescopic Forks. In addition, a reproduction of the factory 'Service and Maintenance' manual for Dowty forks is included. The original 68 page illustrated parts manual covers both the MOV and MAC models listed above. It also includes diagrams and parts listings for the Webb, Dowty and Velocette forks. The 350cc MAC is possibly the most popular Velocette model ever built. It evolved from the 250cc MOV by lengthening the stroke of the MOV crankshaft from 68.25 to 96 mm. From 1933-1939 the MAC was constructed with a rigid frame fitted with Webb girder forks. From 1940-1941 a version of the MAC was the basis for the company's World War II military motorcycles. The Military models were MDD and MAF (Factory Dispatch Records state 1320 were produced). In 1946, after the war, MAC civilian production restarted, and in 1948 the MAC's Webb girder forks were replaced with innovative air-sprung oil dampened 'Dowty Oleomatic' forks. In 1951, the Dowty forks were replaced by Veloce 'telescopic forks', with coil springs and oil damping. In June of that same year the engine was upgraded to an aluminum barrel and head with wider fins to improve cooling. For 1953, the MAC was updated with fully adjustable rear swinging arm suspension and a tube frame. Production of the rigid frame MAC ended in 1952 swing arm production ended in 1960. Based on the factory part numbers there were approximately 20 service and parts manuals published during the 20-year production run of the rigid frame machines. However, the print quality of the later factory manuals was not the best, as the same pages or sections from earlier publications were re-printed multiple times as the newer manuals were published. Unfortunately, this created problems in print quality and print density in those later manuals resulting in both light and heavy print on the same page. While we have done our best to correct as many of those imperfections as possible there are some occurrences that just could not be corrected. Therefore, we request your indulgence in tolerating any variations that still exist and accept that the intention in reproducing these manuals was to provide the reader with information that would assist in the renovation and maintenance of these classic Velocette motorcycles.
Porsche 914/4 & 914/6 1970-1976 Workshop Manual
312 pages and more than 600 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. When the new Porsche 914 was announced in 1969 (as a 1970 Model), Floyd Clymer had already published a number of Porsche and VW manuals. Those publications included manuals for the Porsche 356 and 912, the VW Beetle, the 1500cc/1600cc Square-back/Hatch-back and the Transporter/Bus. Consequently, it was no surprise that Floyd would begin preparation of a 914 shop manual. Floyd was able to complete the Porsche 914 manual in record time, mainly because he was able to re-use most all of the 'mechanical' pages from his previously published Porsche and VW manuals. The only entirely 'new' section that he had to prepare was a chapter for the body components as they were uniquely different from any previous Porsche or VW model. Unfortunately, due to his untimely passing in early 1970 the 914 manual, although complete, remained unpublished and obviously, it only covered the early 914/4 1.7 liter and the 914/6 2.0 liter engines. We have taken that original manual and updated the information to cover the later 4 cylinder 1.8 liter and 2.0 liter models through 1976. While much of the general data is shared between both the 4 and 6 cylinder 914 variants, owners of the 6-cylinder 914 model are encouraged to read any individual chapter in its entirety, as it may include information that is specific to the 6-cylinder version.

A Year in Motion
On the heels of a catastrophic eye injury, multiple eye surgeries, and recovery over several years, on a dark night on the Blue Ridge Parkway, finally back in the saddle of his motorcycle, the author's return to riding grinds to a crashing halt. In an instant, there's a deer in his windscreen. Everything goes black then he wakes up on the pavement. Wrist surgery is followed by more recovery...then another setback. On the eve of his return to riding, the sight in the good remaining eye darkens at the edges-a detached retina. The next day he is in surgery again...and recovery...again. In his mid-sixties, the time left to ride to all the places he'd dreamed about now seemed limited, but he vows to himself he's not done yet. By October of 2021, doctors say he can ride again. Between then and the following October, 24,000 miles roll under the wheels of the new Tiger he'd bought to replace his wrecked Bonneville as he explores the United States. These are the stories of that year in motion.

ROYAL ENFIELD 750cc INTERCEPTOR 1962 to 1970 WORKSHOP MANUALS & PARTS MANUALS COMPILATION - ALL MODELS
296 pages and more than 200 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This Workshop Manual is possibly the most comprehensive publication ever produced for the 1962 through 1970 Royal Enfield 750cc Interceptor.A compilation of five factory publications, it includes the original MK1 or Series I workshop manual for the 1962 to 1966 models and the later workshop manual for the 1968 to 1970 MK2 or Series II. In addition, it also includes the three illustrated factory 'Spare & Replacement Parts' manuals: The difficult to find 1962-66 MK1, the 1967-68 MK1A and the 1969-70 MK2 models which also includes the often missing 1970 Supplement. While Royal Enfield never issued a workshop manual that was specific to the MK1A model, the later MK2 manual, when used in conjunction with the MK1A parts manual, it will provide adequate maintenance and repair information. This manual covers the following models: 750cc Royal Enfield Interceptor MK1 (Workshop & Parts Manuals), the Workshop Manual covers both the early and late MK1 models and both the UK and the USA variants.750cc Royal Enfield Interceptor MK1A (Parts Manual)750cc Royal Enfield Interceptor MK2 (Workshop & Parts Manuals), the Workshop Manual also includes data that is specific to the 1962 to 1968 models.PRODUCTION DETAILS: The 750cc UK Interceptor MK1 (or Series I) model was produced from September 1962 through December 1965. The 1964 line-up was expanded to include a 'Standard' 6 volt model (September '63 to August '64) plus a 'De-Luxe' model with 12 volt electrics. Then in January 1966, Interceptor production was temporarily suspended for the UK market until September 1967. However, when UK production resumed, the 750cc Interceptor MK1A (now fitted with coil ignition and Amal Concentric carburetors) was released (October '67 to September '68). The final variant, the MK2 (or Series II) was produced from October 1968 to July 1970. However, as both the 1969-70 'Clymer Indian' Enfield and the 1970-72 'Rickman Enfield' utilized the MK2 engine, this manual will also be of use to owners of those rare models. Due to a number of different reasons, there is a great deal of confusion surrounding production details and the various differences between the UK and USA Interceptor models. Firstly, it is a known fact that the engine and frame numbering procedure did not follow a pattern and, at times, was somewhat random. Adding to this confusion is that during the 1966-1967 factory shut-down of UK Interceptor production, various models were still being built for export to the USA. Then, beginning in March 1967, the company went through a number of significant changes in manufacturing location, management, ownership rights and mergers. However, it is known that in 1964, the USA Interceptor became the TT model. The 'Custom' model was added in 1965 and the GT in 1966. Consequently, it is very likely that the Interceptor models produced for the USA during the 1966-1967 UK market shut-down included the 'Custom' and the TT and GT variants. There were two MK1A models produced for the USA market, the TT7 (Scrambler) and the GP7 (Road Racer). The final UK/USA model, the MK2, was introduced for 1968 and remained in production through mid-1970. The cover image is a 1970 MK2 and the previous optional air cleaner, oil cooler, skid plate and seat rail were all fitted as standard equipment, however, the larger fuel tank was still an option. In order to help identify the subtle differences between the UK and the USA models, the reader is encouraged to review all three parts manuals and both workshop manuals prior to performing any adjustments or repairs. It should be noted that the MK2 workshop manual contains information that is also specific to the earlier models, including the MK1.
Motorcycle Smarts
"If I didn't think I could measurably reduce my chances of crashing, I wouldn't ride."- David Mixson Do you feel guilty for wanting to ride a motorcycle? Do you have a fear that overcomes you when you ride? Do you want to enjoy the peace of mind knowing that you're doing everything possible NOT to leave your family alone? David Mixson, author of the Motorcycle Smarts book series (and NASA engineer), debunks the myth that crashing is a matter of fate by explaining the most important topics that other motorcycle mega books gloss over. You won't find page-filling discussions about how to get the most out of your first Sturgis Rally or how to select riding gear. Instead, you'll find one of the most in-depth, simple to understand explanations of lowside and highside crashes that exists-anywhere. Riders die every day in these rider-induced crashes-and it doesn't have to be this way. Mastering the art of riding a motorcycle well is about understanding and overcoming rider fear. It's about having the head knowledge of how your motorcycle works so you can make it go where you want it to go. It's about understanding why riders crash so you can avoid making the same mistakes. It's about taking ownership of your riding safety. In addition to in-depth discussions about rider fear and (lowside and highside crashes), Motorcycle Smarts covers topics like countersteering, muscle memory, and braking. It also addresses some of the most important lessons from the Hurt Report and makes a case for only riding motorcycles equipped with ABS-that has nothing to do with stopping distances. Here's what one reader said: "I've read Total Control, Proficient Motorcycling, and Stayin Safe, but the section in Motorcycle Smarts on lowside and highside crashes is all the difference. David is great at simplifying difficult concepts. I'm definitely passing along this book to my riding friends."- Dano in San Diego, California NHTSA studies show that nearly half of all motorcycle fatalities are caused by rider error-and the numbers aren't getting any better. The training isn't working. The current motorcycle skills books aren't working. We need a fresh approach to helping riders NOT crash. This book is that. "This is the book I would hand to someone who's been riding for decades and wants to reduce their risk of crashing. This is the book I would give my son or daughter if they told me they wanted to learn how to ride a motorcycle. This is the book I couldn't find when I first started riding at forty."- David Mixson

Motorcycle Guys
This book is about a specific place, but the story is universal. The lessons to be learned could apply to any city in America. Motorcycles were indicative of the technology and manufacturing revolution taking place which enabled the machine's own development. The speed with which improvements came and the enormous advances made in a short period of time, can only be compared to that of the computer revolution a century later. The connections between motorcycles, people, and the industrial and economic evolution of the 20th century holds lessons worth learning regardless of one's interest in motorcycles.This little book will acquaint the reader to people and events which may not be familiar. As well as mentioning some that might be surprisingly familiar. With over 190 illustrations, most from private collections, and many never seen publicly, there is sure to be something of interest. There is much more to be told. Much more to be learned. Much, much more that will never be known. This is a peek behind the curtain before what's still there disappears forever.
TRIUMPH 750cc T150 & T150V TRIDENT 1968-1974 WORKSHOP MANUAL
246 pages and more than 240 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This publication is a reproduction of the Triumph factory workshop manual part number 99-0963/0887/4223. The original 1969 Trident workshop manual 99-0887 was updated in 1972 under part number 99-0963. A short time later, the introduction of a 5-speed gearbox (1972) and a front wheel disc brake (1973) necessitated the publication of a supplement 00-4223 which was then incorporated into the 99-0963 manual creating a single workshop manual for the 1968 through 1974 models. Unfortunately, the 99-0963 manual was also published without the 00-4223 supplement and the manual that includes the supplement can only be identified by the following notation printed to the bottom corner of the title page: 'PART NO. 99-0963 INCORPORATING 99-0887 AND SUPPLEMENT 00-4223'The difference in content between the two manuals that carry the same part number is extremely important to owners of the 5-speed and disc brake models.There were a number of 'running changes' made throughout the 6-year production run of these models and, in order to provide information applicable to those changes, the 00-4223 supplement was either merged or appended to the end of the appropriate sections within the manual. However, it is also important to note, with regard to any maintenance and repair instructions and also the specifications in the 'General Data' (GD) section, that whenever engine numbers are stated, the data will be specific to that particular series. Therefore, the reader is encouraged to pay close attention to any engine number notations and to read the entire section plus the supplemental data prior to commencing any work. In conclusion, 750cc T150 and T150V owners are subjected to considerable confusion surrounding the appropriate selection of the multitude of originals and reprints of the various 750cc Trident manuals that have recently flooded the marketplace. However, the combination manual 99-0963/99-0887/00-4223 is the most comprehensive manual for the entire line of 750cc Trident three-cylinder motorcycles produced from 1968 through 1974, however, it is somewhat scarce and difficult to find. In addition, many of the changes made during the production run necessitate the use of this 'combination' manual and we are pleased to offer this reprint of the 99-0843/99-0948/00-4223 manual as a service to all 750cc T150, T150V owners. In addition, as the X75 Hurricane is a combination of both the Trident and the BSA Rocket 3 this manual will also be of interest to owners of that model.The models covered are: 1968 to 1970 T150 Trident1971 to 1972 T150 Trident1972 to 1974 T150V Trident - with 5 speed gearbox and disc front brake.
HONDA 1969-1978 WORKSHOP MANUAL 750cc SOHC 4 CYLINDER K0 K8 & F0 F3
238 pages and more than 600 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. At the time of Floyd Clymer's unexpected demise in 1970, there were a number of manuals that had been completed and were ready for publication; this Honda CB750 is one of those manuals. When the original manual was compiled in either late 1969, or early 1970, it was only applicable to the first series of 1969/70 S.O.H.C. CB750 (Sandcast) and CB750K0 models and minor changes to these early models are noted in the text. However, detailed information on these changes (and subsequent changes) have been updated, by the addition of supplements, that cover the 1971 to 1978 CB750K (K1 K8) series plus the 1975 to 1978 CB750F (F0 F3) models. There were a number of 'running changes' made throughout the 10-year production run of these models and, in order to provide information applicable to those changes, the appropriate supplements are appended to the rear section of this manual. Prior to commencing any work the reader is encouraged to review those supplements with regard to applicable engine number notations as whenever engine numbers are stated, all specifications, maintenance and repair instructions will be specific to that particular series.Beginning in 1968 and extending through the 1975 model year, the 'K' suffix often, but not always, changed on an annual basis. 'K0' was normally used to indicate the first model in the series with updated versions identified as K1, K2, K3 etc. While the 'K' number designations continued in use outside the USA through 1978, in September 1973, American Honda adopted a year identifier within the model number - for example; a CB750K'76 would be a 1976 USA model but in most other countries that same model would be identified as a CB750K6. Setting this potential for confusion aside, we can state that this manual covers the 1969 through 1978 S.O.H.C. CB750K and CB750F models. The CB750 was a true 'superbike' but it was also readily available and reasonably priced. After its initial launch in 1969, the CB750 remained in production (virtually unchanged) through 1978. With a 10-year production run of approximately 450,000 units, no one could have anticipated that it was destined to become a collector's item. Consequently, we are pleased to offer this updated and expanded version of the original Floyd Clymer manual as a service to all 750cc S.O.H.C. Honda owners, enthusiasts and restorers worldwide.Finally, please note that the text in the original manual was translated from Japanese into English. Consequently, some of the phrasing, grammar, punctuation and word usage may be subtly different from that commonly used in the English language. However the information, as presented, is readily understandable. In addition, while we have done our best to identify any anomalies and errors that may have occurred during the original translation process, we are certain that we will have missed one or two and we request your indulgence in ignoring them.
