In the 70's we used to remove the front end and rear wheel and then lay the bike on it's side. You can easily lift the frame off the engine that way if you're going to do a complete strip down. When reassembling install the motor first the same way and then the rest of the bike. It's much easier and less paint scratched.
Yup that is how I do it also. I then buy the frame eliminator kit so you don't have to deal with the frame any more you just remove the kit and the frame is no longer in the way.
I had a CB750 1972... pulled the engine. I found the easiest way was to lay the bike down on some foam to protect the engine on its left side. Lift the frame off the engine. But I also didn't have the wheels on it either. If you find yourself alone and with a frame and engine... give that method a shot! Nice removal on this one!! Thanks
You made it look easy . I'm still glad I had a guy with your level knowledge do this . I I did it I would worry if I put it back right so much I wouldn't enjoy riding . Now I know what my mechanic just went to . Thanks
Thanks for this video, it helped me easily swap the engine in my 79 cb750 with help from a buddy. I used a 2x3 to get the engine out, but it snapped in half putting the new engine in, so I upgraded to a 2x4 for that half of the job. So might be a good idea to invest the extra could bucks for the beefier stud, and pick one with minimal knots. Again thanks, this was super helpful.
Best bet is to get the bike on the ground, put a pile of cardboard boxes on the floor, and lay the bike on its side. If you then wriggle the frame, the engine will slide out fairly easily on to the cardboard. Installation is the reverse. Lay the engine on its side, and lower the frame down over it.
Good walk through and brilliant adaptation on the dead-lift. The Title business can be sorted thru Vermont, but you'll need to transfer to your State of residence after all is said and done. Tada...clear.
Thanks for the video. I was thinking of a 750 restore but seeing the size, better to try a smaller motor. Others are probably correct, no tires/fenders, just lay it on the it's side to remove and reinstall
Next time the way you do it is strip motorcycle down to just the engine and the frame, then you lean them on the side and simply lift the lighter frame off of the engine, to install just reverse the process.
17:28. Whoa. Flip flops! Always the best choice of footwear to have on in the workshop when picking up heavy stuf that might drop on your foot if you lose control of it! 😳😳😳
Bravo - question I have a Honda DOHC 750. I might need to do transmission work on it. I observed others tearing their hikes complete apart including dissembling the frame. Does your frame disassemble and you were able to avoid dissembling it?
Your videos are making me want to get going on my bikes. I've been collecting for years and buying parts on E-bay. I have three 1978 750 F's, one 1981 750 K, two 1978 550-4's, one 1978 CBX 500, one 1987 V-4 700 that I want to customize. My daily rider is a 2004 Honda CBR 600RR.
I have a 1980 cb 750 k is yours stock or did you do anything to it. I bought it stock and my 13 yr old has shown interest in making him a little bobber out of it. Having hell with carbs. Any info would be appreciated. The amount of info on TH-cam is priceless but like to hear from everyone I can. Thanks
@@jackieharper2533 Mine is stock and was treated badly when I got it. I was collecting before the cafe racer craze started so I found several 750's cheep when bike shops were practically giving them away. Now they want way too much money.
How heavy is the engine or how heavy is the frame without the engine looking into doing a predator swap mine hase a hole in the block it was a handmedown gift
Interesting. I’ve always used 3 people to get them in and out. 1 person on their back underneath lifting up and guiding the other 2 on the sides. Tape any potential frame stuff up good prior to install. Let’s face it. There’s no easy way to get that 230lb beast in and out. I’ve seen other guys lay the other bikes on it’s side but I’ve never tried it.👍
@@HTMR Matt....remove the exhaust studs AND the center piece of the cam cover. You get much more forward/aft and vertical space to move. I have used scrap linoleum around the frame tubes when installing the 750 engine. It is thin but very tough....have used it for 30 years. My wife has helped me remove/install CB750, FJ1200, Hayabusa, CBR 600F3 and many other engines😉
I just angle grinder my tail pipes off because they were rest of the shit yank the battery off all the connectors are still there definitely needs a new wiring harness know there’s a shit ton of corrosion all over the outside rushed out the ass thing as class what are the chances I can rebuild the top end and clean the carburetor up enough for it to work I know these motors are Hella strong
I wish you would get more ambitious on this project and do a full stock restore (four into one exhaust and upgraded electronics would be fine). You could perhaps find a titled frame or else isn't there a way to get a salvage title for the bike?
I get Kawasaki engines out by laying the bike on its right hand side, then finagling the engine out and pick the frame off the engine, which stays on the ground on its side. Can do it on my own.
Great video Matt. I love to work in my old Honda also. What is your source of original parts? Thanks Miguel Never mind I found your video of OEM! I should see all your videos first 👌🏽
Man, all you had to do was put the bike on the ground, lay it over on it's left side and lift the frame off. People been doing it that way for 40-plus years.

Sounds like the way to do it.
Yeah I thought about doing that. Maybe for the install. Thanks.
I just thinking the same here. Why pull the heavy one when there are light one.
Dude that’s genius! Thank you!
Hmmm I really like your videos, but do you really need the click bait?
It was pretty funny in my opinion lol... Not so much click bait
Kinda fucked up XD
Don't worry, wife made it out to garage twice in the past couple of years. Won't happen often.
It really be yo own🤦
Lil used the wife for click bait

Your wife must love that thumb nail photo. : )
“How are you gonna get it back in there?”, “idk we gotta take it out first” 😂😂

Awesome , I just purchased one and need to remove my engine just awesome .
Great video! Have a '78 750K in pretty good shape! 24K on it.
Next time the way you do it is strip motorcycle down to just the engine and the frame, then you lean them on the side and simply lift the lighter frame off of the engine, to install just reverse the process.
That seems like more work to me.
Nice work wifey! I have an apprentice wife also.
Here because of the thumbnail. Nice
Dope strategy 🔥

Mine in the one in this video is single overhead cam but typically the frames are one piece unless you start chopping it up

2:00 I found a mouse inside the airbox of a '76 CB360T that had been sitting since 1980.

Nice thumbnail bro
Yes nice
Did you remove the exhaust flange studs from the head?
No.

That's awesome to see the whole family in the garage. Keep up the good work.

click-bait! Its the Icing on da cake! lol I just got a frame and two motors when I picked up some VW's recently these videos will come in handy
Cant believe i watched that whole video to find the thumbnail. All for nothing
Thanks for the warning.
I wish you would get more ambitious on this project and do a full stock restore (four into one exhaust and upgraded electronics would be fine). You could perhaps find a titled frame or else isn't there a way to get a salvage title for the bike?
I've been looking and no dice.
Mrs. helped me pop '71 cb500 carbs on yesterday. LOL. I ask sparingly!
Should put a wide load sticker on that thing.
I mean 4 cylinders an 4 carbs makes for a pretty wide motor....
I get Kawasaki engines out by laying the bike on its right hand side, then finagling the engine out and pick the frame off the engine, which stays on the ground on its side. Can do it on my own.
Ok. Click bait got me 😂 Lets see more 😂😂😂😂

That is one great lady you’ve got there. She’s a keeper!
Good work and nice wife. Just not sure about her choice of footwear while lifting the lump hahaha. Cheers buddy!
Haha those were OHSA flip flops.
Do you know how much the engine itself weighs
What year is this CB?
Great video Matt. I love to work in my old Honda also. What is your source of original parts?
Thanks
Miguel
Never mind I found your video of OEM! I should see all your videos first 👌🏽
Did anyone mention that removal would be easier if you removed the countershaft sprocket cover?
Nope
Looking forward to see rebuilding videos
What is your working background Matt, just so we can understand you a bit better
Day job - Mechanical Engineer. At home - fix anything that is broken.
I picked up you had a very sound knowledge mechanically .
Thanks

I no its nothing to do with this video and bike but do you no what the idle tick over screw is on ajs js 125cc eco2 its a 2015 model
I used that lumber trick for installation of my GS850 motor. I stole it from Hackaweek too.
I should have took a little more time to construct it better. But, can't do anything right with 3-4 kids with you in the garage LOL.
Man, all you had to do was put the bike on the ground, lay it over on it's left side and lift the frame off. People been doing it that way for 40-plus years.
The fucking thumbnail tho...
The clickbait to another level lmao
clickbait... of course I wanted to see that bubble butt. unfair.
