thanks for hosting pete, I just thought I'd put this pic up of the cam chain system I was talking about on some cb900 models not sure if this system was common to any of the 750 dohc models, but might be worth investigating

So two sets of chain tensioner to adjust 😡 could explain the odd noise that goes away when warm though? might just need the smaller chain adjusting? I'd be more worried about the head gasket and whatevers going on with the choke, though they could all be easy fixes

There are some detailed vids on YouTube on doing the cam chain .its all down to what they want for the bike all faults are bargaining chips. Parts are plentiful so not expensive except the exhaust engines are strong .mine only had folding carb issues but can't tell you any more as I only road it for a week

Yep, I think its probably the same bike, I dont like the idea that he's firm on that price and it seems to have a few issues. but that said could be easy fixes. are you fancying it?

It’s on Facebook, I did offer him £800 when I viewed it but he wouldn’t go for it. It could be a good buy, but as you say it’s got a few issues. The owners going blind so he tells me, he does seem genuine. Do you think it’s too rich?

I'm not sure if its too rich. if the head gaskets ok I'd be tempted, air leaks on the intakes and stuff is a pretty easy fix, choke hopefully the same. it could be one of those bikes that people begin to look to in the next couple of years because they can afford to buy them, I'd stress 'could' in that last sentence. another way of looking at it is its a big old lump of bike for less than a grand. what does the noise sound like before in goes away? is it a bit like a faint doorbell? or more of a ticking noise?
