CB/CL77 TECH-TIPS “LESSONS” LEARNED

[Spargett]

A while ago I was looking for a general collection of information about the CB77's. Not technical data, but all of the little things that come with experience when wrenching and riding the Superhawks. I recently stumbled upon this list in the corners of the internet. I thought I'd share the rather extensive document with everyone. I can't find who the author is because the PDF is just a cached and archived resource online.

And just a disclaimer; I did not write this, nor can I say the information is 100%. Please feel free to correct any information you disagree with.

Scott,

Great info! Thanks.

I took a quick read through this, and see I will need to look back at it for reference. I have one question. I remember reading some info on the oil filter washer, and when I read it I double checked mine to make sure it was right. If it's not in the right place, bad things can happen.

You say it the separator washer is installed on the outside of the separator drum (and not on the inside / toward the engine interior). Is this right? I want to make sure I get this right.

EDIT:: I don't want to confuse anyone, so I removed the picture from the parts catalog. This makes it look like the washer should go on the inside. After reading all the posts I could find, I was still a bit confused, but I think I finally understand... I hope!!

The washer goes on the shaft first against the pin, the filter slides on next. The assembly is put into the case so the chain can be put in place. Then the shaft can be put in the hole. The pin is put in the 12 OC position and the cover can be put on.

Since I have the covers off and the motor on the bench, I took the following pictures to make sure I have this right. When the cover is put on last, the pin goes into the grove in the cover so the washer is between the outside cover and the filter. There is no washer between the filter and the inside crank case. Is this right?

You have it installed correctly. (Or as LM might say: Yup) Regards, Chase

Just wanted to re-clarify for everyone that I didn't write this. Apparently a man named Ron Smith out of San Diego put this together. I thought I should share it with the community though.

On a further note. Your post made me realize that my oil filter didn't have a washer!!! Its amazing the things you find when "inheriting" something from a previous owner. I placed an order for the washer from Western Hills Honda.
