Taking your time to strap up the engine for removal worked out well ! I did not realize the CBX had a single rear shock. I had a 2000 CB 750 and it was a standard dual shock setup.
Yes, it did work very smoothly. Unfortunately I don't think it will work well for re-instalation, too difficult to strap it sitting on blocks I think, so, on the suggestion of some other folks here, im gonna lay the engine on its right side, protect the frame with an inner tube & tape, and mount the Frame to the engine all on its right side, then ill set it upright and go from there (tomorrows job).
Following you on your restoration. I am currently working on a CBX750F as well but i only intend to get it back to running order. You are lucky to have a fully intact unit as compared to mine which has been slightly modified by the previous owner.
That took a lot of thought and preparation and many cups of coffee! Good to see the engine came out without to much of a fight, well done. Hope the sprag clutch ain’t to hard to replace! Now the proper work can start, good luck 👍
I have the Honda CB700SC Nighthawk which I believe is same frame and only slightly different engine in the cylinder head and its shaft drive. Anyway I got my engine out by stripping the bike to just frame and engine, removed engine bolts, then two people lay the bike on its side on a single quilt and jiggle the frame up and off leaving the engine on the floor 👍
Yes, that’s how I got it back in the frame actually. Unfortunately it has to come out again (as you see in the later videos . Thanks for commenting and watching.
Hello again, I would like to clarify what i did to remove the Suzuki engine from the frame, the motor weighs over 100 kilograms,with the frame striped bare I could easily remove the engine from the frame once I laid it over on its side then lift it of, their isn’t very much room to get it out but can be done,when replacing the engine I wrap the frame with inner tube and secure with cable ties and lower the frame over it and stand it back upright,then use the lifter to raise the motor and frame up to put the swing arm and wheels on, by the way I am in my seventies,if I can do it any one can if they have a lifter,hope this helps.
Hi !, Brilliant idea on the inner tubes Phil, I like that. I've been thinking something similar to protect the frame for my re-install. Even if I have to buy some cheap inner tubes, its good insurance !!
Thanks for the comment, Came out pretty easy with the engine hoist and once the frame was stripped it was easy to lay the frame onto the engine for the re install
@@true-moto-resto the Nighthawk S that were sold in Canada from 84-86 I believe is the same motor as CBX750. Only the Nighthawk S were shaft drive and dual rear shocks. The geometry is also has steep rake. JDM CBX750 would be cool to have though.
Excellent work! You're the most detailed mechanic/restorer I've seen on UA-cam.
Thanks !!!!

How can I request to have these parts delivered to Iraq?
Old tire on the ground. Tip bike and engine on to tire. Unbolt. Lift frame off.

@@true-moto-resto i’m glad I found your channel. I’m in Vancouver working on a 1985 Nighthawk S. Full tear down cafe / custom build.
@@porkchop2723 Sounds like a fun project ! So your Nighthawk S will have the same engine as my CBX750.
