Not anymore.

Thanks Davo.

I just realized that when I did my search and found this original thread, I never realized I was looking at a CB77 thread. Brain phardt on my part. But the good news is my Honda Spec book is on its way.

regards,
Rob

From what I can tell.

DRAINED -- 185/210CC
REASSEMBLY --
200/225CC

I haven't seen one of these books available for a long time. ......lm

Is the spec book available?

Thanks,

Rob

LM,

I'm confused by a couple of things. I got my Honda Spec book this week (it's not red, it's black, but published by Honda) for 1959-1980 US models. Looking at the 250/305 section I find both the CB72/77 and CL72/77.

The CB72/77 has two fork types listed (steel and alum) and two fork oil quantities listed

Steel - 215-225cc dry
200-210cc drained

Alum - 200 dry
185 refill

The CL72/77 section only lists the steel fork type. No mention of the alum fork. Actually no mention of steel or alum. Just one folk capacity listed.

270-280cc dry
255-265cc refill

Does your Little Red book actually show an aluminum fork oil quantity spec for the CL72/77 forks? I'm wondering if this later edition was modified for some reason.

Or did you find the alum slider CL77 fork oil quantity in another one of your resources?

Thanks,
Rob

My last post tells the story. ...............lm
