Motorcycle Repair: 1975 Honda CB750 rubber orfice adjustment, honda cb750, orfice


Question
Replacing front sprocket and there is a adjuster for seating rubber orifice against oil reserve element, can not locate how to adjust this-help?

Answer
To be honest we used to shut the automatic oilers off because it didn't do a very good job of oiling the chain and it made a terrible mess of the bike.  If you insist on using it, you just back it out until you start getting too much oil and then turn it in until you can live with the mess. There's no real setting method because every bike seemed to be a little different.  Honda probably had an initial setting procedure but I don't recall anymore since we turned them all off. I'd still recommend you use a good chain lube or you will replace the chain a lot more often.
