Honda CB750 FOUR: Assembly Guide

Place a suitably sized piece of strong,
semi-transparent plastic, such as a
storage box lid, on top of the display
base, and put your model on top of it.
Align the IR sensor in the oil pan with the
IR receiver in the base.
Insert the large ignition key into the
keyhole in the display base control
panel, in the orientation shown.
Turn the ignition key to the right, until it
is horizontal, aligned with the red dot on
the lock cylinder.
Insert the smaller ignition key into the
ignition switch. Make sure you insert it
the right way round.
Checking the lights and sounds
The interactive functions of
the model will be tested over
the following pages. If any of
them do not work, refer to the
assembly steps to check the
connections.
The headlight
The instruments
Move the right-hand slider on the
display base to the ‘L’ position. The
headlight should shine dimly. Then
return the slider to the ‘o’ position.
If you need to remove a
connector, carefully open
the socket a little with
tweezers before removing
the connector with pliers.
When the right-hand slider is in either the ‘L’ or ‘H’ position,
the speedometer and tachometer should light up as well as
the headlight.
Move the slider to the far end, the ‘H’
position. The headlight should now
shine brightly. Then return the slider to
the ‘o’ position.
Red●
Note the position of the hole
The various parts of your
model’s lighting (the
headlight, instrument
lights, brake light and
indicators) will only work
when the ignition key
in the display base is in
the red dot position and
the right-hand slider is in
either the ‘L’ or ‘H’ position.

The brake light
Turn the headlight on (use either the ‘L’ or ‘H’ slider positions). Press down lightly
on the brake pedal until the brake light illuminates, as shown above. Turning the
key further to the right, so that it is aligned with the black dot (park position),
should also make the brake light come on.
The indicators
Move the left-hand slider on the display
base to the left, into the ‘L’ position. The
front and rear indicators on the left side
of the model should come on and blink.
Return the slider to the centre.
Move the slider to the ‘R’ position. The
indicators on the right side of the model
should now come on and blink.
Push the brake
pedal down
The starter switch and kick starter
Pressing the button below the right-
hand slider once will activate the sound
of the engine starting when the electric
starter is used. Pressing it a second time
will change the sound to that of the
engine idling. Turn the ignition key on
the control panel to the ‘o’ position to
stop it.
Your model will also simulate the sound
that is heard when the kick starter is used.
Pulling the starter out and pushing it
down will activate the sound. This sound
should be slightly dierent to the electric
starter eect. Again, turn the key to the
‘o’ position to stop it.
The horn
The knob at the right-hand end of the
display base control panel adjusts the
volume of your model’s sound eects.
Turning the knob to the right will
increase the volume, turning it to the left
will reduce it.
To activate the horn, press the button
below the left-hand slider.

Fixing the fuel tank
Once you have veried that the parts work without any problems, return the sliders and ignition switch to their ‘o’ positions. If any of
the functions aren’t working properly, make sure that the sliders and the switch are o, then work through the relevant assembly steps
to rectify the problem. Then install the fuel tank, following the steps below.
Move the fork assembly forward by around 5mm.
Remove the Honda badges from the sides of the
fuel tank.
Gather all of the cables together and place the
fuel tank over the top of them.
Remove the steering stem holding the front fork
assembly in position.
Move the front fork assembly back to its original
position, and replace the steering stem (see
Stage 72).

The indicators The shock absorbers
The rear fender
Remove the indicators, and use a toothpick to place a
small amount of multi-purpose adhesive to the insides of
the indicator mounting holes. Put the indicators back into
their holes and x them in place with masking tape until
the glue has dried.
Remove the screw holding the shock absorber in place.
Apply some multi-purpose adhesive to the inside of the hole,
and then retighten the screw. When the glue has dried, it will
x the screw in place.
If there are gaps between the rear fender and the adjacent parts, replace the type R
screws with type W screws, which are slightly longer.
If one of the screw holes
has been damaged, apply
some instant adhesive to
the end of the screw from
inside the fender.

Restoring the tyre colour
Over time, the front and rear tyres may gather dust and take on
a whitish appearance. To restore them to their original colour,
follow the steps below: these steps show the front tyre, but they
also apply to the rear tyre.
Tools
Silicone-based oil spray
Newspaper
Cross wrench
Grease (Stage 6)
Brush
Paper towel
If the front tyre has whitened, remove the front wheel
from the assembly.
Twist the tyre to loosen up the dust. Brush the surface of
the tyre with an old toothbrush to dislodge any dust that
is caught in the tread.
Remove the tyre from the wheel.
Wipe the oil from the tyre with a paper
towel. Make sure there is no oil left on
the tyre.
Use a paper towel to rub the grease into
the surface of the tyre, and then wipe
away any excess.
Apply a light mineral-based grease –
such as the grease that was supplied
with Stage 6 – to the outer surface of
the tyre.
Place the tyre on an old newspaper
and spray with a silicone-based oil to
clean it.
