Honda CB750: Engine
Affects Honda CB750 · 1979 — about 754 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain CB750K, the engine oil filter boss for the oil filter retaining bolt may not withstand the stress caused by engine temperature and pressure or overtightening of the oil filter bolt. This condition may cause the oil filter boss to break allowing oil to fall on the road surface. The oil may come in contact with the rear tire causing a reduction in traction.
