Is overheating normal?
Depends on the road conditions and how your ride your bike and also what you consider as overheating. It is normal for the CJ750 may run very hot especially the smaller engine. Having a well tuned bike (ignition timing, setting your valves, and synchronized carburetors) will seriously reduce the problem of overheating. Even too much or too little oil will affect the engine heating. Normally the Chang Jiang 750 should not overheat unless going uphill for long distances. It is normal practice when we ride in the summer to rest the Chang Jiang sidevalve 24 HP engine every hour or 50km on mountain roads or every 45 minutes of riding to let the engines cool down.
