What This Honda PC800 Service Manual Covers in Practice

Because the 1989-1998 Honda PC800 Pacific Coast Service Manual was assembled by Honda for the PC800 rather than adapted from a generic source, it addresses the machine on its own terms. The engine is an 800cc liquid-cooled 45-degree V-twin with a silent multi-link chain-drive OHC valvetrain and rocker arms. The manual documents valve train service, hydraulic tappet inspection and adjustment, camshaft removal and installation with the RT and FT timing marks, cam chain tensioner inspection, and cylinder head, cylinder, and piston procedures — all with the specific wear limits and torque values the factory publishes for this engine.

On the driveline side, this Honda PC800 Pacific Coast Service Manual walks through the clutch and primary drive gear, the hydraulic clutch master and slave cylinders, the gearshift linkage and shift drum service, crankshaft and transmission, and the final drive gear assembly with its backlash, preload, and shim selection procedures. Rear wheel and final drive oil capacity, hypoid gear oil specification, and ring gear-to-stop pin clearances are all listed in the specification tables.

The chassis and braking chapters cover the telescopic front fork with anti-dive case, the swingarm and rear damper, the hydraulic double-disc front brake and mechanical drum rear brake, wheels, tires, and steering head bearings. The electrical chapters include the charging system and alternator, ignition system with pickup coil and exciter coil resistance values, electric starter and starter clutch, and the lights, meters, and switches section. A dedicated wiring diagram section is included, and the emission control chapters cover the crankcase emission system, exhaust emission control system, and — for the California model — the evaporative emission control system with its purge control valve, air vent control valve, canister, and vacuum hose routing diagram.

Specifications, Torque Values, and Service Limits

A large General Information section near the front of this 1989-1998 Honda PC800 Pacific Coast Service Manual gathers the numbers you need in one place. It includes motorcycle dimensions, dry and curb weights, maximum weight capacity, tire pressures and sizes, fuel tank capacity, and fork oil capacity for pre-1994 and post-1994 models. Engine specifications list bore and stroke at 79.5 x 80.6 mm, displacement of 800cc, a 9.0:1 compression ratio, and firing order. Lubrication, fuel system, cylinder head, cylinder and piston, crankshaft, transmission, clutch, cooling, drive train, wheels and tires, front and rear suspension, brake, battery and charging, ignition, and starting system specifications each have their own table of standard and service-limit values.

Standard fastener torque values and a detailed list of important torque specifications for engine, frame, cooling, fuel, suspension, and brake fasteners are included. Notes alongside the torque tables flag the fasteners that require sealant, locking agent, molybdenum disulfide oil, engine oil, or grease, and identify left-hand threads, staked fasteners, and UBS bolts.

Maintenance Schedule and Troubleshooting

Section 3 in this Honda PC800 Pacific Coast Service Manual is the maintenance schedule, listing the intervals in miles and kilometres for the items that must be inspected, cleaned, adjusted, lubricated, or replaced — fuel line, throttle operation, carburetor choke, air cleaner, spark plug, engine oil and filter, carburetor synchronization, idle speed, radiator coolant, cooling system, evaporative emission control, final drive oil, brake fluid, brake shoe and pad wear, brake system, brake light switch, headlight aim, clutch, clutch fluid, side stand, suspension, nuts and bolts, wheels and tires, and steering head bearings. Section 21 groups troubleshooting symptoms — engine won’t start, lean mixture, rich mixture, stalling, afterburn, misfiring, poor driveability, and excessive exhaust noise — under the likely causes.
