I chased a similar issue and it ended up being my throttle cable was one turn too tight on the adjuster. Backed it off, problem solved...

True but weak springs will affect shifting.

I’ve run several sets of the Shinko’s mainly because of the cost factor and rhey’ve been good tires however the last set I bought I had...

If you use the wrong oil (labeled energy conserving) they have additives that can cause your clutch to slip.

Most of us just end up patching those as the tear is very common.stolen pic attached…..

If they’ve never been changed it’s probably a good idea. Like 5t said, make sure all the old gasket gets cleaned out. One of the easiest...

I take that back, it looks like it could bypass the safety relay. I was looking at the wrong diagram

Just a guess, but does “clipping” those wires together bypass the kill switch?

Correct, those are two separate circuits.

Yes, dash indicates a 75. If that is the case those carbs will be unlinked. Nothing wrong with that other than requiring two throttle...

A brat tail normally allows you to keep the rear suspension, it just changes the angle and lowers the stance. I can tell you from...

Was able to do local pickup(10 min away) and he accepted my offer. If someone was shooting for Pepto Bismol they nailed it! Sorry to...

Gorgeous bike! Welcome aboard!

I interpreted that as the tubing attached to the barbs? Keep them short, get gas on the engine. Make them long, get gas on the floor...

That would depend on where you want the gas to leak out when you forget to close the petcock….

While I’m laid up I’m trying to get to a few of the small things that are on my list. Installed the correct dash on the 75. It didn’t...

Looks like possibly the underside of the turn signal switch?

Just make sure you don’t accidentally throw away the rear wheel bearing spacer. Easy enough to do:banghead: It’s only sold by 650...

I noticed on the last set I bought all the fibers were under 3mm. I think they were around 2.7ish and I had no issues. It was a 7 plate...

Terry, question about those air filters. Does the perforated metal give a good enough airflow at high revs? Just asking cuz I don’t know?

I don’t know what those would run you but tires, like everything else, are stupid priced. I just put 4 on my Super Duty and that was a...

She sounds lovely……

My suggestion would be look at styles and determine what you like. Then take into consideration what would be comfortable for you to...

Adam that bike is absolutely beautiful!

I agree with Marty. It sounds like a clutch issue. I was having slipping issues but all my fiber plates spec’d out good however seeing...

I also had to check on Beags64 a few weeks back for another members inquiry. Maybe we need to start a milk carton thread.

If it wasn’t new I would say take it apart as it sounds like something is plugged but since it’s new definately get a replacement.

A hoe? There’s my problem! I always spread it with a plastic spreader!

The only issue is the extra gap at the headlight ears that is easily cured by adding an o-ring

I agree with 5t. I’ve done several of the conversions and what a difference. If not I probably have a set of XS2 bearings I can send you.

I’ve had Emgo rebuild parts that I used in an MC that would lose pressure, sometimes out of the blue. A quick pump and it would return...

Another small task done. Replaced the muffler gaskets on the ‘75. The threads on the cap or on the mufflers was barely holding but it...

If that were totally true I would be achieving genius status. :bow2: Of course there’s still so much more for me to screw up! Lol

Turning it over shouldn’t hurt it but yea, before you worry about pulling that starter I would check function. If it spins then work...

Have you tried jumping the starter directly to the battery? That starter isn’t that bad to get at but you have to take your time.

When I rebuilt my ‘75 the right fork tube had some pitting from sitting outside for years but I was hoping it was high enough on the...
