Your adjuster should have both parts screwed all the way in when you install the cable. Once the cable is installed screw them out until...

Evo for sure. Untouched and no computer to deal with. Easy to work on with few surprises.

That’s about the only part you can’t re-use and it’s really just a dust boot. I suppose you can do without if need be

is your perch adjustment set correctly?

You’re better off cleaning up the original parts and re-installing. The kits they offer now (EMGO) don’t really do a good job. I’ve had...

I’ve had an issue getting Shinko tires to seat on the aluminum rims. If the old oxidation isn’t cleaned off well enough it doesn’t allow...

I would sight down the chain and see what you have there. IMHO that’s the first thing to get right. If the bike got hit it might have a...

It always gets blamed on the flux capacitor!

You didn’t happen to swap the point leads accidentally. That would give you the backfire.

I used it because my stock exhaust was dented and rusty but very solid and I’m a cheap ass that would rather spend $20 than a few...

They pop up pretty regularly around me.

Ahhhh, makes sense. It’s a piece of cake to take the cable off without a boot.

You don’t have to take the cover off to oil the cable, you can just take it off at the perch. Just put a rag of cardboard on the floor...

I had an issue with a set of carbs where the right side was running much leaner than the left. I tried everything I could think of, had...

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...
