Wingedwheel

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...

If it’s prone to stalling then more than likely the clutch needs adjusting. It’s easy to do. Another thing you might check, does the...

You want the light to flash with the blinkers. I believe the power wires after the relays is what you’re looking for.

I also hope it doesn’t mean their prices are going up.

I am still thinking the best solution is repair the threads, eliminate a washer and replace the nut. No cutting, drilling, fabbing or...

Blue would work, or use a Nyloc nut. If you’re going down a size you have to get a new nut anyway.

Can you chase the threads back to usable with a die or take them down one size?

What type do you want, chrome or black? If painted it would be easy enough to have a set modded to add that extra 7/16. Other than that...

From Tech on the compatible tubes.

Greg, I thought the ‘72-73 are the same. Inner tubes and internals, same part #’s. ‘74-75 tubes were also interchangeable with the TX500...

Can you post pic’s of what you have? One of the members will recognize what you have.

No loss of dignity if nobody is there to see it. lol

I’ve also had several but not had an issue but I did put a small piece of rubber under the latch. When it snapped shut the latch was...

Is it your brake caliper binding when you tighten it? Small increments until it starts binding then determine exactly where it starts to...

Very similar to the ones I made for my front mounts.

Check the clutch adjustment on the LH side and see if it’s over tightened. I had a similar issue with too much spacing between the plates.

There’s a small lip inside the caliper side the step in the axle has to get past. Otherwise I’d suspect the speedo drive not seated all...

Pretty easy explanation.

Sounds like a possible clutch issue? How does that work when it warms up? Does it have a hard shift? Slipping?

This looks simple to make. Much easier than aligning my Ultra. That is a major undertaking.

A few years ago when I actually learned the correct technique I was amazed. All that straining for years and now it’s effortless. It did...

You can test it in place….

Lube and adjust the chain? Lubricate the clutch and throttle cable.
