    Another Vm34 thread

    I feel like it’s worth mentioning as well that the cap ran the single carb setup without issue. Is there anything about a dual carb setup that would be different with regard to electricity and output?

    Another Vm34 thread

    hey guys, really need your help on this as I’m at my wits end. I was running my bike with a sparx capacitor, PMA, pamco with e advance, 2-1 intake and a Vm36. She ran pretty well, but my little brother got a set of vm34’s from Hoos racing and it seemed to run a little smoother. I figured I’d...

    74-76 front brake side switch

    I'm wondering the same. Any tips on how to diagnose that? I can't find any fluid leaking out

    74-76 front brake side switch

    Still can't get this thing to bleed right. I may reach out to Hugh to ask about swapping for a new master cylinder. I've tried two cables, two bleed screws, tying the cable off, bleeding at the MC directly and I still have a squishy brake. Not sure what else to do. Besides the rotor every part...

    74-76 front brake side switch

    Put the new line in and it's better but still spongy. Tied it up with the lever pulled for the night. Other than that I'm out of ideas. Caliper, master cylinder and brake line are all brand new. Caliper has a one way check valve in it too. I'm ready for a new bike

    74-76 front brake side switch

    On my way to a shop that will make me a new line out of stainless. Thinking that will solve it. That other line is squishy and I can feel it flex when I squeeze the lever. The switch is hooked to the rear brake. I'm the type of rider that is using either my rear brake only or both, but never...

    74-76 front brake side switch

    One more question for you guys. I had a local hydraulic shop make up a cable for me because none of the shops near me could do it because the caliper fitting on the 76 is unusual. I'm wondering if the cable they made me is bad. It's obviously too thick for a bike and not stainless steel but...

    74-76 front brake side switch

    Ok guys so one more question lol. I got the brake switched over and mounted up but noticed there was a slight running noise as I moved the bike around. I took two pics that show what's rubbing, I'm not sure what these little tabs are needed for but is there anything wrong with just sanding them...

    Borrowed my buddy's more powerful impact and made quick work of them. Guess I need a better impact for bolts that claim to be 36ft lbs haha. I'll put them back to that spec correctly tonight when I install. Thanks again for the help, trying to get into better habits of confirming details...

    74-76 front brake side switch

    Thanks guys! I'll try again to get those bolts out but I'm not feeling good about it. I put the caliper in a vice and tried to get them out and got nowhere. Even tried our shop impact on it with no luck. If I can't get them out, can I just spin that fork leg around so the tabs face front? The...

    74-76 front brake side switch

    Hey guys, ordered a new front brake for my 76 and noticed that it's set up to go on the left side fork but my disc is on the right. It says the caliper is for either side but I can't seem to get the 17mm bolt and stud loose to switch them around. Are they Loctite'd in there? Reverse thread...
