Talarico - Seen the pic on post #22?

Leo - Do you mean the 20 amp fuse should be on that wire to the fuse box? Where the Key icon is?

Thanks,Carb - that's kinda nasty looking. I hope they start to come cleaner next time

Not quite as colorful as the landscape -

Love it, Airwolfie!

The cam tensioner is aluminum - did you check it with a magnet? All my trash was magnetic, but I don't know if the mess I found is normal for a recent rebuild . . .

In Florida? Definitely 20-50

The reliable left turn in front of me caused me to clip the bumper (almost got by her!) and the Kawasaki 500 went rolling one way and I went the other. Good thing I was only going about 15 mph. Bike was quite twisted, but I eventually got it running again. Thanks to helmet and leathers I was...

And a third pic, posted by 5Twins in that same thread:

For further comparison, here's a pic from a thread by gggGary. Note that the length of the one off my '80, installed above (at bottom), sort of falls between the two in Gary's pic. How many versions of these push levers are out there? Are there any after market versions for sale that might...

My clutch action is stiff enough to hurt! This is a '75 with a stock rebuilt engine. The clutch plates, springs and right hand mechanisms looked good and no upgrades or mods were done on that side before we buttoned it down. It a one-piece push rod, I 'think' the bearing is in there on the...

Hi Bryan - Saludos from another New Mexican XSer. Was this at Mesa del Sol? Send us an invite next time - I'll ride out on my bobber -Machi
