I got another #4 gear on the starter, behind the clutch. That works and now the starter turns the engine over. The #4 gear doesn't want to disengage now. A couple of times the gear disengaged and then went back towards the center of the engine, or re-engaged and sits in the engaged position...

I just wanted to say that I got good parts and fast delivery for my clutch and starter parts from Motrhedd.

A tough looking biker was riding his Harley when he sees a girl about to jump off a bridge so he stops. "What are you doing?" he asks. "I'm going to commit a suicide," she says. While he did not want to appear insensitive, he didn't want to miss an opportunity he asked "Well, before...

Are these the same or substatutable for the XS650?

Is the clutch nut a standard right thread? Thought I should check before I really crank on the torque, as it isn't coming off easy. I'll take any suggestions on that also. I got a clutch removal tool from Mike's. I also got the clutch socket / 27 mm which is too small. This is a 1978. Thanks.

I did look on here and Mikes xs. This is the first item on my rebuild that I can't find. Do you have a pic of or know where I can get a replacement? Thank.s

How can I take this shock apart for cleaning? Is it easy to do? Special tools?

I didn't see an answer anywhere on the forum, but I did look. When I replace the engine on the frame should I coat the bolt shafts that go through the engine mounts with anything? They seemed to have some dry white stuff on them when I removed them. They were NOT all rusty but then the bike...

If you use a four wheeler ramp laid across your 5th wheel mount counterbalanced by your firewood to hold your project motorcycle frame while you paint it.

I did look through here, but I didn't find a post on how to remove the front sprocket. I figured reading a how to might make it easier. Thanks.

'78 stock alum / mag wheels. My plan is to have them media blasted and then use DuriColor etching primer and gloss black paint. Paint the whole wheel solid black. Then take them to the local Yamaha and have tires mounted. My question is, should I do something so the tire install doesn't...
