Looking to sell my 1973 TX650. Looking to at least recovery the amount I paid $1800. Needs some work but will start by kick start. I've done a bit of work on it but it still needs some timing work. It is a bit dusty in my photos. Text or email is the quickest and easiest way to reach me...

What is the bolt property class of the rear sprocket bolts? would an 5.8 suffice. It seems to have the range for that specified torque value of 22 ft/lbs.

wow great deal! I have a bike salvage place i need to call tomorow and see if i can find it locally. If not then i would love to take that one off of your hands. The part that broke was the nut that holds the tube to the adaptive fitting.

I'd be interested in the oil feed tube.

I'm looking for an oil feed tube that will fit on a 73 tx650. I'm not sure how interchangeable that is between the different year engines. I was really excited to finish my bike last night and hear it run until the lower fitting broke on the tube from being 40+ years old. I doubt I would be able...

good tip. So the pin in the camshaft to hold the backing plate is slightly larger in diameter than the pins in the advance rod correct?

I found another thread that showed the pin i forgot to install on the actual camshaft. It was the left over pin. Thank you for the input! and this will give me a chance to make sure the pins on the advance rod are on the same plane.

I forgot to include that I have a 73 TX650. sorry no pictures at the moment. When all was said and done i ended up with a spare pin after using one on the advance side for the notched plate.

Hey there. Im installing finishing up a motor rebuild that I put off for too long. Im to the point where I am installing the advance rod and advance unit. My issue is with the assembly on the advance side. Im having trouble finding a good schematic for the parts and assembly. I have put it all...

I'll be there tomorrow afternoon with a few coworkers. Im hoping this will give the kick in the butt to get mine back up and running. Looks like I'll be missing the chance to meet up on saturday.

Right on Dust! Im interested to see how this turns out for you.

Lucky for you man! I also got a 73 TX650 about 5 months ago but not in the best running condition. Currently have the engine apart for new engine gaskets due to a leak. Gonna check the piston rings and wall. Can't quite recall the mileage but it did run after rebuilding the carbs. Still have...

Thanks for that info. I think the parts ordering will start mid month in august after all the important bills are paid. That and im waiting for cooler weather so i can work in the garage. Not fun wrenching in 90 deg f.

This is my first engine tear down and I am looking to go through an engine rebuild. I have seen ads for parts from MikesXS but im wondering if there are other sources for say gasket kits, oil seal kits, rings if necessary. Im planning on doing this right the first time to avoid constant...

Is there still a good group that meets up every once and a while? Im looking to cruise this site and maybe pick some brains on a 73 tx650 that ive had for a few months. I've started tearing down my bike for an engine top end rebuild and getting an engine gasket kit due to a good leak.

Sorry that I've been slacking on that photo. Going through a ton of stuff at home. Trying to make time but I've also neglected my poor bike as well.

Ill try and get a photo to you later. Ive got mine sitting in the garage and waiting for some cash to get a top end gasket kit.

I normally use enough to cover the first 3-4 threads if it is a tapered thread. Then clean up the excess. Usually what i do at my work too.

Has there been any meet ups lately? I just got into a 73 tx650 and have been slowly rebuilding the carbs and replacing a few parts here and there. Still not road worthy but close to it!

would there happen to be any working fuel petcocks for the 73 tx650 tank? I just replaced the filter in it and it pulled out when i tried to pull the hose off. They also seem to leak. Im just about to finish the bike and make it road worthy.
