    Brakes - ID and quickfix rec

    Can someone help me with an ID? I'd been operating under the assumption that my MC assembly was stock to my 77D, but from what I can gather from forum/manual that's not true? In any case was poking at my misty level-gauge and it crumbled under my fingernail. Yes that's brake fluid coming...

    Gas too fancy or narrowly avoided immolation?

    was chasing a slow carb leak on my BS38's, and found these. The two aged ones have been on the bike for maybe 5 months max. The clear one is what they looked like before they went on. Plastic is clouded, yellowed, and even bendy and flexible (unused ones are not any of these things). like either...

    Having a new issue with my 77 xs650D When I start it, indicator lights on dash seem fine, but after a few minutes the red BRAKE indicator for the taillight comes on and stays on. Brake light functions normally, just no longer indicated by the red light coming on cuz it's already on. Is my...

    I'm being beat by a Clutch!! Tried everything!

    So I have a 77' xs650D, mostly stock. It's my first bike, but I'm teaching myself everything I can. This forum is awesome, and I love my bike! Problem: I was lubing my clutch cable, and doing some basic stuff, and while I was doing so, while trying to wipe the exposed end of the...
