I'm guessing that if the plates are rusted together I'm gonna need a new pack correct?

@jay, the cable moved freely with the lh cover off. i wanted to check if the clutch plates are stuck together. is there fluid inside the right cover? also do i need to drain the oil to take the side filter out? or will it just leak fluids everywhere? @xsleo the cable is routed in the factor...

@xsleo i will try all that! thanks @scabber with the cover off the lever and everything moves freely. the only thing slightly off about it is that the return spring doesnt have enough force to return it to the neutral position with the cover off. not sure if that matters though since the...

how difficult is the clutch supposed to be to pull? im trying to go through and replace everything thats not gonna work perfectly before i try to start my barn find. its my first bike and up until today i couldnt even move the clutch. i pulled off the LH cover and cleaned everything and...

can i get in on this little comp?

which side caliper did you use?

like this?

probably didnt miss it so its good to say. motor is not seized, just all the hand controls and the one carb. got it to turn with the kick starter fairly easily although i stopped as compression increased. i took off one of the valve inspection covers and it almost looks like the top end was...

it will be interesting to see if im able to fix the one carb. its so stuck im not sure i can get it apart. as for the front suspension, it needs to be rebuilt badly. the tubes are pretty rusty and mikes doesnt have the right ones in stock. so i figured id be killing 2 birds with one stone...

:laugh: i will definitely keep this input in mind. i finally got the bike out of the barn and home. pumped up the tires and removed the carbs, tank, seat, fenders ect. the left side carb is seized and both are so redicilously dirty on the inside that im thinking of just getting some...

thats what i was looking for! next question, tire recomendations? also where to get tires?

holy helpful post!!! thank you what type of battery do you recommend? i talked to a bike mechanic friend of mine and he told me to get it started first as well so i think i am going to do that. but i kinda want to get it to kick start only (battery-less) eventually so i dont want to spend...

yeah! im thinking cafe/brat and have some ideas floating around in my brain space. tins are ok. theres some rust bubbling up on the tank and i think the other side has a dent in it from when it was knocked over. im pretty sure im gonna go with a xs750 or a cb450 tank eventually. i just...

Good to know. It just sounded from that thread that if it's been sitting for a while I could score the cylinder walls if they were slightly corroded and that if it's been sitting for a while (like 26 years) it would likely be corroded. As far as costs, yeah I know it can be a lot. I just don't...

if you mean this thread, i read it and am frightened of trying to kick it over. i would really appricate pics of the underside of the gas cap. might make things easier on me
