    Hydraulic Clutch Intrest?

    They only surprise so far was how easily it fit into my '75 cases. The install seems very simple as this point. That said... bike is not running yet so I can't comment on how well it works just how well it installed into the cases.

    Oil pump

    clearances seem fine between the two rotors. Once I tighten the screws it will not turn? Any advice?

    Hydraulic Clutch Intrest?

    It comes with a generic black master looks like a match to the brake that HHB and others all list - since it came with it I will start there and see how I like it.

    Hydraulic Clutch Intrest?

    '75 cases - fit right in - no grinding for me. It is hard to tell from their pdf instructions but the grinding that they are suggesting is on the left edge if that oil channel not on the back side. in other words the slave should fit on the pushrod with no modification - the grinding is only...

    Hydraulic Clutch Intrest?

    bleeding: got it now. I have done hydro brakes on mt bikes too many times to think about. I will do the original fill w/ the assembly off the bike so that I can limit bubbles in the system and then do final bleed after assembly. as to the construction. I will turn the screws when I am in the...

    Hydraulic Clutch Intrest?

    I don't quite understand peoples concerns on bleeding. it has a bleed nipple on the outside of the case under the stock clutch adjustment cover. I think it should be fairly straightforward. hydro line came preassembled and exits the slave straight down. it does not fit through the cable hole...

    Hydraulic Clutch Intrest?

    Popped right in no mods needed. There is some lateral play that I think will work itself out once there is pressure on it from the other side. If I am not getting enough separation there is enough room to shim between the side cover and the slave body to adjust my throw. pretty pleased w/ it...

    Hydraulic Clutch Intrest?

    That nipple w the bleed screw has a notch for the included circlip. I think it all fits behind the case and gets covered by the stock chrome cover

    Hydraulic Clutch Intrest?

    Xs650shop.de was easy. Not automated. Fill out the order and they send a PayPal invoice. English was fine by email. Shipping took 5 days. Box was beat up but complete. Like I said I will dry fit it tomorrow and post pics. Came w no instructions so I might need some consult.

    What have you done to your XS today?

    harbor freight sand blaster is only as good as the cfm s on your compressor. That's why they are always on craigslist - we all thought we were saving money by spending $100 on a blast cabinet only to find out we need to spend another $2000 on a new compressor.

    1.25 pitch is hard to find - that's why they cost $$$ from the moto guys one at a time. 1.5 thread pitch is what you get from mcmaster etc in 10 packs.

    engine rebuild - checks before I seal the cases

    Thanks for confirming most of what I suspected. as the the gear in the diagram at 4 it slides on to the splined chamfered shaft but the only thing that seems to be keeping it in place inside the case is the actual case. I am just concerned that if it shifts it could start to grind the case. I...

    First timer Rebuilding a 75b engine. following the thread along with a pile of manuals. have a couple of questions before I get ready to seal the cases. Any input would be helpful. 1. Does anything hold gear 4 on the shaft in the pic above? I looks like it could run up against the inside...

    transmission bearings?

    I am getting ready to start rebuilding my bottom end. Did a search and did not see any consensus on this... I am going to order the 5th gear and am wondering if I should do the full bearing set just to be safe? Is the quality on the mikes set good or is there a better alternative? Thanks as...
