The local junkyard has a '74 tx750 and I was curious if the speedo drive on the front wheel would work for my '75 xs650B. Thanks in advance

I'm in the process of servicing my clutch worm because finding neutral has been a royal pain. When I pulled the pushrod out to grease it I noticed that there seemed to be some wear on the end. Is this normal? My bike is a '75 and the worm has the ball bearing in it but I don't have anything...

I've been enjoying quite a few bike rides lately until I noticed that my tail light wasn't illuminated one night. The brake light works fine however. I took out the bulb and it looked fine but I replaced it anyhow, but that still didn't solve the issue. While riding during the day I quickly...

Need a measly little speedo drive for my '75, mines all locked up. Not exactly sure what years all work for this.

I'm replacing my old cracked front tire. The one on there now is 3.25/3.60 S19. A friend has a tire that he's giving me that is a 3.25/85 H19. As I understand it the only difference between the sizes (and obviously the speed rating) is that the old tire has roughly a 90% height ratio and the...

Idaho's annual vintage motorcycle show was on display today (http://www.idahovintagemotorcycleclub.org/). Some fantastic bikes were on display this year. I shot a couple of photos and thought I would share a couple. Here are a couple xs'.

FOUND I'm trying to mount up the stock exhaust but my passenger pegs are missing the exhaust hanger attachment. I believe it is all one piece unless I'm mistaken. I have some really nice powdercoated passenger pegs without the hanger if someone wanted to trade. I believe the only years that...

So I recently splurged and got myself an AGM battery with a 2 year warranty. The battery has been working fine up until now. Well I accidentally left the lights on and drained the battery. I used jumper cables and got the bike to start but it wouldn't stay charged. I looked up AGM batteries...

Well I've finally got my xs on the road after a long struggle. Now its time to dial it in. While riding I've noticed a couple of things. Firstly, it seems to wander ever so slightly while riding. When I'm riding and I take a hand off, the bars seem to wiggle enough to make it feel somewhat...

After reading into the recent oil change thread and having recently got my bike up and running I decided to check my sump filter. To my surprise it looked great. Well when I put it back on I happened to snap one of the six screws. I've never really dealt with this situation before. I assume...

So my carbs are in perfect sync and the bike runs great. I happened to see a used carb for sale as I was browsing other stuff and noticed something. There are three hoses on the inside of the carbs, all three of which are connected to the inside nipples of the other carb. Well the photo of...

So I haven't started my bike in a couple of weeks. Went outside and started it up first kick. Then I realized my left carb is leaking like a mofo. Seems like it is coming out of the intake (air filter seems to be leaking gas) and not just a small drip, but a steady stream. Bike didn't have...

So I've had my '75 xs650b in the shop for almost 6 months now. Not really sure what to do at this point. I've kept good contact with the mechanic, who was referred to me by a friend who had his sr500 fixed by him, and the shop is also the oldest yamaha dealer in the state. Well realizing that...

I need the flexible steel brake line that screws into the caliper as well as the lower brake line and bolt. Let me know if you have anything sitting around. Thanks

Looking for a rack and sissy bar for my xs650b. I believe only rack/sissy bar combos that fit '74 or '75 models will work.

I have a small cut (about an inch) on the top of my seat. What is the best way to fix this?

Getting ready to order some handlebars on mikesxs. Not sure if I want the european, superbike, or possibly the daytona bars. Pics would be great. Thanks.

I am almost finished putting the new wiring harness in. I have 9 wires left. I have a pink and brown which I'm pretty sure go to the horn which doesn't exist on my bike (yet). Two others which are the ones pictured with the two arrows pointing to them on the left. Pretty sure these go to the...

Here is how she looked when I purchased her On my way to an amateur restoration. Most everything should end up being year appropriate except for the color and handlebars.
