    Extremely Difficult to Roll XS750 In Neutral

    It’s much more difficult to roll it backwards than forwards, enough that the front of the bike ends up lifting up when I try pulling it back. Bike has no problem taking off when it’s in gear.

    Xs750 Rear Shocks Replacement

    Hi all, I’m wondering if any of y’all have experience with replacing/upgrading the shocks on an XS750. The shocks that come stock on the bike handle like a waterbed, as they were designed for touring. I wouldn’t trust this bike to do any touring with, so I’m looking for something a little...

    Anyone Have RS36 Carbs for XS750?

    Wanted to see if anyone on here has experience with the RS36s, I'm looking to replace the stock CVs with the set from Mikunioz. If anyone does have them; What's the mileage like? were they really bolt-on ready, or did you have to tune them? How's the power?

    XS750 Starter Motor Power Draw

    I’ve noticed that no matter the battery, even if it’s being boosted, this thing really doesn’t like starting when I use the starter. I was wondering if that’s a result of bad coils, (this model doesn’t run on points) or if it’s just because old starter systems weren’t designed great. Keep in...

    XS750 Backfiring But Not Starting

    Hello everyone, Just like the title says, when I crank the bike it’ll make some loud pops but it won’t start. After cranking it for a long time it will start and idle fine, but obviously that’s not ideal. When I’m cranking it it stinks of unburnt gasoline. Spark is all good, fuel is new.

    XS 750: A Tale of Carb Rejetting Woes

    Hi everyone, I wanted to make this post for my fellow XS 750 owners. Although seemingly few and far between on the internet (R.I.P. Yamaha Triples.org), I want to make this post as an overview of the modifications I made to the intake and exhaust on my bike. Intake Filters: Uni Pro pod...

    1979 XS750 won't start without starting fluid

    Hi all, As the title says, my bike won't run unless I hit it with a little bit of starting fluid. Once the bike is warmed up, it starts no problem, no starting fluid required. Don't worry, I've only used starting fluid on it a few times to try and tune it. Obviously the bike is running too...

    Xs 750 won’t start after exhaust and intake modifications

    Hi all, back again after putting on new pods and a much less restrictive exhaust. I upped the jet sizes by 2 first, which resulted in a little bit of sputtering when I cranked it. I figured it still wasn’t getting enough gas, so I upped the main by 4 and pilots by 3. Now it doesn’t even sputter...

    1979 Xs750 Rejetting: Pod filters and a Delkevic exhaust.

    Hi everyone, this is my first post about my first ever motorcycle, hoping to get some help from yall! The previous owner of this bike had the genius idea to gut the stock exhaust (I guess a loud engine that runs like trash was what he was after) without doing any tuning or rejetting. I could...
