My other daughter was getting lessons yesterday on the little red bike. She had her gear on which may or may not have helped when it tipped over sideways on her while stopped. I guess her foot got caught. Either way, no issues, and I like to think that at least the footwear helped. At the same...

Wow! A lot of good ideas here! I love it.

To revive an old thread instead of starting a new one. The bike is running good and smooth now. I never got the rear brake working to my satisfaction, but it did function. The speedo I had a spare of and threw it in fixing that. The clutch seal was replaced, but still leaks, the rod looked good...

Old thread, but for similar questions. Normal Sportster takeoffs, with adapters and a hanger would answer this last post.

I always wondered about that.

Why? While the 750 is not as common I think you can hardtail about any bike.

The master cylinder. It only moves as far as the dark line on the shaft. The brakes are on then, but not strong enough to do much. When I depress it the just past that it locks solid. Linkage from the rear. Not very revealing. I will try for a better one. From the top. Again not very good. I...

I am hunting parts for this now.

I cleaned it out while I was reassembling the bike. The piston moves freely.

Ok I know this was converted by the PO. The MC has the lever attached and appears to be this from Mike's: The rear was always weak from the moment I got the bike, but good front more than made up for it. Now, I want to fix this. I looked it over really well tonight and found that the linkage is...

Ok the clutch seems to be moving freely now. When I went to do the brakes I found that the front MC pulls as much as it pushes. I figure it is time for a rebuild/replacement. I didn't touch the rear yet.

Thanks. I will check it this weekend when I swap sprockets to taller gearing

I am my unit's Motorcycle Mentorship Program Representative. All riders in my unit take their lead from me supposedly. I am supposed to be the epitomy of the rules about riding in the Marine Corps. So it would be REALLY bad for my career to be caught by that one obvservant LEO. Not to mention I...

Ok all notorized by an Officer and will be going out with the unit mail tomorrow. A couple weeks to get the bugs worked out before I can bring her to work and back a few times for testing. Until then I will be in my little culdesac enjoying the nostalgic value of my first bike under me again...

Thank you. Soon to be legal and on the road! I am trailering 3 of my bikes up to Deals Gap July 26 as part of a family vacation, and hope to have this be one of them. My wife can use it for that.

Ok so now that it is running, I have a bit of a titling issue. The whole situation is easy to resolve, but I filling out forms without the title infront of me I also can't locate a VIN on the bike. So I get a text saying the VIN is 477716149. This is a '77 XS650 so no special or any other items...

I will be swapping pads this weekend, and bleeding everything during the week. I think I may have to replace the rear MC, but we will see if the pads/bleeding help out.

I know I will have the single working. It is just one of those things on the list to try later. After all, why not have a little extra! Yeah if the lube doesn't work by the time I get home today, I might. For now I am letting it soak so to speak.

Nope. A modified '77. I got her off the original owner who had upgraded allot on her. Paid $500 for my first bike and got literally a pick up bed full of parts to go with her. I can't begin to list the swaps, but the only one I want to add is dual front brakes now. She has paid her dues as my...
