Thank You TwoMany, I do have the 1-piece pushrod, as it is a 75xs650B. I will have to check the clutch screw and make sure it checks out OK. I am taking it for a nice long ride today so I will report back any oil leakage. Hopefully I'll get lucky on this as nothing else has seamed to gone...

So I know this thread is old, but I finally had time to change out the pushrod seal. My question/comment is when I removed the old seal, there was no bushing behind it. I went to "Yamaha speed and sport" (bloomsburg PA) one of the biggest vintage yamaha parts dealers and talked to their...

Also, since i have read to buy multiple seals, is there any special technique or tips to replacing them?

Thanks, so the first pic is then the pushrod seal im gathering. Also, my sprocket nut was not the tightest so i did retorque that but i could see oil coming from the pushrod seal. Its also dripping by the entrance from the shift lever but could not tell if there is an oil seal there or not due...

Hey guys, I have a 75 xs650 thats been slowly leaking oil out the left side. So I finally got some time to take the left side cover off and take a look at it. It appears to be coming from the clutch pushrod seal, but I could not find this part anywhere in my manuel so I just wanted to confirm...

Seller had great communication up until the money was sent for a 75 tank Money was sent through paypal as a gift and now i cannot file a claim because the money was not sent for goods or service. Haven't heard from this loser since the money was sent and that was November 30th. So now i'm out...

very nice bike, have a 650B myself and thinking about doing the same restoration in a year or two so am anxious to see how yours turns out! Good luck.

PM on Carbs. Thanks

+1 for that statement

Well, I called the Lady and told her I would take it. She told me to call the next day that she was busy right now and we would set up a time I could come pick it up. So I call the next day and she tells me her husband sold it to someone else while she was at work..... Great communication...

Thanks for that heads up patches, i figure a titled frame is at least $200 right? plus i can tinker with that one to see how my running one works! He said he rode it 15 years ago, got married and its been parked since. so im assuming it has compression, do i check this by just hitting the...

Have the opportunity to buy another 75 xs650, was stored in a barn for the last 15 years, has 20,000 miles and a clear title! Asking $400. Bike is located 2 1/2 hours from me and they have no pictures to send but say the bike is complete with surface rust from sitting but not terrible...

Thanks for all the information, now that i know what it is I can start looking around for a new piece! So this is not anything serious then? oil leakage is quite minimal
