I’m sorry, I’m new here - I don’t know what you mean.

Buttoned up the clutch cover, having installed new plates and springs, plus single piece alloy throw rod, and went for a ride in the winter sun. Maybe it stiill needs a lot of bedding in - behaving better than it did before, but not a miracle cure. Hard to find the right place between slip and...

Sorry to have troubled you - the resource was already there. Of course.

Can anybody direct me to a possible lip on the sump filter plate that I could pry against without damaging the mating surfaces? Barnfind bike has been static for maybe 36 years - plate not keen on coming off.

So maybe you haven't been given the original tach, then.

Brake lining light (on my 74) is connected to a wear indicator built into the rear brake - lets you know when the cam has rotated too far because of wear to the linings on the brake shoes. Stop lamp light (again on mine) is triggered by hydraulic pressure to the front (switch is in that weird...

Thanks for this - the Otahuhu outfit now charge $1000 plus GST for a pair...

Still got any? New member, late to the party...Would PM you but don't have the credentials yet.

There are indeed, but online reports suggest it'll cost twice as much as aftermarket replacements, so...

Hi guys, new forum member, new TX owner in Auckland New Zealand, hoping to draw on the wisdom of the group. My particular 1974 has been quite neglected for some time, but I’m cleaning it up and getting it back on the road. The main issue ahead of any inspection is that the fork legs are so...
