So I assumed it was my battery which was responsible for dim lights, no E start, etc when not running...Ive always run a battery tender but I assumed due to lack of riding her, the battery faded even though 1 month ago, she started just fine. Started to diagnose if I had a draw then I said, why...

Been to busy lately to ride to even keep the battery charged, which is another subject all to itsself. So i wanted to ride a little yesterday and before I was even in second gear, I noticed no activity with the speedometer. I figured the magnets were sticky due to lack of rides but then after...

Never noticed any clutch slip but after no rides for 3 weeks, I took the bike out for a putt around the block, just to keep all things happy. Noticed some slipping while accelerating that came at much lower RPMs than I normally ride at...could this be due to inactivity? Or is it just time to...

If I run the pad shims, I notice the wavy-ness of my rotor, no shims is better but then I can hear my outside pad moving forward and back in the caliper which makes a clicking noise, so much so the clicking is bothersome at any speed. So its likely time for a new rotor but everything new and not...

So if you recall, I recently mounted an original, assumed never before mounted rack on my 76. Since then, I was looking for a small pack to mount on the rack, but I couldn't find anything I liked, either too bulky or way too small. Well while in the spare bedroom, I spotted my golf shoe bag, and...

Ever seen a disc(s) this holey....I think more material has been removed than remains? https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/mpo/d/rocklin-1979-yamaha-xs650-street-tracker/7156023502.html

Might try my hand at doing some small parts powder-coating, anybody done a gauge cup before? If so, I feel the shade is somewhere between Satin Black and Semi-Gloss Black, opinions?

Was wondering what the clicking sound was at low speed i was hearing. Come to find out, it is my outside Front brake pad moving around in the caliper, and when the pad "handle" touches the calipet, it makes a tinny clicking sound. The inside pad is under much more tension, thus not able move...

Just started riding after my elbow grease restoration...one of my fork seals is leaking at a good rate. Why can a new seal leak, poor install? I lifted up my cap and under was the max amount of standing oil on the horizontal surfaces and ridges after i found the small puddle on the garage floor...

Does it stop well before the grip, and get progressively harder along the way? Or does it go all the way to the grip, with little increase in resistance even though the front pads are firmly placed against the rotor? New pads, new SS brake line, new MC that MM assures me is appropriate, even...

Once my new brake line shows, I won't have any excuse not to mout my new M/C but, my style of bars drops a bit at the end and as such, the M/C will be at a notable angle. Is there any concern regarding brake fluid always being near or above the lid seal? Of course it should have enough to never...

Just like it sounds, I took factory 76 airbox's, removed the unnecessary material which left me with a much smaller portion, cut the top off, cut pieces of aluminium to close up the open end, drilled holes to match the other end and of course had to polish! Found some sticky backed thin felt to...

I prefer the rectangular vs round, saw these on this bike in this article. Look plenty tall and wide enough so I dont end up staring at my own shoulders. https://www.motorcycleclassics.com/from-the-owner/1976-yamaha-xs650c-zmmz13ndzbea Thanks

I've thought it would be nicer to have more side visibility as night, so I mounted side LED's where the reflectors go. I took power off the top of the rear fender wiring junction, and just grounded to the frame attachment point. Because the stock reflector is 5m and the reflector is 6m, I needed...
