Hi All, Having problems with the clutch dragging. I have looked at the clutch info and mine ticks all the boxes. I am using GTX 20/50 oil and it seems to be the oil that is sticking the plates together. On the bench I wiped a spinner and friction plate clean and sprayed WD40 on them and with...

Engine now running and it sounds great trouble is I noticed some smoke coming from the coil on the voltage regulator. It is a 1980 engine and what I did because the wiring to the alternator was within the loom, was to take the outer cover with the bushes in off the 1980 engine and slotted the...

It's all stripped down now, apart for the engine which I'll do in the next few weeks. The only problem so far is that someone in the past has cross threaded the fork top bolt so much so that they had lowered the fork stanchion in the top yoke so that the bolt head seated on the yoke. Any idea...

New member here so I thought I'd tell you about my xs. It's a 1972 standard bike that has been imported to UK from the US. It needs a bit of work to get it on the road and I am going to sprint it next year. I can't afford to up the cc to 750, probably do that for 2011, but for now I'm going to...
