Hey guys, Anyone have an issue with the battery terminal getting hot? My first suspicion is the negative terminal may have been in contact with the seat frame causing some resistance. Not trying to roast the old chestnuts here. Bike runs fine when it gets a steady electrical signal otherwise...

Anyone know if there is anything I can do with a leaking fuel tank? Petcocks seem okay but fuel is seeping down from the seat area, down from the front of the tank. 73 tx650. Not sure if this is even fixable. Any resources to replace this or fix it? The bike is running superb so this is a real...

Hey guys, I was hoping you could give me some insight into an intermittent starting issue I'm having. It usually occurs after it is all warmed up and I go to a store or something for 10 minutes and when I come out it won't kick start and I have to pop it. After I get it going it runs normal.The...

Hello, I am having a nagging drip from my carb that just won't go away. Cleaned carbs thoroughly and changed valve needle seat along with 24mm float height. What am I missing here? 1973 TX650 Gas was coming out of overflow but is now seeping out of bowl and dripping off the flat plate facing...

Hello, I set the Dwell reading on my bike to 23 on the 4 cylinder setting and it seems to be running worse. The timing is a bit behind using a timing light and when I try and reach the "F" the bike will die and not idle. Any ideas where to start on this? Thank you.

I was just wondering, from anyone who's done this, if I can remove the advance rod without taking out the advance unit? My weights aren't returning properly and there is a dry metal sound when I rotate them so I think I only need to polish and lube the rod (phrasing?) without replacing the...

Hey guys. New to this site but I've been perusing it religiously for a while. My battery is going dead. I did the "slap" test with a wrench on the outer stator cover and no dice on a magnetic pull. My battery is at 12.7 volts so it's not the issue. Pulled the brushes and they're an okay length...
