Hi Guys Cool thread, just thought I'd show my 76c, bought it off a guy for $1 a cc. It had been sitting in the elements for about 4 years on his front nature strip. Anyway that was about 18 years back. Started the build in 2020. Unfortunately I didn't take before pics. It runs and rides but...

HI All Got her running today, pulls hard, a bit rough at low RPM but not properly tuned yet. Problem is I'm getting a lot of crank case blow by including oil mist from the breather, this has had a top end rebuild including Shell #1 cam and mild port work and Mikuni flat slide carbs. Can anyone...

Hi Everybody It started, second kick, I ran her for about 10mins but ran out of motion lotion so now I'll have to give her a gender, there you go, she's a girl. Quiet loud but excelent note. Thanks to everybody in this great community for your many words of advice, great tech info and...

Thanks Willis I'm hangin out to start her, I bought her about 18 years ago as a complete but badly neglected pile of rust for a $1 a cc, stripped her and then forgot I had her, pulled her out of her semi buried home in my tiny shed about 2 years ago and here we are. It's funny, Mrs. Lucky hadn't...

Hi Jimbo I have a the TM34's on my build, purchased as conversion kit specific to the XS650 from Mikunioz here in Australia, getting close to first start up. Keen to hear how you go with yours, fitting the throttle cables has proven to be a challenge due to the dual taps being so close, I think...

I wish I had taken a pic at that stage, you have to start some ware, what's your vision?

Hi OFA I'll try and find the thread in hear about a larger plug gap let you know, BTW I hope the Phillip Island trip goes off, beware the weather, usually lots of wet and windy make it pretty cold. Thanks also for the offer of the advance mechanism, unfortunately it's the hole in the cam wear...

Thanks heaps Ray, very informative, I'll be contacting the Trispark crew with the question of, do I need any part of the original advance mechanism? Mine has a damage were the pin locates on the cam for the adv/ret mech to locate. I'll post the answer

Hi Oldfart I have just installed the same Tri Spark set up on my 76C, not ready to run yet. I'm keen to know how yours runs, what plugs do you run? and any insights you may have like plug gaps, I have read you can run a greater gap due to higher voltage spark for better mix burn.

Very cool More pictures please

Hi All I finally got my front brakes working from complete rebuild of front calipers on my twin disk 76C, I had bought new MC, braided lines T junction, inline switch and a caliper rebuild kit from Geoff's XS here in Aus, interesting to find that the pistons were 0.05mm over size meaning they...
