Hey guys! So I've got a 79 xs750 that I've cafe's out and am just about done with! One of the last things I have to do is figure out the front brakes. They're bleed many times over, new pads, the calipers aren't locked up, but the brakes barely do anything if anything at all. When I pull the...

Hey guys! So I've got a 79 XS750 that I've been working on for the last year or so. I'm finally almost done with it, it's running great, fires right up, all lights and such works, fresh paint and powder coat ect....and unfortunately...that's where my problem lied. The powder coat guy got a bunch...

Hey guys! So I've got a 1979 XS750. I'm taking it down to the frame and having the frame and some other bits powder coated. I'm almost done but I can't seem to get this collar off the lower part of the triple clamp/steering stem. There was a tapered bearing over top of it that shattered when I...

Hey guys! I've got a 1979 xs750 triple who's carbs are being a little....cryptic as to what they want. Let me start by saying, the spark plugs are BLACK like it's running super rich. Compression is fine and no noises so it's not oil in the cylinder. However, it won't start without choke and the...

Hey guys, I've got a 79 xs750 that I just cleaned and rebuilt the carbs on and now, the choke wont stay on. The plungers move free as a bird but they won't stay still! I'm sure I probably just put something back together backwards or something. Any help on this would be great. Thanks guys!

Hey guys, I've got a weird one here. As soon as I have my XS750 ready to try to start, electrical gremlins read their head. I've rebuilt the starter (although I'm not convinced I did a great job 🤣) and it worked to turn the bike over to check compression and such. Then I put in new coils and...

Hey guys! I just bought a 1978 XS750 as a project bike. It was pretty stripped and the frame had been chopped for a cafe project. I got all the lights I'd need to get it back on the road, new aftermarket switches for the bars (the old ones were shot), and a bunch of other stuff. I'm having a...
