kickstarter

Hey everyone. I finally decided to get out from under my own fear of not knowing a god damned thing and ask for help. I have a '71 with a 750 big bore kit, HHB PMA, and Boyer's ignition. I bought it from a fellow last week and over the weekend dropped the engine into my bobber frame. I cut...

Summary at the bottom if too lazy to read. (Picture after heavy cleaning, picture credit: Akustaka) So I have a 1978 Yamaha XS 650 with an aftermarket magnet based charging system, to the best of my knowledge...

So I did a rephase last year, had everything sent out to Hugh's Handbuilt (did and wonderful job), and reassembled everything. Ever since then my kickstarter has been "mushy". Is there anything you should do differently when installing the kickstarter assembly after a rephase? I'm almost sure...

Issue ( 1 ) MY kickstarter wont return all the way. IM pretty sure this is just a spring issue in the clutch side. Issue ( 2 ) I was changing the shifter on my 1980, and i pushed the shift shaft pretty far in. There was already lots of play, and now, it feels disengaged. Do i need to split...

Does any one know what years kickstart shaft gear assembly that would fit a 77?
