Stock sprocket size is my favorite. It drives just fine at a sustained 60 mph and acceleration is good enough to keep me interested.
It’s a very interesting collectible. Parts peculiar to the bike will present a challenge. I think it’s worth slightly more than nothing in its current state. It would be worth a few hundred more in decent condition. It could be a few thousand restored, but there’s no money to be made doing it.Finally got time to stop at my neighbors regarding what he thought was a 650 yamaha. I was wrong about it being in a shed. It has been sitting outside for years, but appears to be 90% there. It will need a full restoration. Motor is seized. It is a TX750. He has the registration. Are parts available and do you guys think it's worth restoring?

One of my older brothers has one from newI have to find time to get back over there to see how the swing arm and stuff look. Lots going on at the moment. My house is up for sale and if I do get it I'd have to find storage for it until it is pieced apart. If it was an XS it would already be home haha

O'ring (packing) is all you need, but you need new ones. Packing or gasket is an either or situation, not both.Good morning everyone,
I have not been able to ride in a few weeks, but while out in the garage getting things ready to go camping I noticed some more oil on the front of the engine. I did some investigating and believe it is coming from the front rocker covers. I took one cover off and there was no gasket. There is an o-ring on the inside of the cover. Correct me if I am wrong, but shouldn't there be a gasket as well?
Thanks,
Tim
@gggGary may still have them. He is the quickest source, by far.Thanks Jet. I will look for new o-rings
