    XJ750 dying

    The hanging idle seems to be all better, but good point, probably wouldn't hurt to sync again especially now that I've changed that one shim.

    Ditching the Atari gauge (Seca)

    I have a 750 SECA and it has an electronic tach. I put J&PCycles "Mini" gauges on mine and like them, decent gauge for a sane price.
