I know there aren't too many on here in my are. But, can anyone help me find a machine shop? I'm about to tear down my 750 engine and need to...
Re: Swap engines or almost everything else? Which would you Thanks to all for the input. I guess I'll dive in and do it right.
I started this engine swap today. Came off the parts bike and onto the bench fairly easily. I'm planning to check/adjust valve clearances and...
We definitely need some pics.
Nope. Just the exhaust from the headers back.
Re: Swap engines or almost everything else? Which would you I've got titles to both, but neither is tagged or inspected.
STOP!! Don't ever get under your bike to work on it! It's foolish and not necessary anyway. The oil pump is the lowest point of the engine and...
Bike 1: All parts good except engine - Broken primary chain guide and possible tranny problem. Never drove this bike, but it started easily and...
maz43 Which YICS tool did you build? I've seen a few versions here. Any pics of your fab work on either/both of those tools?
maz43 Any pics of your fab work on the tools? I'm working on some myself.
Where ddid you get the risers? Custom?
Oh yeah - That's what it is! I guess it's better that I found out now, not after I put some shiny new clutch parts in it and rode it for a while....
Anyone have an idea what this UFO is? It may not even matter at this point. I suppose the fix would mean breaking the case down. At which...
Hey Ledicott96, Do you have to pull your V&H to drain oil or change filter without hosing down the header with oil?
Thanks bigfitz52 for embedding the photos. I couldn't figure out how to do that. I should have included something for scale in my photos, but...

If it's not going to damage anything by not reinstalling the clutch first, I'll give it a shot. Thanks.
Bike has 16K. I checked the compression years ago when I bought it. I don't recall the results, other than a local shops' opinion that they were...
Re: clutch plates stuck? w/pics http://s1136.photobucket.com/albums/n483/thomastx1/ Thanks, Fitz. I added a link to some photos. The bike did...
Do these signal something more serious than normal wear? I tried to attach some photos, but I don't think it worked. My pressure plate was...
Good point. I'll order the plates, etc. ordered. I'm just in a hurry to get on the road. I suppose it's pointless if doesn't last. Too late on...
I too my clutch cover off. The clutch was seized and the wafer bearing was ripped apart. I seperated all the plates and cleaned them up a little....
Tell me if I've got this right. To adjust the clutch throwout: Remove the lever, rotate the shaft clockwise, hold it there and re-install the...
Thanks guys. I hope you're right! This clutch stuff is a little confusing to me, but I'll give it a try.
I've got the same problem with a 750 Maxim that sat for 6 years. Did some research here and will try to change the postition of the throw-out...
