    Q: 1977 GS750B clutch

    Hi all, a quick question on the clutch for my 1977 GS750B. Ok, local dealer tells me that the clutch springs, fibres and metals are only suited to this model? Is this true?? I have a 1979 GS750LN parts bike but I have not stripped the motor out as yet. My clutch springs are starting to...

    VM26ss carby rack, tidying up other parts

    lol, unfortunately I do Ed. Well it is only 5km as the crow flys lol I looked at both the throttle shafts I have on my original VM's and the ones from my donor (1979 750LN) and neither look like they are/were hard chromed. The both look like zinc :'( I could get one set hard chromed when...

    VM26ss carby rack, tidying up other parts

    Thanks Ed, I wasnt sure what finish they were originally. Mine have been in the weather (probably for many years before I got it) and I guess that at 34yo, well the finish is gone lol. If they were originally zinc plated chrome should be OK too?? I think from memory that coating thickness...

    VM26ss carby rack, tidying up other parts

    Gday all, just wondering if anyone has ever gone down the path of chroming things such as the accelerator shaft, choke shaft and throttle stop (idle adjuster screw)?? Im just curious as mine are starting to look a bit "old" and doggy.

    FYI: Photos of exhausts / mufflers / pipes (add yours too)

    Well I recently asked a question about exhausts, more specifically mufflers, so I thought it would be beneficial to start a post specifically for muffler/ exhaust/ pipe info where we could put pictures of various types of exhausts for the benefit of others. Feel free to add your own pictures of...

    Q: GS750B muffler

    Thanks for that. I thought about making something up but It is punched metal, lots of litle holes I hope to get some photos up soon of the 2 mufflers. Also, how does the different metals go for galvanic reaction?? The casing is alloy, the baffle is (probably) mild steel coated in...

    Typical Air Pressures for Tires??

    I can also add that it is very important that you use the same tyre pressure gauge to take each reading. It is well worth it to buy a GOOD QUALITY one, and you can get ones that read half PSI increments (look at quality automotive and racing stores) Also, every time you take the pressures...

    Newly rebuilt Carbs... Lots of WHITE smoke!

    and with compression test, you should just hold the throttle on full, do ALL cylinders dry, then squirt 25-30ml of clean engine oil into each cylinder (immediately before you re-do the compression test) and that will give you an indication of the condition of the rings.

    Newly rebuilt Carbs... Lots of WHITE smoke!

    Its definitely oil burning, probably fuel in the sump or stuck/broken rings from your updates. If its stuck rings then I have previously and successfully soaked them with a mixture of kerosene and diesel. To do this I have simply left the old oil in the engine and squirted about 50ml -100ml...
