    Polaris SH775 Opinions??

    thanks for the lesson i think?! I'm going to keep this build simple i think and just go stock. I have a completely dismantled 650 in the shed that will get the full cafe experience next winter.

    Polaris SH775 Opinions??

    Nessism thanks that's good food for thought. I'm not married to the LI-ION, just looking at ideas to make an electronics box where my air box would have been and the size makes a big difference.

    That's awesome thanks. I have a complete parts bike in the shed as well l, that is where I took the carb that I will be jetting eventually. I did find some nitrile Orings on Amazon and princess auto that would do the trick. Thanks again for the documents

    carb rebuild kit

    As I posted that, I was thinking of exactly this as a response lol, yes I've read all your links many times over and damn it, I knew better but did it anyway. Lesson learned, once again your absolutely right. Guess I rationalized it knowing I was going to rejet anyway but I do wish the transfer...

    carb rebuild kit

    Spare carbs are from my 81 gs650 parts bike completely pulled apart in boxes, easy grab.

    carb rebuild kit

    So I fully expect some slack for this but being still new here let it rip. I'm half way through my rebuild on my 81 gs650 cafe racer. I have a spare carb so thought I'd rebuild it and pod it since i already had the pods sitting in the shop (queue first strike) so I went and order a rebuild kit...

    GS550 Valve Clearances

    Hmm, I just did this on my 81 650GS and thought I was good to go, followed the book, which looks something like what Nessism posted above. Should I be concerned that I am too tight? Intake 1 - 4: 0.03, 0.06, 0.07, 0.05 and exhaust 0.07, 0.05, 0.04, 0.06 I figured being in the book range of...

    Another charging issue...

    I put a new clutch cable in today, fixed my choke cable and tightened up the rear suspension so decided to go for a rip and did not do the full voltage test. I did however measure my battery before starting and came back after 35km with a nicely fully charged battery so i guess cleaning up the...

    stiff clutch issue

    new clutch cable came in, I installed it using a slightly different route to minimize arc and compensate for handlebars. Result is much better, smoother right out the gate but still a little tight compared to my Kawasaki (maybe i should change that one also but that is for another day/forum...)...

    Another charging issue...

    Jim, I was wrong in my original assumption that the output went directly to the battery. I measured this morning off the bullet to the battery and saw about 0.15V on average, it was a little choppy. I did revert back to the aftermarket R/R the previous owner put on and measured what was supplied...

    Another charging issue...

    @Nessism​ I hooked up as per the drawing and measured an average of 0.15Vdc but it was pretty choppy so might be some badish wiring in there, thanks for that. I also measured from that R/R bullet to battery gnd as @pdqford​ indicated above once the bike was warmed up and did see voltages sitting...

    Another charging issue...

    thanks Ed I can look at ordering that, shame I’m in BC, that seller is not too far from my old man’s place. You mentioned …” you will know that the problem isn’t the R/R” know I’ve read a lot of your comments and this forum, do you think I’m going the wrong way?

    Another charging issue...

    I pulled that loop and isolated those wires, I have my meter fastened directly to the battery, am I wrong to think the R/R line feeds back directly there as well?

    Another charging issue...

    Hi all, I know I know, another charging issue, let me start by saying yes I have read everything there is on this forum and bikecliff there is about stators and R/Rs, I am also a technologist so know my way around electrical systems. So with out further hobbling about posting, I have an 81...

    what did you wrench on today??

    Mucked around with a stiff clutch and did a compression test on the newest project bike. Also at 42 years old, learned how to use flickr. IMG_0088 by LMarJ2434, on Flickr

    stiff clutch issue

    @Cipher​ thanks, that is how i noted it was routed wrong the first time, however this link with the bookmark tabs is way better than my PDF. I think where i have an aftermarket handle bar the routing might need to be different.

    stiff clutch issue

    @Rich82GS750TZ​ at risk of taking away from my current clutch issue, where do can I enter my bikes info like everyone else (IE your quick links) has so I dont have to constantly put it in every time I have an issue, I updated the biography part in settings but looks like its a signature block?

    stiff clutch issue

    @Rich82GS750TZ​ awesome thanks for that. I had to convert all the HEIC photos to work on my laptop but seems like Flickr doesnt care. Your quick links by the way were an invaluable life saver over the last few days!
