Not on a 650/750. The 650 has 6 pins on one connector, 4 on another. Two pins, one on each, are not used. I can rebuild the 650/750 TCI's if...
Do some research on battery recommendations, you will find PLENTY of fodder. I've used all types with good results from all.
Molded Black Plastic???! Rotor Strikes???! It sounds like you are looking at the ignition coil pickups, not the alternator brushes. What size is...
Some consolance Auto, it is a very common lesson. Ride safe bro.
I'm with the gang, your battery is most likely your issue. Start at the top: 1. Check the battery, fluid topped off (distilled water ONLY),...
Regarding your TCI, have you checked all of the associated ground connections for the ignition system? One for the coils, one below the voltage...
Give it just a bit more before you throw in the towel. You aren't dead yet, take that casting over to the machine/welding shop and get it...
Give McMaster-Carr a shot. They have all kinds of O-rings available and some very informative charts to help guide you in your selection. You can...
Without sounding too calous, you really ought to upgrade the suspension. For your comfort and safety as well as hers.
I've seen this a few times. The plastic filter sock shrinks if it is allowed to dry out. You can try to spike it back into place with a punch but...
I've got one of those units if you need a specimen Chacal! I'll need to pull it out to see if the stock o-ring will work. Class tomorrow and...
Change the oil and filter. Jump the bike off of a car battery so long as the car is NOT running.
I'd like to hit you up for a set of the turn indicators. Any chance my airbox is headed my way?
Good to hear you're still kicking. Keep safe and stay out of the smoke!
A vey happy birthday to you !
Welcome to you from southern California!
Welcome from southern California!
Are you using dial-up service? Not too far fetched an idea in Yuma... I think the problem is either the keyboard or you need to slow down when...
I'm sorry but I find that difficult to accept. My '81 650 Max is a New York bike and it's been registered here for over 20 years. My XT is Federal...
Dielectric grease should be fine once you get the corrosion removed, I would avoid using hot melt glue to "seal" your connectors as this will...
Take a tap and thread it. Screw a matching screw in and pop that sucker out.
Don't feel bad, I just bought my first set of bifocals today... dang I feel old.
Holy Cow YES they are TOO lean!
Don't JB Weld the fins, get them heli-arc'd back on.
Uh... you mean 0.028~0.032" gap, right SQL? I'll agree with the spark plug #.
I'll split the middle, clean the connectors and the carbs for good measure.
Most likely you still have a huge air bubble trapped in the caliper. PITB but it is all to common. If you can move the piston with a bit of...
I would be leery of the JB Weld repair if the surfaces of the aluminum have been exposed to oil. The pourous nature of the aluminum (sorry, even...
Sure looks like the right one. Your stock cotton gauze types do NOT require oiling, you will ruin them if you do. The aftermarket units (UNI,...
Howdy! You ought to try our resident parts expert, Chacal. He has his own forum, Supporting Vendor. Get in touch with him about a replacement...
Howdy and welcome. A picture is worth a thousand words, try to post one. I'm fairly sure someone here will give you a definitive answer shortly.
I'm not sure what you mean by a starter set unless you are talking about a starter specifically. Is it possible you are referring to something...
Marshallnoise, I'm PM'in' ya.
No rumor there Time, just good advice. Clean the bike well so you won't introduce any dirt into the various places you will open up. If you...
I wish that others would see the benefit of making those manuals available to the enthusists of their respective products, we might see more old...
VW guy here too, although not currently. I've built several watercooled rides (owned one truck that would pull 90mph in second!). I agree with...
Look up the How To: Ignition troubleshooting matrix that member SQLGuy wrote for your use. Use the Search button at the top left of the page. It...
Snowy, you are cruzin' for a brusin' at this rate. Fitz is righ on the money. Sure, you need to make it to work, we all do (most anyway). What you...
Holy Cheese Whiz! That must have set you back a few hundred dollars at least. Hope it is worth the effort, I'm curious to see the finished...
I'm sorry, but the electronic tach gets it's signal from the line running from the TCI. I can just imagine what the circuitry to try and take a...
What shape is the clutch assembly in? Price for assembly (including basket)? I've got a cheesy paper valve cover gasket but I think it's for a...
The little metal disk is supposed to be used to cover up the air/fuel mixture needle after you overhaul the carbs. EPA regulations require their...
I have had a similar issue. My 650 Max left me standing there a few times and all it ended up being was corrosion on the button. Open the...
Re: I need your brains (Stuttering, Elec. Issues) I wish I could offer assitance with your TCI but for your year all I can recommend is pop and...
Good advice for foam types there Ross but the K&N is not that type. Mrhuba, the K&N is a cotton filter that requires a unique formulation of...
It can be done but it is advisable to get tires that work together, i.e. similar handling characteristics and such.
Look at the top of the page, you should see a banner for xj4ever, run by our very own guru, Chacal.
#3 carb is the static carb on the 650/760 Maxim Secas. Fuel adjustment screws are located inside the top of the carbs. You most likely are...
Key locking inserts are a GREAT way to fix stripped valve cover holes (did mine right nice, stupid P.O.). Here is a link to my favorite supplier...
Either is a possible fix. I like the JB Weld idea but heaven help you if you get it in places it ought not to be. Polock's method is by far the...
