Thanks Grinder, I'll take a look.

I've read all of the threads in this topic and still can't come to a conclusion. After ongoing ignition issues since buying my 75B, some of which I posted about on this forum, I'm finally springing fo ...

Thanks for the tips. I'll spray bot the kill and ignition switches.

It started out as a slight, what seemed to me, miss but it's gotten worse and like I say the bike will actually quit altogether n ...

Had my 75 running real well then just out of the blue it developed a miss/cut out where it momentatily quits, very suddenly and then starts running again just as quickly. In my experience it's not a f ...

Thanks for the comments. I'm getting ready to head off to work and I can elaborate more later but my experiance with the ...

They're ruining eBay for international orders, those lights are $80 to Canada. I was recently going to buy a seat on eBay and it was going to cost $200 to get it over the border. They just can't be bo ...

Hi-I need a seat for my 75 and I'm not having any luck digging one up. Can anyone help, I'd like a stock one rather than a recovered one as I'll be showing the bike and would like the original gold co ...

Anyone have or have a lead on a nice 650B seat. Happy to pay a decent price and shipping of course. Don't want recovered seat, would like one with the gold YAMAHA lettering on the back, it's for a bi ...

I thought they all did that!! I have the same rattle.

Thanks I appreciate the offer and may take you up on it. I could have used help with my timing issue but after a few days of tinkering, reading, and experimenting I think I have it figured out.

Let ...

Taco -funny but true although I had a Norton that was worse, I never made it home without having lost part of the bike.

I wish I had of had an XS before this!! More fun and easier to work on........now 'bout the shaking.

I always used the dead cylinder method when tuning my British parallel twins with good results and now I do it on my 650. I adjust the mixture screws on each cylinder for maximum RPM at idle, then syn ...

Not that anyone ask but.................

Okay, got it right. Thanks to everyone that posted, I tried everything that everyone said, inspected all the parts again and again but could find nothing wrong. I ordered new parts from Mike yesterday ...

Not a jerk, I appreciated your advice. It's frustrating for me because everything looks fine, no wear at all but as you say there's not much to it with few parts. For $100 I can replace the whole thin ...

I agree it's a pretty simple system but that doesnn't mean it's always simple to diagnose and retify problems, look at the number of posts here and on other forums in respect to this issue. Thanks to ...

Yes, both cylinders the same.

I'm mechanically inept and would buy a Pamco if it was simply a bolt on operation but I'm not into fabricating brackets, clamps, etc. I've always resisted changing any of my bikes from points but aft ...

Pamco, I have two coils, I know because I changed the plug wires yesterday. I too was concerned about the coil's duty cycle and overheating which is the only problem I can see with it. I've had britis ...

I took a picture and I'll try and post it. I even inspected the advance mechanism with a magnifying glass and see no evidence of wear whatsoever and everything seems to function OK. I redid the points ...

Bingo, that's the answer to the point issue. Wonder if it can harm anything or should I change it, it's only $15!! That shouldn't affect the timing though should it?

Timing at idle was right between the two marks. As you would expect from a low mileage bike all the ATU parts look brand new, can't see any wear at all. Thanks for the responses, I'll take another loo ...
