got a question that i cant find much info on thought someone on here might know. a friend of my cousin has a 67 triumph 650 for sale i drove 2 hrs to buy it. when i got there i vetted the bike bolt on hard tail, 120 compression on both cylinders, had one carb, and felt like it was shifting...

man dunno doesnt sound like you dont have the option of under the seat,might look pretty cool haveing the exhaust on each side of the plate but you probly already got your exaust set. if ya got enough travel room might make a hoop under the exhaust and attach it there. gotta have a tail brake...

ya Iam hearing the words your keybording. frustrastion sets in dont kick the dog yet hahaha. still it sounds like an air leek somewhere. maybe you introduced some, added pods?

its all trail and eror but you can check your float level with some clear tubeing attached to the bowl nipples and bend along the side of the carb toward the top if the fuel goes higher than the lip of the carb top your def to high. iam thinking its 1mm below the lip. the symptoms your telling...

If you have the bike on the center stand oil will not come out, if using the kick stand it is tilted enough that oil will run out. are you starting the bike with the choke (enricher)on. it almost sounds as if your running out of fuel. then taking awile to fill the bowls back up. welcome to the...

i second jomama sounds like inside of hose is broke down

i ended up having to put new friction plates in, thought it cleared up at first but just kept slipping. so i pulled the cover and measered the friction pates all but one was to thin. replaced with new ones and sanded the plain plates with some 150 grit. everything is holding good so far put...

I think that when the speed limit was 55 this bike was great for the hiway mine can jump from 55 to 75 pretty quick. but at todays hiway speeds at least here in mo. on I-70 slow lane can be 75 it can make passing a big rig a little tough. personally im sticking to the biways with mine the corn...

appreciated dewpy just wanting to be sure before torqueing down.

i ended up pulling my clutch cover because it was just slipping to bad, couldnt ride like i like to. the plates mesured to thin, while waiting on the order i pulled the sump screen plate every thing looked great so went to put it back on and saw the arrow on the plate and on the screen it reads...

I agree that synthetic oil in an oler engine will clean out a false seal very quick.i know this by experiance. if your engine has not been at least overhauled,resealed, there would be a very high chance you could develop a leaker.

hate it when that happens,right after ya buy something ya find one heck of a good deal somewhere else.your bike is looking good are you keeping the mixed wheels or a mock up

sorry I had to set down the laptop to get one of my twin grandsons and the other got ahold of it anyways my grandfather always said there is a sucker born every min.

9*8*-+ 0 .1200 to me is a streach, is sounds like it still needs to be tinkerd with saying that the carbs need tuned. some bikes dont start out so cleen, mine had dents in the tank,had been in a light layover broken blinker arm.carbs needed attention.but had a title,some of the guys around...

I had the problem of my pod was the same size as my stock tubes went to the hardware store got pvc for water drain and slide it in tube then put the pods on might create small restriction on flow but made it work. clamps down tight just takes two clamps.

drewpy I can see you sittin takin a coffee break and getting insiparation, what did you find for a thermos lid. hahaha looks good.you guys commin up with cool ideas.

iam thinking it worked, i drained it with the clutch tyied open left overnight. put dello 15-40 in and took it out for some clutch work, feels like the old bike on take off still slipping a little in 5-6 but once it gets in you can give the throttle a good blip and it holds. i think every thing...

i will try it, as youall suggested. sure hopin it works. not really wanting to be down waiting on parts. have been trying to read up on it not much on here about it there is some on the 650 site, one person suggested tying the clutch lever down as to drain everything down good cant hurt.iam sure...

I am using car oil, the bike has 18,000 miles on it. the po said he was using stright 30 wt in it. the research i did suggested coventional 20 50 as i used,it did have some very slight slip in 5 and 6 gears when bought. to tell the truth wasnt hitting them gears that much as far as the handle...

my bike is slipping in high gears and doesnt seem to have any adjustment left on the handle end. i have adjusted at the case. is there something else i might be missing. if not what all do you replace .
