HI all I am a member of this forum and I just finished my xs400 dohc build (not really ever done). The xs was my first build, and I had to have another. I wanted something unique and fun to ride. I searched for a while and a couple of months ago I found a 1975 RD 250 non-running. I am so excited...

Does anyone know if the RD250/350 wheels are interchangeable with the early XS models? I want to get a front drum brake wheel and I have found a few for the xs 400 but cant seem to find any that are specifically for the RD. Can anyone shed some light on this one?:thumbsup:

Hi all I have a 1975 RD 250 and it has a front disc and I want to put a Front hub on it. Im almost positive these wheels are interchangeable. ANy takers?

Hey all. I was wondering if there are any fabricators out there that want to build a 2 into 1 carb manifold for me. My budget would be right around $100. I know this is a small amount, but I just want to check if anyone is willing to do it before I buy new carb boots. My boots have seemed to...

Cleaning a set of carbs and I dipped them and the black paint fell off and there was a strange film on the inside of the carb when I wipe it with my finger. Two questions 1) Can I leave my carbs bare or do they need to be recovered 2)What is this weird film on my carbs?

Ok so I have straight pipes and pod filter. Tuning my carbs with different setups. Right now I have a 135 main. stock is 127.5 and 117.5. Please dont worry about the stock jets sizes being different this has been well debated on other threads. The pilot is the stock size I realize this needs to...

Hi all. I am building a wiring harness and using parts of the stock harness. I am trying to figure out how to get rid of the safety start relay. I figured out to get rid of the side stand relay all you need to do is clip the blakc/white wire from the ignition. The idea of the relay is when...

So I noticed awhile back in my manual that the main jet sizes are different for the left and right. I have read that the left cylinder runs leaner so it needs a bigger jet, but why? Also why is the difference for my bike #10 and the german version of my bike only has a difference of #2.5

Hey all, I am going to clean and grease my hubs today. They are pretty nasty. Not sure what the part is called, I think its called the speedo drive. Anyway its the part of ths speedo that on the hub. It is filthy. How should I clean this. Can I throw it in a bucket of chemdip? Should I scrub it...

Hey guys so this might seem like a dumb question, but can I put my flasher relay before the turn signal switch, or do I have to get two different flasher relays and mount them after the switch?

Hi all. I started a different build thread but I read threw it the other day and the thread is all over the place. Im starting this one to keep it more organized and clutter-free. So here is the story, I build and restore bicycles, and was getting bored of it, so I decided to graduate to a...

Hey everyone I have an 82 seca dohc. It has 18" rims front and back. I kind of want a white wall tire, because it would look killer on my build, but more than anything I care about performance. I have read a few posts about tires, but just want to hear more. I will probably ride this bike...

SO I am building a custom exhaust and cut my mufflers off. I cant for the life of me decide which one is the left and which one is the right. They are labeled 1 and 2. Im pretty sure 1 is left and 2 is right. Can anyone shed some light?

Hey guys, I just tore apart my front brake master cylinder, and there was a lot of nastyshit in the reservoir. The cylinder seems to working. How can I make sure it is working, and was is the best technique/product to clean the lines and reservoir. Thanks

Hey guys I was organizing all of my stuff and random parts today, and I found a rear mountain bike shock that would make a great seat shock for a bobber/chopper. It is definitely stiff and rigid enough to be the only shock on the seat. I want $60, but I will entertain offers. This shock came off...
