1977 V75a
Hi Ally to the forum I think those clutches work by centrifugal force low revs disconnect and a Vee belt is gradually spun out of the pulley to give a higher gear. it may rattle a bit as the fulcrum bob weights move around in the clutch. that's all I can remember about auto gears from when I was a YOOF many moons ago drewps

Disturbing
problem is kids are empowered with no moral guidence or repercussions. they know their rights and being a minor can drum up all sorts of trouble for adults. My wife runs an after school club and there are really really weird and disturbed kids out there. My wife tells the parents there's a problem (eg shitting themselves aged 8 and spreading it all over the walls etc) and say its not their child!!! WTF? no parenting skills at and only interested in their own selfish world without a child. then that parent "treats" them to a McDonalds!! I could go on but I'm getting too wound up now!!!

I followed the "minton mods" for xs650 and filled to 6" from the top, slightly harder ride but better on the brakes and road holding

Yamaha XS250 SE Special
any machine shop will put new guides in as they are standard parts and will need to be reamed to fit the valve. get the valves from motoward, granbys, fosters motomax in UK, the valves should still be listed. part # 1mo-12111-00 inlet part # 1mo-12121-01 exhaust when you get your valves take em to the machine shop to get the guides done.

exhaust balance pipe
it effectivley lengthens the exhaust pipe without making it longer. this makes it quieter. some bikes lose mid range power when this is bypassed with aftermarket exhausts (like my old cx500 i used to have) drewps
