Well guys....i have a new problem with my rebuild...i need to change the headlight bulb and cant figure out how to get it out. I had to take the glass lens out to get to the bulb and when I tried to pull it out...just the glass came out....the bulb body stayed in there. I doesnt seem to unscrew or anything. I mangled the bulb body trying to get it out and it wont come out. Do I have to replace the whole assembly where the bulb goes in or is it just the bulb that I can replace. If anyone has had to replace the bulb on their rt1 please let me know how to do it....Thanks!!!!!

ok...the plates were very stuck together...I got them cleaned up...put back in and the clutch works great!!!! Thanks for the help guys!!!!

Okay guys, I have a 71 RT1 360 that I just got running after a 7 year slumber and a new top end but i cannot get the clutch to work properly. When I pull the lever the cable pulls up which turns the push rod actuator in and out. Now when I put it in gear and I pull the clutch lever, the clutch doesnt disengage so the bike can roll freely. I am not 100% sure on how to check this to make sure its working properly. If I take the clutch cover off and pull the clutch lever what should I see happening? What do I need to look for? Since the push rod is not moving am I damaging the push rod actuator when I pull the clutch lever? HELP!!!!!

Got the piston and rings in and the bike is running...thanks for everyone's help!!!

I checked it again and it is a 75 and 8025 that is stamped on the top. I tried to post a pic on here but it didnt work!

after measuring with a micrometer.....the inside diameter of the cylinder is 80.35mm and the piston is 80.15mm to 80.25 mm. So I am thinking that this piston is a .25os. Now I know that there needs to be about a .35 or less difference between cylinder wall and piston. Would it be safe to say that this is a .25os piston....i dont want to say the other guys are wrong but I dont want to purchase the wrong size piston ya know!!! Thanks

Hey Guys, I have been rebuilding an RT1 360 for a while now and I am at the point of replacing the piston and rings. The cylinder wall looks good so I just want to put the same size piston and rings in but I am having trouble identifying the size of the piston. On the top of the piston, next to the arrow it has a #75 stamped in it. Opposite of that is #8025. Can anyone tell me if this is a standard (stock) piston or is it an oversized piston. Thanks!!!

Hey guys, I have just recieved a 1973 RT-1 360 that is in a rebuild stage. This bike was my fathers which he bought new in 73' and he passed away in 2005. So I am trying to restore this bike to working condition and it needs a ton of work. I am looking to replace a lot of the part with new ones, but I am having a hard time finding web sites that have what I need. For starters I need a new gas tank and a seat. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Kelley.
