xs750 gear problems
I would say this is the most likely case. It is easy to do something like this? Im not really sure without looking at it properly how to get in there. I'm sure it must be easy, as it must happen a bit. I just havent looked into it enough. I hope its just a case to come off and i can see it. Not having to split engine or something drastic like that. I did find this page on fixing the second gear, but i dont think its broken gears. i think its just the link between the selector and gears somehow. http://bikearama.com...-triple-engine/ I just need to know how to get into it. I might figure it out for myself when i have time off work again. pic from his tutorial: http://www.flickr.com/photos/peplop/4300820689/

xs750 gear problems
Anyone on here had problems with lost gears, or gear shifter not finding all the gears? It happened while riding along at maybe 50kms. The gear shift came loose, the circlip came loose and the shift may of moved in the in or out direction. (Not sure) But i put it back on and now this: My bike is now neutral when shifter is all the way down, and i have only 3 gears, maybe 2, 3 and 4. Not completely sure. It didn't make any noise when it happened or even now. It sounds ok, but gears not right. Please advise. Here is bike:

Cheers, I cant find the indicator fault. The rear light does not come on with the head lights, the indicators dont work at all, the brake light works, but the engine warning light is on all the time, and it goes off when i pull the brake. It's mixed up somewhere. I might have to pay some guy, maybe with beers. I read the Western Australian road rules today, and if it was older than Jan '79 i wouldn't need indicators. Hand signals would do. But it was made in Feb '79. I am riding it now, it's all good if you forget the electrics for now. It rides well! Here is the latest photo anyway: (my Flickr)

Does anyone have any info on wiring diagrams, specifically the indicators and dash lights. I'm not sure what the 3 lights mean, i'm guessing the top orange one is the indicator. and the red one is engine warning, but whats the bottom one? I'm having problems with the indicators not working at all.

Hi I've started a new project a couple of months back, and im close to finishing but running into a few problems so i thought i'd start sharing my progress to get help, and maybe even help others from this experience. I'll start with a couple of pics to show what it was and where im at. It was a chopped down, sought of chopper hybrid, thing. really ruff. in massive need of some tlc. I am making it into a Cafe Racer. I have so much to learn. This is when i got it: Here it is with the new fiberglass seat ready for fitting: Just after it was painted last week(frame, tank, steering clamps, seat): Getting motor in and front end on: Now placed tank and seat onto see what it looks like: I got wheels on today, Im having problems with the wheel axel setup, as im not sure whats meant to be in there in the way of spacers... I think it was missing a few parts when i got it. the last guy had no idea. anyway, i will post again with updates and questions. Laters.
