HI all learned Yamaha owners - I am new to Yamahas although i have a Suzuki in the past - i have recently bought the TX750 OHC and realising parts are scarce in the UK i was wondering what parts from other Yams retrofit? starters solenoids master cylinders and calipers - any info from other TX owners 500/750 or access to new old stock would be great. It seems i have a mountain to climb.
Currently i have a starter issue - got 12v at the starter throught the solenoid and amps to turn it direct from a free standing battery and thick jump cables but its clicking at the solenoid when i wire the battery in to the bike it seems like the cables are too small or the starter is not turning due to resistance may need overhauling although as i said jumper cables do turn the starter.
any feedback on this issue would be great
