I bought a 77 750 a few weeks ago, running decently.
So far I've fixed the chain slapping by replacing the chain and fabricating a tensioner made of derlin. Changed the starter clutch. Cleaned the carburetor entirely.
Unfortunately, I'm very timid when it comes to probably the biggest issue.
The bike goes into first neutral and second well enough, but in order to bring it to third you have to wiggle the jockey shifter down and then up to move into the third gear. Coming back down to neutral is also the same dance.
I bought the entire guts of a transmission for the xs 750 on eBay for 25 bucks. All of it seems well maintained.
My first idea was that the shifter fork is bent. But other than that I have no real clue what's going on.
Is there a how to guide on replacing the forks? I tried searching around and found some helpful stuff.
What is the costs to repair it by a shop?
I still have the RHS oil pan. Removed from the primary chain and am preparing the engine for paint.
Many thanks in advance for any and all replies.
