    Kawasaki G3SSE Engine Died

    I have a 1975 Kawasaki G3SSE that I was able to get running last summer, but I have not ridden it much. The oil pump is disabled and the previous owner said he would mix with a 40:1 ratio. Yesterday I took the bike out and needed to add more fuel so after spending some time reading online I...

    Kawasaki G3SS Won't Start

    I have a 1975 Kawasaki G3SS that will not start. It gets a good spark and has a new plug, I have cleaned the carb, and cleaned out the air filter. When I spray starter fluid directly into the air intake I can sometimes get the bike to start for 5-10 seconds. This morning it even ran for...

    Is my frame safe?

    I bought this CB550 four years ago when I was in school with dreams of making a cafe racer. I did not have the money to do much to it so I stripped it down to the frame to repaint and cut off the "extra" parts. Over the years I have rebuilt the motor and bought bits and pieces here and there...

As I was finishing up I noticed in my box these two things and I don't know if they came off of my engine somewhere or if they came in one of the boxes of random parts I have acquired. Anyone...

    Getting around my seized bleeder valve

    So if I replace my bango bolt with this does this make it so I don't even need my bleeder valve or does this just replace the bleeder? http://www.dimecitycycles.com/vintage-cafe-racer-caferacer-bobber-brat-chopper-streetfighter-motorcycle-parts-brake-speed-bleeder-57-0003.html

    New Clutch Cable

    I got a new motion pro clutch cable and lever and installed then today but now when I pull the lever it just stays and you have to physically push it forward. Any idea what I need to do? I was doing that in a hurry before work and I'm at work now so I haven't had time to really research the...

    CB550 Bare Bones Wiring

    I decided last Saturday to tackle rewiring my 1975 CB550. I am trying to relocate all the electrics under the seat and at the same time get rid of everything besides head light and tail light. So the project turned out to be a lot more frustrating and tedious than I ever thought possible. I...

    I have a 1975 CB550 that I am trying to put back together and I'm a moron and put the battery in backwards. Some wires near the starter solenoid started smoking and now the bike doesn't have any power going to the head light or turn signals. My rear lights are all disconnected is it possible...
