Yamaha XS750 -77 Budget build.

Looking good! Did you paint the inside of your rotors to match the final drive case, or did it come like that?

Very Cool. I went another direction with my Triple. Less than $1200 US in the entire bike and build. That includes the VMAX Controls and Harley Davidson Seat.

What is that, more like bobber style? I Bought mine for 250$ but are now up to about 1000$ in build cost. But I aint ready yet. Budget says 2500$ at least.
 
It's what the parts made it to be. It's a true parts bike. Just built with what I had accumulated over years. It needed to accommodate a passenger and be fun to ride too.

Check out my TurboMax build. Similar concept with turbocharged engine
 
Short update, the pictures may do the talk.

And a short youtube-clip!

What do mean by "died"? What happened?
Click to expand...

I was riding it and the engine just died while breaking into a roundabout. Tried to start and it only clicked from the starter engine, turned around and tried to start it downhill, when i released the clutch it just locked the rear wheel. When I got back into the garage after one hell of a workout (pushing 220kg bike one km) I tried the kick and it is rock hard so I guess some bearing seized...
 
Back in business!

Hello!

It been a while since I wrote or did anything for that matter.

Now I've started to tear apart the engine gradually to see what has happened. I dismantled the flywheel, primary chain and it was still not moving an inch. So I dismantled the left side and removed the ignition system and when the cover came loose it fell out a ring and an axle for the starter motor. Then I tried to turn the engine and it loosened as if it never been stuck and before I it didn't move, nor by rolling it in gear or kick it. now everything works lika a charm. What may have been wrong?

I noticed the crankshaft is a bit blueish is it normal or has it seized from heat?

See here on the picture.
