Valve guide seals

hi I brought a basket case 750 sport and am in the process of rebuilding it. The valve guides look new and have no wear but I cant see how the oil seals are fitted. On my 900 SS there are o rings inside the guide but the 750 guides have no groove for this, I have also seen guides that have a groove ...

Hi guys thanks for the steer. I have replaced everything with new seals now so if it still leaks I will start looking closer to the front of the head.

oil leak rear head

Hi All. Following rebuid last year my 900ss has an irritating oil leak from the rear head. Having removed the head to fix this issue it seems that the O rings in the return passages are not very compressed. Having measured everything, it is not holding up on the oil spigots but it looks as if the ...

900 ss rear cylinder races away

Hi Trying to set up carbs as per the carb sync process posted here and can get somewhere near an initial balance if I hold the revs at 2000 or so but I cant get it to tick over, just as i think i am getting there the rear cylinder loads up and the revs climb to about 4000 rpm. Any thoughts??

4 bolt discs on 6 bolt wheels more than drill and tap holes

I have read with interest the previous posts on replacing speedline wheels with FPS and nowwhere do I see any mention of FPS wheels being too wide to fit between the forks when the 4 bolt discs are in place. I have some 1979 FPS 6 bolt wheels and it looks like I need to machine 5 mm off the disc ...
