Hey Mikie, I'm sure you'll get other more expert advice, but here are a few thoughts. First, from memory, it seems like the jet needle should be on the third ...
Hey Craig, Be sure to disconnect ground before you remove the front cover, or you can easily fry your diode board by touching it with the cover as you remove...
Have you cleaned the carbs and replaced all the o-rings. Also, have you checked the float levels. If not, do these and report back, please. Additionally,...
More drag = tighter. As to the tap - check your end play again - it really should just be the thickness of an oil film. There's also the possibility that in...
... Some owners added them. Some 'random wire' (or connector) may have acted as a fuse. (they sometimes do that.) ... It is reccomended strongly that the...

I appreciate the multiple offers from people that would be willing to sell me their bikes ;-) . I would also observe that "fast enough" is a relative term -...
If you do have fuses, and I believe your 72 model has them, look for the fuse holder with the green and green/black wires. That should be the one that is...
By valve tap I'm assuming you mean the clackety clackety sound that is characteristic of airhead valve trains. Well, tightening the valves would decrease the...
Thanks to all for some good information. I have enough new ideas to keep me in the garage for another week or two. Most agree that a carb rebuild would not...
Hi all, Moved from CO to WA. I have a 1972 R75/5 toaster, and my plate in Colorado was "TOASTR". Unfortunately, in WA, TOASTR, TOAST, and TOASTY are all...
Do you really want to ride a 30 year old bike in this traffic? An r60 has enough punch for the brakes, chassis and suspension to handle, if ridden hard, all...
My 1973 R75/5 has 148,000 miles on the original alternator rotor and stator, diode board, brushes and voltage regulator. The electrical system stopped charging...

In many cases it is "infant mortality" that takes out electronic parts so it isn't clear that you'll come out ahead with new parts. You (almost certainly) know...
I am only adding to this one to correct an error in thinking. All of the /6 are really about the same motorcycle. It is true that the R90S has dual discs,...
Why not simply get some larger (850?) pistons and re-sleeve the beast? My 750 was bored out to an 850 years ago and still uses the original carbs, etc. Very...
