I found a 1977 XS750D on ebay for 350$...It's now in my garage and I'm watching your videos to prep for my tear down this winter!

@@joshuavanhoesen2008 congrats on your acquisition! I think you're going to enjoy working on these bikes. A unique design for sure. Don't forget your safety glasses! 😎

that chain tensioner idea is awesome, would pay money to buy one

@RicksGarage 2 года назад

Admittedly, I grabbed the design from an old forum post. It works well, but creates a whine I'm not happy with - stay tuned- working on a vid that features v2 of the tensioner!

Knew someone who had one in the day, loved it but after the second crank, got an older Honda and no issues

I'm getting a 79 xs750 in pretty great condition. Found your channel while searching, and watched the series..... really really good stuff! I like your Bill nye approach to information and the animations are simple but not in a bad way. I really liked the clutch one especially. Hey man keep doing your thing!!! I hope this channel blows up and I'll def recommend if any conversation allows

Thanks for the kind words James! I'm really glad you're enjoying the content and I appreciate all the support!

It lives! Such a huge hurdle to overcome. To buy a bike and a box of parts and get through all the issues and finally see it go down the road on it's own power. Awesome work R. Look forward to seeing what's next!

I've had a 76 XS750 sitting in my shed for years and just got stuck in this week, your fantastic videos have been the inspiration I need to keep going with it! Great work and keep the projects coming!!

@RicksGarage 3 года назад

Thank you for the kind words and congrats on continuing with your XS! If you're not already, subscribe - because you're going to love what's coming next!

🤣🤣🤣 oh dude these crack me up. Hurry up and get her out on the road.

@pushrodfury6644 3 года назад

That's a great feeling to get the bike moving under its own power! Keep the videos coming

Great video Rick. I’ve had my xs750 for 5 years, had it in pieces and now it’s getting lose to getting what we call in Australia a ‘pink slip’ or road worthy condition. I’ll warn you, this bike is a finicky. Even just today I went to do a carb sync, and in the process the carb boot clamps ended up a little loose (first time the motor had been hot since the third time I’d had the carbs off in 12 months!) So it was idling high, then it idles higher when I must have upset the throttle cable. So then all my attempts to adjust the carbs had been all over the place and after three hours I abandoned the guages and got it running by ear again, marginally better than how it was before. Sigh. Welcome to the Yamaha triple lol

I would love more info on the homemade chain tensioner.

@RicksGarage 2 месяца назад

Thank you for your comment Douglas! I posted the dimensions and such on the xs750 owners FB group some time ago - I'll see if I can find the post/diagrams. Shoot me an email (on the page's profile) and I'll send them over if I can locate them.

Would really love to see you replace the STARTER CLUTCH on this bike! I have one in the garage needing repaired and having never broken an XS750 open and no videos online showing the process, I'm a little scared to get started! (pardon the pun LOL)

@RicksGarage Год назад

Hi Rob! Thank you for your comment! I was originally debating on including the teardown and cleaning of the starter clutch in this vid. I'll take a look through the old footage I've got and see what I can put together for you!

@robelder9464 Год назад

@@RicksGarage Thanks so much Rick! As you say, these bikes aren't nearly as common as some other models (CB750, XS650, ETC) so any help is appreciated! Love your content, keep it up!

@MooiSpulGarage Год назад

Nice bike! What kind of nylon did you use for the tensioner?

@RicksGarage Год назад

Thank you very much! A great compliment coming from you (I've been following your channel) I used straight nylon for the first version, but I found UHDM (ultra high density material) worked much better for the 2nd edition 😉
