Update. I have not had too much time to inspect wiring but I did come closer. The starter relay and start switch all function properly. What I discovered is somehow headlight power is feeding the start relay black wire, which is the culprit that killed the starter. This particular bike has the funct...

I am not certain if the starter was in fact running when bike was running, I was not the one operating it so I cannot confirm, but with a constant 12 volt supply one would specualte that is how it was burned open. I secured another relay and yup still 12 volts constant on the little black solenoid w...

I'm helping a friend with his 78 R100/7. His starter was not turning over so he replaced his starter relay with one from EME. Bike starter still didn't turn over. Starter relay "clicks" when start button is depressed. Suspected a bad solenoid but found it to be a bad armature. Ok. But why?...

Here is how it is so confusing. I had somehow grabbed a k bike clutch pushrod. They are slightly longer than an airhead. Oops. Simple oversight. Yes I know the felt style pushrod goes in from the front. Which i did prior to the transmission being installed. I only pulled it out once from the rear af...

I am finishing up a project of mine, a R90G/S. I am having a heck of a time getting the clutch arm installed onto the back of the transmission. This is a 1975 /6 transmission with a /6 block. It has all brand new clutch components, diaphragm, pressure plate, clutch and flywheel. The clutch rod is co...
