I used this ( I think) in my 76 r90/6

Worked good, actually looks like the rectifier/diode trio from an old Delco alternator, on a custom board. I was happy with it.

Agree on the VW coils. Way cheaper, worked good for me. Didn't have any problem with the old ones, but they were...old.

ZigZag or Tops? They're different thicknesses.

Didn't mean any disrespect to the Major, my attempt at wry humor. Not like you're not risking life and limb every time you ride, whether your front tire stays on or not.

Bike in question is a 76 R90, with undetermined alloy wheels, 7 spoke. First front tire change, found a tube inside. I searched and found an old(long) thread. Personally, I don't like running tubes in alloy rims, been running the rear tubeless with no problem. What do the rest of you folks run?

OK, over the week end I pulled trans, replaced the release rod, ends, bearing, seals. New design lever pin and keeper, new drive-shaft boot , lubed splines. Bike seems happy, works as well or maybe a little better than before. Noise is gone, although listening close this morning cold, maybe there is...

Thanks Duane. I'm pretty confident this will cure it, looking back, the throwout bearing used to be a little noisy, a light squeak, at idle, hot. It would go away when I took the slack in the lever up, so I knew it wasn't 100%. Other than that, the clutch feels great to me, disengages cleanly, no cr...

It's the newer /6 style, wafer/roller bearing, and yes it looks like a pretty cheap design. I'm theorizing that the dust boot being torn let a lot of grunge in, and the lubrication couldn't keep up with it. It's all worn pretty well, I'm going to try and replace the rod, both pucks, bearing and seal...

Believe me Duane, your site is the first place I go. Since this is my only ride, and it's dead in the middle of riding season, I'll run this trans(assuming the clutch control parts fix it). As I said, it works pretty well, and I don't have a spare. Someday maybe, but not right now.
