Re: Motorcycle Thread
Next pic will be you pulling a wheelie in the driveway with it ? Smart move switching out the points. Those dual set ups are prone to break down.

Re: Motorcycle Thread
Once again I’m having a problem with the side stand switch setup on my ‘82 Yamaha 650 Seca. Last year I swapped in another switch and clutch switch because the bike would die when I put it in gear. Since the bikes been running a sidecar for years the side stand never gets used. Anyway, things were going fine until a month ago when the problem returned. I’m looking to bypass the system. Any ideas, suggestions?

Re: Motorcycle Thread
Is there a fairly ‘easy way of doing this? I’m going over the wiring diagram and it’s pretty ‘interesting.’

Re: Motorcycle Thread
Let’s hear it for Google! I entered the problem and it gave me three solutions complete with photos. Tomorrow I’ll try it out.

Re: Motorcycle Thread
With a very simple ‘bypass of the clutch and side stand switches, the old Seca is running just fine. It’s funny that with the sidecar I never use the side stand, so maybe the clutch switch was the real problem. But it’s fun going out on the rig. At the hardware store in town a young couple wearing masks and keeping their distance were interested in a rig so they could take their small dog and three year old daughter for rides. They each have a bike and are thinking about a three wheel family ride.

Re: Motorcycle Thread
While she was shopping I spotted this gem wandering around the streets of Sydney a while back.
No front brakes, so air cleaner, no speedo and rigid rear end, way old school shovel.
On first look I thought the rid around the tank was air brushed, closer inspection
it’s raised and molded into the tank.
Nice alley trash!

Re: Motorcycle Thread
You mean Classic Alley Trash. You don’t see many old Shovelheads like this around. I love checking them out, thanks.
