Kaptainkwak replied to the topic Idle speed or something stuck in the forum Progress Reports 2 years, 8 months ago
I can and did lol. Not sure what happened either, I only know basics.
Regarding he fuel cap I doubt that was it as the cap is there for only 2 reasons, to stop fuel slopping out and sh*t getting in. It does not seal 100% so as when the petrol is used the space is replaced with air.
It is sounding heat related. As the engine and other parts warm…[Read more]

Kaptainkwak started the topic B1 to B4 – 2 into 2 Exhaust System – Good as New in the forum Bike Related Sales and Wants 2 years, 8 months ago
Hi All
I have picked up an excellent condition ‘Good as New’ 2 into 2 exhaust system. It has been fitted to a bike and run for less than an hour, that’s all. It has done zero road miles. It was then replaced with a full stainless steel system bought from the SHOP.
The silencers are Marving and the dowpipes are polished Stainless Steel. There is…[Read more]

Hi Andy
If your not sure how to attack this and what all the screws do hang fire. You need to systematically go through everything one step at a time.
If I remember correctly you are running a B1 with BS38 carbs. Have you got the airbox fitted?
From the symptoms you are describing I very much doubt it is the cables. I also doubt that adjusting…[Read more]

Your welcome mate. It’s what this site is intended to do. Good luck with the wiring harness. They are very scarce. I would recommend buying a used one and taking your time in repairing that.

Well obviously you know the right end of a spanner and your not shy to taking on a challenge. Looking at the 250 your also very capable of doing a good job. I am looking forward to seeing your progress with the 750.

Sounds like a sensible approach from all angles. We can work it that way no problem. I will help where I can to get you running again and can then help with the full restoration if needed.

Kaptainkwak replied to the topic New Member in the forum New Member Introductions 2 years, 9 months ago
No problem. Not been good times for last 18 months but nice to see things starting to approach a normality again.
Are you looking to do a complete restoration or just get her road worthy again?

I should be able to sort the rear foot peg hangers. Will any parts you need require posting to I.O.M. or do you know a way to collect?
I have quite a few prices in the shop. The parts you have asked for aren’t there yet. I will send you a PM with some details.

Piemaker your reply is in you profile area. I can supply all you have mentioned. Seat and tailpiece are no problem. Forks start getting a little more technical. I don’t have and standard ones to just send out. You can get replacement tubes though. There is a guy on ebay does them but at £174 not cheap. I’ve used aftermarket tubes from a z900.…[Read more]

Hello Piemuncher and welcome.
That is indeed a very sad 750 twin and is quite short of a little TLC, well maybe a lot ha ha.
After saying that it is a doable project but you would have to be in it for the long ride. It looks to me like a 1976-1977 B1 or B2 model. You will have to decide which path you want to take. I would personally would want…[Read more]

Hi KawaKurt
It is some time since we last spoke and stock has changed.
I do have a starter motor here. I do not know it’s history but it does spin freely. I would still recommend cleaning and re greasing it though. Postage is not cheap to Norway.
I will send you a private message.

Hi Danny and welcome to our site.
Yes you are right it is indeed a rare model, a K2 as I mentioned earlier and in original colour scheme. I have not seen one before and I am quite sure neither have most people here..
When the 750 twin was launched back in 1976 it was never a popular bike. They made 12 models in total and not one of them was a…[Read more]
