I bought mine new in 81. It was a brand new 79 Special on sale. Wonderful bike and not 1 problem. I'd love to have it back.

Yes, easy to work on and cheap parts - the only drawback is the charging system - you will be better off going with a new electronic conversion.

@georgeerhard1949 2 жыл бұрын

@@nicolasvelasquez4365 You don't need a 'second gear', you need two circlips for the end of the layshaft. Yamaha got cheap with the transmission and only used one circlip. After a lot of shifting, the circlip gets bent, and the layshaft moves further than intended, leaving the second gear spinning out in the open instead of mated to another gear. Drain the oil, remove the transmission inspection plate on the left side, and with a bent needlenose pliers, pull the old circlip, then replace it with two circlips next to each other. Replace the plate, refill with fresh oil. That should sort the problem. (if the gear dogs are rounded off because they've only been half-mated, you might need to disassemble the transmission, ugh, splitting the case, blaah! and take a file to the gear dogs to freshen them up. If it's REALLY bad, yeah, replace with a New-Old-Stock or salvaged gear... but keep in mind a lot of these bikes suffered this same problem!)

I had a '79 XS750 as my first ride. It's not so potent that it'll get you in trouble like a modern 750 would... mainly older engineering and shaft drive. If you get one as a starter bike, replace the brake lines with steel-braided ones, and rebuild the calipers so that they don't bind at all. The last thing you want is mushy brakes because the lines balloon on you when you pull the lever or press the pedal.
