yep, bought it used, Yamaha shop in Elizabeth street Melb had at least 6 of them lined up, my understanding was that it was a sleeved 900, had it for a few years and got my licence on it in 1976

I seem to remember a 1969 Honda CB750 I owned at the tender age of 17 years and 10 months had a chain oiler system..
It was a vaguely adjustable bot type affair in the centre of the engine sprocket.
It would fling engine oil out via centrifugal force to oil the chain..
If adjusted badly you had the cleanest well lubricated chain, but a seized engine !!

The KOSO dash I put in my GSX14 remembers top speed, top revs etc etc since the last trip counter reset. 

Does your KOSO have a gear indicator and if so did it come with the correct connector or did you need to adapt it? What model KOSO do you have?

Quote from: Tally on Thursday, 25 May  2023, 01:03 AMMy GSX 750ESD had a self retracting side stand , bloody thing was a nightmare, any kind of slope and it would roll off, ask me how I know. When i came to a stop I had to hold the stand firmly in place and then lean over until the weight of the bike could keep it in place. Get it wrong and the bike goes over. Kept a supply of clutch levers as replacements.
My 916 Ducati has the same "suicide stand" was always paranoid when I first had it that someone would look/touch it and drop it off the stand never had a problem but it's still quirky, a microswitch seems like a lot smarter idea, Italian logic go figure.!
Horse,
Change is easy improvement somewhat more difficult :Dr Porsche
