As others said, sounds like a slipping clutch. That means you need new
plates and springs. On the 750 you will need a special head to remove the
main nut. Allen used to have a sort of how-to for making your own head plus
replacing the plates. I know he posted a thread about it so you should be
able
It made me a little sad that the guy can't pass the safety test because he
is too old. They should let him ride regardless... what's the worse it can
happen? let him have some fun!

I love you, bro, but if you can't pass a driving test, I would prefer to not
share the road with you. Personal experience, my bro-in-law was nearly killed
by a man whose only issue was just too old to be driving. He had been in 2-3
accidents in the past year or so.

Thanks for the info. Especially you, EG, but I actually have some springs to
use. I will give it a go. This will be my first motorcycle clutch. Lay the
bike over or leave it upright?

This is a report on my successful top end rebuild. This work included the
carburetors and top end. My intent is to help others who are considering
doing this. Be aware that this is relatively easy, and you can do it.
1. In order to get the carburetors off and back on, I removed the right
shock
You might also need to replace the gasket

Tommy, you can do as you like, but consider this. I started my wrenching
career by buying an XJ550 Yamaha in NC for $200. Once I finally got it to
run, I found out that the clutch slipped like crazy. The plates didn't look
bad, so I just put springs in it. It was fine and never slipped again.
If the springs are as easy as they look, I may just try that first sure enough.
But if it were just the springs, I would have thought it would slip right off
the bat. To me, it feels fine until higher RPMs with wide open throttle. I
plan to replace the gasket, too.

Do it all, less than $200. No point in taking it apart twice.

The local bike shops and riders groups may be your best bet. Let me know
what you cook up. I'd like to do another bike trip in Europe this May, and
if I could save on what the agencies charge, that would be cool.

Excellent point, but it is for sale. I am even considering just parting it
out. Seems a shame for a good running bike, though.

Hey Mike!
I kept this email because I knew it was only a matter of time before I ordered
them. I did the minimum order of 8. So if you would still like to have one, let
me know. I hope to pick them up on a weekend trip to the states in a couple of
weeks. Probably pretty easy for me to pop one i
