thanks Bob! it is great to hear from you! there has been some bad blood between myself, Deet and Boaktiger and I no longer trust them.Chayzed has been here and he is known as Scootern29.looks like i am not the only one that has left.
I miss all you guys there but due to a couple of people I am not going to mess with it too much.
with that aside.here is a little update on the 175.i finally got it to charge the battery.i bought this coil but it turned out it is not needed,it turned out to be the rectifier and the lighting coil on the bike compared to the nos coil has the exact same values so the original coil is fine.i read somewhere it was to be 3.0 ohms but that is not the correct resistance.it is supposed to be 0.3 ohms,either i misread the spec or something like that.oh well,it does not hurt to have a spare one as these are no longer available from Yamaha.i got one before they got rare and very expensive.
i also dropped a tooth on the counter shaft sprocket,i now have 15/49 gearing and it pulls 5th and 6th much better.
i also got a NOS LH switch assembly and new levers and perches for both clutch and brake.I intend to replace the RH switch in the future.that switch has a short plus it is worn looking.
i also started getting the tank I Bought earlier ready for new decals and paint.
it is in better shape than the one currently on the bike and on the inside it it is also much better there as well.
here is a pic of the tank on the bike,it has some nasty damage on this side.
first i removed the tank decals.
the replacement tank does have some dings to attend to.
