the ones you have are for a crimping machine, the individual ones are for repairers and home users.

Simechrome and a buffing wheel for the cases.

While SN-48B crimping tool may work, or seem to work, it is not intended for splices. It is intended for open barrel connectors / terminals, which have wings that fold over the conductor and wings which fold over the insulation. These two sets of wings on the terminal are of different sizes, so the dye / jaw in the crimping tool has two layers /steps. If you type SN-48B into Google you will surely come across some images that show the dye where this is clearly visible. So this tool essentially performs two different sized crimps at the same time. But if you put a splice into these jaws, one side of the splice will be crimped stronger than the other. You probably won't be able to see the difference with the naked eye, but still, it's not an ideal crimp. IWS-1424A crimping tool would be more ideal since it has a single-level dye and is double-hinged for crimp strength which you need with splices. A ratchet type one would be even better.

Looks like my 75. Little Blackie.

If you repaint the frame and swing arm you should replace the swing arm bushings and upgrade to bronze bushings and new grease zerts. It will improve handling

bad -ass for sure.. worth at least 5 ichiban moto stickers from nickeltown customs.

It could do with being molested, pond find🙄

You aren't kidding about "rust bucket".

good video. i converted my XS to hydraulic decades ago ..( bike now has 89 thousand on it ) .. got ride of cable stretch and worm gear wear etc . neutral when hot no trouble now , Honda smooth gear box LOL i used a home made braded brake line , CBR 1100 black bird clutch and slave cylinder and a cut down one piece triumph 900 trident push rod.... ive done this mod for a few people now,,,, transforms the bike .

Sounds lovely

Looks so mickey mouse

Looks bad

Imagine the sound with two Conti exhaust pipes or Dunstall ones freed from their Interior...

Thanks for making this, my dad just gave me his 1972 CL-100 Suitcase Cycle. I couldn't remember if the wiring harness for the taillight went above the frame when I was putting it back together, since it seemed to be interfering with the seat. It appears it is supposed to go above the frame.

taken several yrs but u showed me how to make it but where is part 2? i,ve looked but... very nice and useful tool

Can I put the two wires with the barrel technique into one connector channel?

laughed at "you break one off............ you cut one off..."

Nice bike I've seen this video somewhere else Sounds great !!

This is a beautiful bike!

Ok.. I'll bite.. Who did you get it to spark.. What's triggering it ..??

Sounds like a broken flex plate on my son's truck..

So why is it making all that noise ...??

Same year model that I used to have. Shameful that the bike was left out to rust. Sounds good, but needs a lot of work to look like it should.

The skateboard seat caught me off guard ngl🤣

I bought a brand new one in '78. I wish I still had it now. Great bike!

Just was in Georgetown last month to pick up a 76 XT500C that had been at my brothers house for the last 15 years. Looking forward to the rehab of it this summer. Don in Empire Colorado.

I just checked out of curiosity the XS650 service manual, and it says that the oil filter relief valve it should be about 14psi at 1000rpm... so, its logical to me that the oil pressure should a lot more high than this. I think you have a serious oil pump problem.

Where in TX are you?

Not too bad! Exhaust systems for the XT/TT 500’s are expensive and lots of variations. It sure pays to know someone who knows how to TIG and connect the prices if you want custom. Have fun. They are never ending projects. Love mine.

Thanks again Never knew the need for the plastic connector

Thanks Can’t beat the price Say what u will about China

Stupid!

Beautiful old bike.

How much did this bike purchase or sell for in this condition if you don’t mind me asking

Why? clutch pull is very easy

Certainly looked better when it was moving ......did i mention the Rust...lol In all seriousness though , be hard to find a better cheap bike to restore . Dave NZ

Good video! For the people who don't want to put threaded inserts in the cover. If you measure it right, the holes will line up with the webbing in the inside of the sidecover giving you plenty of aluminum to thread m6 or 1/4 threads in.

That thing needs some steal wool

I used the Rowe Amplink PDM. Solid state (waterproof) device that resets with cycling power. Set the amperage via phone app. Up to 6 accessories and total 60 amps capacity. No more bulky fuses. Expensive but worth it.

Nice!
