Rebuilding the fuel pedcock on the 70/80 bikes. I notice the rubber insert from a 72 Suzuki ts 185 can be installed inside the pedcock housing.
Those stripped Allen hex screws. We all have them sooner or later. I use a flat nose punch to close up the hex on the screw just a little to close up the hex. Then I line up the Allen hex wrench over the hex head screw lining up the old hex as close as we can and lightly bang the wrench into the screw head rebroaching it. It comes out so perfect the screw can be reused again.
The same thing can be done with screws too flat slotted screws and Phillips head screws.
When removing the clutch plates. Before you remove the driver plates we would file a notch in each tang so each clutch plate goes back in the same location. We did this on the heavy machinery that used the similar clutch set up. It saves the clutch from wearing or breaking in again. You file all the driven tangs in a row.
These little tricks can make life so much easier.
