Got this sorted. Was just a matter of purging the air from the system.

I believe that I have air in the master cylinder after further research. How the hell do I fix that?

I changed out my right front fork and both of my fork seals, which was a a rather ambitious project for me but I accomplished it. During the course of that I disconnected the brake line from the actual assembly that pushes the pads into the rotar (I hope I called everything the right thing)...

No I mean it won't fully crank it stops just shy of full ignition.

I mean to say that the clutch, fully engaged, has always allowed the bike to start, regardless of it being in first or second. Obviously letting the clutch out caused stalling in any gear but first..

I'm new to all of this. I know I should crank in neutral, I learned that in my MSF class, but I often forget and crank in the gear that I was in when I shut the bike off. It's always turned over before. The lever moves maybe an inch at the end of the clutch action. There is a good deal of slack...

Rundown: Was running fine. Switched out stock handlebars for cafe racer style Battery died while testing switching the electronics, which exposed a bad battery. Put new battery in, bike cranked and throttle stuck. Discovered broken casing on the throttle cable, switched both of those out...

Thank you, it was up and running fine just minutes prior, I had jumped it off and was riding to charge it, but forgot to open the fuel line (so dumb) so it stalled out. The bike didn't have enough of a charge to turn over so I pushed it back, luckily in the neighborhood still. I believe the...

Thanks all. A lot of this is over my head. The battery is likely not fully charged. What does the solenoid look like? I checked the fuses, they look fine. I didn't know that you shouldn't jump off a car. I've done it a few times with the car on. Did this possibly cause the problem? Thanks for...

Hey folks, hoping for some direction. My 1979 cb750 battery died. I jumped it off of a car. While doing that the starter sounded slow and I heard a slight pop. Now the start button makes a clicking noise down around the engine, but does not attempt to turn over. Any idea what I did to it, and...
