 Is anyone here going to the Harvest Classic in Lukenbach Texas.  http://www.harvestclassic.org/
October 18 & 19. Fund raiser for kids with cancer.   Went for part of a day last year.   It rained but there was a lot of old 2 and 4 stroke bikes. Gonna give it another try this year.
Just wanted to pass it on

 Great to hear y'all are happy with it. Hopefully it will be here by the end of next week. Really nice weather is in the future and I have 10 days off. Ready to go for a ride in the Texas hill country

    Thanks again , Bubba

 Yes uses the same plug as you. Thanks. Are you happy with the Vape unit?

 Ordered the Vape CDI Ignition and Charging System for the Yamaha RD250/350/400,R5, and DS7.  From Economy Cycle.  Very nice people.
Forgot to ask them.  Will I need resistor spark plugs for this kit?  Do I need a plug with a different heat rating ? Trying to get everything together while waiting for the parts to arrive.
Bike is on the stand. Working the next 4 nights. Ready to get all the old parts off.  Any advice or helpful tips before I install the kit. Really bad service here but will look more into the forum.
Thanks , Bubba

 Thanks for the help. Could not find any parts for the Martek. I ordered a CDI kit from Economy.
Thanks, Bubba

M, where can I find a pick up? Excuse my lack of knowledge I don't even know where they r located. So lost with the electrical side.

tried swapping wires  no luck. Seems to be a Martek Products inc unit. When it comes to electrical systems Im lost. Ground wires look good. All connections look good. HELP !!!! lol


Thanks , Bubba

Orange wire has never been attached

this is it

Sorry can't figure out how to post pictures using my phone

 Have 1976 Rd400. Lost spark on left bank while riding. The  bike has a CDI Ignition. Not sure what brand. Will try to post a picture.
Was riding Sunday. Everything was fine. Bike has been perfect. Monday was caught in a 3 minute rain show.  Went and put bike up.  Today problem occurred
  Checked coil with ohm meter. Checks out ok. Changed plug. Still no spark. Pulled Stator cover. Everything looks in place and dry. Checked fuses and all are good. Battery is good.
Please help. Want to take the bike to the Harvest Classic Vintage BikeFestival in LukenbachTexas  on October 18-19.

As Always thank you Bubba

 Thank you gentlemen. Plate should be here today. Gasket sealer in the garage. Leave on family trip before mail man arrives. Hopefully Monday It will run again. Also have Ethanol free gas waiting for the test ride.

Thanks, Bubba

 Wish I had ordered one of those. If the OEM leaks I will try an Aluminum next. 

 Thanks for the info. Trying to learn about the bike. Y'all are a great help! Ready to get her on the road again

Thanks , Bubva

 1976 RD 400 Neutral Switch Plastic plate broke. When cleaning the grease out of the side case cover to replace the gear shift seal. I found a white piece of plastic to the cover for the neutral switch. I have ordered a new cover screws and o ring.
What is under the cover? When I remove the 3 screws will anything fall out. Wondering if it is a simple remove and replace cover and o ring.
Any help is appreciated !

Thanks, Bubba
