WIKIpedia
The TX750 was a Yamaha motorcycle made in 1973 and 1974. It was loosely based on the XS650 but had what Yamaha called an "Omni-Phase balancer" to counter vibrations which are inherent in a parallel twin with the crankshaft set at 360 degrees (both pistons rise at the same time). Using a pair of balancers (one to stabilize the imbalance of the cylinders, the other to counter the rocking caused by the first balancer), Yamaha’s Omni-Phase balancer essentially eliminated vibration in the TX750, producing a smooth ride previously thought possible only in a triple or a four cylinder.[2] This new system was a first for a motorcycle but resulted in massive failures for the 1973 model year. Although, these problems were fixed in 1974 sales never picked up and the machine was shelved.  The 1974 Model was extensively modified with a revised sump and does not suffer from reliability issues.[citation needed]


The bike was in someones collection for years indoors.  The tank is creme coated or lined.  Missing mirrors,
 

battery, and the chrome trim ring around the headlight- one on order.  Other than than it should be a complete 


bike. The previous owner was confident with a new clutch cable, battery and gas


that it would be ready to ride.  However it may also need brakes bled and fresh oil.  electronic starter does turn engine over good compression.   Please look at photos it is an old classic. 


 Does have a couple small dings in tank as it is an old bike.

Kawasaki Z250 SL Launched In Asia

Wed, 30 Apr 2014

Kawasaki, today, launched the long-awaited streetfighter version of the Ninja 250 in Asia. Dubbed the Z250 SL (Super Lightweight), some may call it the baby Z1000. That nickname, while fitting, is already reserved for the standard Z250, which draws a middle ground in terms of riding position (and amount of plastic) between the Z250 SL and the supersport Ninja 250.  Designed for the sports-minded urban commuter, Kawasaki heralds this lighter, racier alternative to the Z250 as the perfect companion for someone looking for Ninja-based performance, quick, nimble handling, and aggressive ergonomics.

Recall for 2011 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R

Mon, 25 Jul 2011

A recall has been issued on the 2011 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R due to a problem with the wiring harness. According to documents released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a portion of the wiring harness on some 2011 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R models may get pinched between the subframe and the rear fender, or between the subframe and the bolt holding the seat cover. This may result in damage to the harness and wiring, potentially resulting in a short in the electrical system, which could cause the engine to suddenly stop.
