basketcase Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 After almost 2 1/2 years rebuilding my '75 mar I'm almost nearing completion!! The spark plug in the bike is a Champion RN7YC and a NGK 6 ES came as a spare. What is the recommended (best) plug to put in? Now for the really stupid question.....how many gears should there be? I'm more used to jap and Brit bikes, well that's my excuse! Oh, and which way do they shift, 1st up or down? Cheers in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trialsrfun Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 No not at all, the NGK you have should be ok I am unfamiliar with the Champion codes so do not know how that compares. Good luck with the start up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basketcase Posted May 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 I'm dreading it!! Need to fill up with oil first and hope there aren't any leaks. And fit a new chain, new cables and a seat cover. So not long now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotus54 Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 If your clutch is stuck (pretty common)- tie the lever to the bar and let it sit. If that doesn't work, then start the bike and warm it up- then hold the clutch in, push the bike a bit so you can slide it I to gear. Go about 10mph and stomp on the brakes, while holding in the clutch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
