Kawasaki Other description

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.
