The bike, an old Chiang Jiang CJ750, belonging to a good friend of mine needed some work. It was down on power, hard to start and had some electrical gremlins. I made a new wiringharness as the old wires were pinched and grounding out all sorts of places and gave it a new starter relay, the old one were only rated for 6 volts and would stick on from time to time. The carbs got cleaned and the valves adjusted. Now it runs like a champ and starts better than most new cars.



Fun fact, the Chiang Jiang is a copy of the Russian Ural/IMZ motorcycle which again is a copy of the pre-ww2 BMW R71. They then developed their own OHV head (that is almost identical to BMWs OHV head) when the flathead became too underpowered and fuel inefficient.
