The front differential takes 1.1 pints of hypoid gear oil, and the rear - if you have a 7.5" ring gear, takes 5 pints - if you have a 8.8" ring gear, it takes 5.5 pints of hypoid gear oil. add half an ounce of friction modifier to the front, and 4 ounces friction modifier to the rear regardless of ring gear size.
XS750 early ones had trouble with piston rings and big ends, this was modified petty qiuck. preimary drive is by hy-vo chain, these wore out in a few thousand miles reulting in horrible vibration, chains were replaced under warranty. gear box bolt used to fall out sending you from top back to first, modified tab washer fitted under warranty. to tell if warranty work was done, dealer should have stamped two dots/punch marks in front of engine number. primary chain was modified 4 times, part number has 04 on the end. big problem now is that these were discontinued by Yamaha several years ago.... no chain....no bike! USA models had lower tune cams, UK were higher spec. engine is heavy and not much power, but a triple is the best sounding thing there is.
