    Bugger. What is this part?

    I have just realised that I've not put this part where it's meant to go - having already reassembled my engine as a first timer. What is it and what does it do? Feeling depressed at having to pull cam chain and top apart again.:wtf:

    Childrens Bicycle as an engine stand

    I made a really sturdy portable engine stand from an upside down childrens bicycle. Obviously bicycle forks are very sturdy, and everything on the bicycle is height adjustable and rotatable. I turned the handle bars around and laid them flat so it will not tip. The wooden box it sits on has 2...

    Uhh .. What happened to this tank? Is it an XS650 tank?

    I bought this tank on the forums. I looked at the pictures and though it looked like a normal XS650 Special tank. The description said "dent free" and single petcock so I thought it was a suitable replacement for my dual petcock dented tank so I jumped on it. Now I have the tank and it...

Gorgeous views of course and classic twisties. 215 may be the most fun stretch of road I've ever done, so had to do the 215 east side of the...

    Hello all, I recently tore down my engine because of couple of issues 1) small ends are loose and 2) steel chips in oil filter. One time the cylinder bottom gasket slipped and ended up in the engine. It then found its way to the oil filter. The filter tore apart and the chewed gasket went...
