    Rear disc wheel swap

    Will any other rear wheels with disc brakes interchange with the stock XS mag wheel? I want to put spoke wheels on and get rid of the mags. It’s a 1979 that’s been hardtailed if that matters. Thanks so much!!

    Is this carb related??

    I appreciate all the replies!! Thanks I'm not sure of pilot jet(or whichever jet is under the rubber plugs) but if I remember right when I cleaned the carbs the main was a 135 so I'll check again and get some other jets and put the stock mufflers on and try that. Thanks again!

    Are all year XS/Tx engines similar?

    Thanks for the reply!! The only reason I was gonna change engines was 71 has ashifting issue. When you try to downshift it doesnt catch in gear. you have to pull up on shifter a little then it will shift. I guess I will just try to work out the shifting issue! Don"t want to dent the frame...

    Are all year XS/Tx engines similar?

    I have a 1971 XS1 that I am in the process of rebuilding. I have a 74 Tx 650 engine I was going to put in the 71 frame. The 74 engine has a 4 bolt valve adjustment cap instead of the 3 bolt on the 71. Plus it has a electric starter. It looks like everything is the same except the above listed...
