Just saw the sun for the first time in 4 days.. Happy to report I’m still alive and breathing but unfortunaltly my home has 2ft of standing water on the first floor. Praying for everybody affected by this storm. I know there are thousands of people across NC that have no home to go back to. Just...

Reporting from Ellerbe, NC. About 145 miles west of Wilmington. As of right now we’re supposed to start seeing the first signs of Florence tomorrow afternoon around 4pm. Praying this storm takes it easy on our small town but I’m preparing for the worse. Stay safe brothers this storm is no joke.

Timbeck thanks man that’s exaxtly what I needed to know. I would much rather have a slightly used Japanese stator vs a brand new Chinese one. I’m going to take the cover off when I get home from work to see if the nut holding on the flywheel possibly came loose or the bolts holding the stator...

Disregard that last part I meant Japanese stators excuse me. Been a long day. I’m fully aware the current one on my bike is as Chinese as they come figure8. Curious if anybody has used a CBR600 stator before for this swap.

Woke up this morning and took my XS to work like any other day. However, on the way home today out of nowhere a baby deer darted in front of me! Somehow he managed to run directly head on into my left stator cover and barely brushed my bottom left shin. The stator took 95% of the impact. I was...

Went to go for a ride today and misplaced my gas cap key...damnit!.. ( guess it could always be worse tho right? Lol ) anybody have a spare they’d like to sell? My bike is a 1980 special. Thanks!

Thanks KC 120 but I found one over the weekend. I sure appreciate it tho!

Went for a cruise today and soon as I returned I noticed my right side air box cover was gone with the wind :( anybody out there have a right side cover for a 1980 XS they want to get rid of? Really kicking myself in the ass for not putting a bolt thru the bottom of it like I did the left side...

What do you mean by “series regulator” and where can one be purchased Grimly? Thanks for the great info!

I’ll probably be looking into something like that gggGary. I left my battery on a slow 2amp charge lastnight and this morning checked voltage and it was only 12.1 compared to the 11.6 It was. Like I said before my bike was still running great with the lower voltage I just don’t want to take a...

My bike has been running great lately however tonight I decided to check the battery voltage and it read 11.8 on my multimeter. This was before I rode it. Went for a ride and was staying at 13 volts on my meter the whole time unless I stopped at a light then it would drop down to 11. The bike is...

Thanks for the info guys. When I cut my switch on and flip the toggle for my voltmeter It reads 11v before started. After running It stays at a constant 13v from idle or 3k rpm or more. It’s a new Kuryakyn meter wired directly to the battery. The battery is a year old. Currently running a...

I had to go to the DMV in Aberdeen, NC timbeck. The “ inspector “ took a picture of the vin/ engine number asked if it was stock and said that was it.

My original rotors are extremely worn 5twins. If they were to be resurfaced I’m afraid to much would have to be removed in order to be smooth again. I feel like my best option is to replace. I was planning on just cleaning them up until I rubbed my fingers across and felt how rough and wavy they...

Next step is doing something with the front fender and servicing the forks. Can’t stand a leaking fork seal. I like the fork boots on your bike spectra I’ll probably be looking into finding some soon as well as new brake rotors. What brand brake rotors are good to run?
