    Pamco ignitions

    I just noticed the boots on my Green Monster look like they are dry rotted a bit. Could this be because it is arcing through them. You can see in picture that it is really close to my gas tank. Should I be worried about this? I really love the setup though. One kick and it fires right up...

    First time setting the timing - scared

    I do know it requires a timing light. I don't have one but was hoping to buy one or borrow one from a friend.

    Clutch Drag

    Yeah I'm not wondering about the ball bearing in the worm drive, I'm wondering about the ball bearing that is suppossed to be between the two pushrods (that is inside the engine).

    Clutch Drag

    On a side note, how do you know if the clutch pushrod bearing is still in the engine? Does it just roll out if the engine is tipped on the side?

    Clutch Drag

    Hey all, So I've got some questions about my clutch. I have a '79 xs650. Long story short I had to take a mechanic to court to get my bike back. It looks like he messed with the engine in spite. He had taken both side covers off. I was putting it back together and working with clutch...

    Help mounting a 23" front wheel

    Hey everyone, I've seen a couple builds now that have a 23" drum front wheel. A local motorcycle junkyard has a couple for sale, but before I make the purchase, I'm curious how hard it is to make them fit the stock axle/fork. Any and all help on how to mount these wheels to the stock...

    reg/rec. connection to key switch

    So that would be the same connection to the key switch that the headlight and taillight are connected to (ie: ACC)? Thanks for the help.

    reg/rec. connection to key switch

    Hey all, I am wondering where the wire that runs from the reg./rec. ties into the key switch? Does is connect to the key switch at "Power In" or "ACC"? I've looked at all the diagrams on various different posts and no one explains where. Thanks.

    some wiring diagrams

    I apprecate the feedback, but I'm wondering what part of the ignition switch does the wire feed into from the reg./rec.? Again should the wire from the reg/rec tie into the ignition switch at the power in terminal, the ignition terminal, the ACC terminal, or the start terminal?
