    Color scheme on my XS650? Pain and seat.

    I've always liked the combo of Mustard yellow with red stripes and tan brown leather. Like my favorite Micro Machine when I was a kid.

    My first XS650

    So I finally got my bike running. I actually rode it for the very first time yesterday. The new VM34s from 650central work great, the drag bars are comfortable, but it wobbles pretty bad.

    Need help with wireing a new Tach

    As far as the wiring diagram, I did the same thing with my handlebar switches. I thought I saw a wiring diagram somewhere before I ripped them out of the packages. I looked everywhere and they were just printed on the back of the cardboard packaging.

    handlebar control wiring 1974 tx650a

    Good advice. Thanks Turned out, the battery wasn't putting out enough power. I just had to run the bike for a bit and the turn signal works fine. My handlebar ground connections are ridiculous right now. Literally wires hooked together and held by gravity and luck. :)

    Thank you. I will find some filters. Raise the tank? do the petcocks get in the way?

    change carbs to change throttle cables?

    So i bought the VM34s from 650central. I managed to get the throttle cable hooked up, but I can't find anything online that helps with set-up. I have them mounted with my throttle cable running fine, but where do I put fuel line to? I suspect it is to the area pointed to in attached photo, but I...
