Thanks again-you know my Haynes Clymer books say this XS1 XS2 TX650 Inlet .006 exhaust .012 Tx650A XS650B Inlet .002 exhaust .004 xs650C inlet .002 exhaust .006 so I guess I am a fucking idiot since it doesnt reference what the fuck bike I have. I am just trying to do it right Thanks

What is the valve clearances Intake? Exhaust? Thanks Chris

I have and 83 Engine number: 5V4-100546 What is the model? Thank you Chris How do you find it also-I also have two 81's

I have been having alot of trouble with this bike firing only out of left cylinder. I changed over to a boyer and both sides fired right up. But when it fired right up I noticed some smoke coming out of that side. I made the adjustment to the valves which were way out of spec. I fire it right up...

I have an 83, I adjusted the valves and after that left cylinder started blowing oil when I started the bike-I used .006 for the exhaust and .003 for intake. It is really blowing oil from that side. Cylinder plug is also wet with oil-what could have caused this, what is wrong. ?? Chris

I took off the outside cover to change my alternator and a 1/4 bearing fell out-where does it go?

What is the ok reading?

What if it is only kick start? Jusy kick it until it peaks? Why have the throttle wide open?

My 83 is running ok, the right cylinder seems colder and not as hot as the left. I used new jets, 45 and 140 from 650 central-I did a compression test on the right cylinder the one that is running colder than left-I got a consistant 75psi-when I rev'd the engine it went up to 125-is that ok...

My bike is not charging the battery-just started. How can I check to see if it is the altenator or retifier? I have never none this before so if you can be specific it will help me. I do have a volt meter. Thanks Chris

When you replace the gas tee is their some type of o ring washers that make the seal? Who sells a replacement gas tee with whatever makes it seal between carbs Thanks Chris
