    Giveaway: Exhaust from Pandemonium Custom Choppers! (ends 11pm CST January 1, 2012)

    I'm no more deserving than the next guy, but being a struggling student not having extra money right now it would be nice to do something my bike needs. Thanks for offering up such a generous giveaway!

    Idling really high.

    Sounds like my pilot screw adjustment was not done correctly. Also, no tach on this bike.

    Idling really high.

    Cam chain, valves and timing have all been previously adjusted.

    Idling really high.

    No barb plugs on this particular year, maybe leaking elsewhere. Pilot screw adjustment did not help, tried that first. I'll start with those other possibilities though. Thanks!

    Idling really high.

    I'm really confused. First it should be stated that the bike was just rewired and the carbs recently cleaned. ('74 TX650) The bike fired up really easily, and sounded great. Initially it idles really well, but when given throttle, it stays high. This is in no way related to the actual throttle...

    Dual Sport/Purpose Tires for XS 650's

    after market exhaust

    I could swear that my headpipe is single walled, I was actually a little confused when looking at it because I expected a double wall. I will have to go look at it again tonight to see if maybe the inner pipe is just recessed a bit. Your solution is ideal though, thanks.

    after market exhaust

    Hey man, last night we were putting on dual taper tip mufflers and ran into the problem of the right mounting right under the brake pedal. The left side is fine, but I'm trying to come up with a solution to apply to both sides, so they don't look all wonky. If the headpipes were 3" longer they...
