I'm in 1982 XS650 Cafe

I realized that once he brought the bike over to my garage the swap wouldn't work. Looks like a simple carb rebuild for his bike and some minor wiring, as payment he said I could have the donor bike, an 1979 XS400, with clean title and a box of parts. Sounds like a basket case to me but it will...

Doing some carb work for a guy later today on his 82 XS400 to get it running. He said he had another XS400 at home with just the frame with front forks, seat and engine and I just had a thought! Would it be possible to put an XS650 motor in the XS400 frame without tons of modification? Would the...

So on my 82 Xs650 with short exhaust and stock air box, it cuts out in 5th gear around 3/4 throttle but runs strong other times. The PO had a large main jet (I believe a 147.5?) with everything stock but bike didn't run strong. I redid the carbs and put in 1 step above stock on the main and runs...

This same thing was just happened to me Thursday on the way home from work, turns out the gas cap was not venting. I dismantled the gas cap, cleaned everything back up and now she runs just fine. Even starts easier! If there is no air coming into the tank, how can the fuel go out?:shrug:

How much do you want for the fairing? Also do you have the right lower side cover?

I spliced the lead wire off the Vapor to the orange wire going to the coil and got a steady, constant reading for the tach which I checked using the old mechanical tach and all the reading matched. I just replaced my charging rotor over the weekend due to the old one only reading 1ohm. When I...

When I told you my measurement for the front wheel of 2081, that was for the 100/90R19 wheel that I have on my 82 Special. Your wheel diameter is off that is why your speed readings are off. What tire make do you have? Try going to the manufacture's website and looking at the specs on your tire...
