    73’ xs650 256 engine questions

    Thanks for the info, guess I was searching pistons and seen 75mm. Assumed that was the oversized bore. I still want to clean them up. The bottom of the cylinders are showing some vertical wear. Pistons skirts look worn pretty good too. What if I do a stock over sized piston and do the no...

    73’ xs650 256 engine questions

    I just picked up a 79’ xs650 with what appears to be a 73’ engine. I’ve pulled the engine and began to tear it down. It looks as if the head gasket blew pretty good. No damage any where else I see. Valves look good pistons are worn but not destroyed and bores aren’t bad. Rods have no knock and...

    XS2 special concerns? Known problems?

    I read all the same comments/“concerns” about the bottom end and rods on google search while building a xs2 on a budget a few years ago. If I recall a later crank and rod can be used if necessary. ...so I bought on cheap from ebay. Bottom line is I never used that crank. I lapped the vlaves...

    Best pma battery?

    So the battery was bad. I put a small 4 lb battery in for the time being. Much nicer. Anyone know if these batteries are ok to run with the pma charging system. I couldn't see why not

    Bs38 pilot question, high idle

    There is a tiny bit of slack in the cable. I did a bit of a bench sync before I mounted the carbs. I need to do a search on a proper sync while runing I guess.

    Bs38 pilot question, high idle

    Hey all, I'm in the middle of tuning my 72 xs650. It has BS38 from a 76 I believe. It has the vm style pilots and vent tubes on the carb bodies, also has a single choke lever and the carbs are tied together at the bottom by a small piece of angle. I also have the small filter xs pods and the oem...
