Hey guys. Quick question. I have a 73 TX650 (XS) and wanted to know if I could still purchase a cam chain and tensioner assembly. I live in Canada as well. I checked on xs650 direct but they say the are out of stock, was wondering if there was another way to get one or another way around my...

Yeah that one kept getting away from me I got great penetration on the weld but the frame started to melt due to the heat so I had to slow it down and work a little slower(plus the frame is 40+ years old). It's only on the fab stage. I need to make it look pretty I know. Everything is solid as a...

I did change to oil on the bike before I started it sry. I had the carbs all apart yesterday and cleaned what I thought was the main and pilot jets but maybe I'm wrong. There is nothing else that I can see that would cause this problem in the carbs. I will take them off again and double check to...

A 73 XS650 that I just picked up was sitting for awhile, 2-3 years to be exact. I managed to get it running but the bike wasn't firing on the right cylinder(good enough!) so I switched the coils and it started to fire on the right on not the left.(Sweet!). I grabbed a coil and put it on and...
