    Do carbs Jingle under lean conditions?

    Did I say '76??? Looks like they are ~'79! Are these the Uni filters you guys like? http://www.tcbroschoppers.com/uni-clamp-on-air-filters-pair-2-125-2-25.html

    Do carbs Jingle under lean conditions?

    Hi all, After striking out on adjusting my timing with stock electronic ignition, I moved back to mechanical faults. I found that there were bad o rings at the fuel mixture screws mucking up my sync. I replaced both o rings and resynched the carbs but both mixture screws need to be 4-5 turns...

    Do carbs Jingle under lean conditions?

    Is there a write-up somewhere on how to set timing with the stock 1980 electronic ignition? I am having a hard time finding one.

    Do carbs Jingle under lean conditions?

    I'll check that in the morning. I have a new pamco ignition that I haven't installed yet. Ill see what's up with the timing and report back.

    Do carbs Jingle under lean conditions?

    Hey all, Thanks for the comments. I have confirmed that the cam chain is properly adjusted, cleaned both carbs, and reset the floats and idle. One side still runs hot and pings under load. I have confirmed that it is pinging/detonating. Both plugs are a nice medium brown so at least it's not...

    Do carbs Jingle under lean conditions?

    Hi all, I have a 1980 xs650 with the carbs from a 1976 (Mikuni BS38). I have it starting and idling fine, and to be honest it feels like it's running fine up and down the road, but I am hearing a jingle sound at certain points when I am early on throttle or off throttle while moving. Do these...

    Advantage to running rearsets on XS650 Cafe?

    Advantage to running rearsets on XS650 Cafe?

    Hey all, I see everyone doing rear sets on cafe builds but I'm not sure I understand them... Is there any advantage to running controls in the rear vs the stock location? Thanks.

    HID vs LEDS Headlight Question

    I'm not a fan of using HID bulbs in stock housings. Their is no "cutoff" that an OEM projector would have and you will blind people at night. Pretty sure in most states these are not street legal as well. Have you seen that HD set yet? I'm interested in hearing if they are any good.

    Yamahaulin' - Major VT Craigslist Score!

    Truth. The front cylinder isn't running properly. Verified spark, and timing (as best I could) and it looks like the cylinder is wet when I go in with the scope. I am thinking that the carburetor is not operating properly since the PO told me that it had been sitting for some time. Ill whip the...

    Yamahaulin' - Major VT Craigslist Score!

    Put about 10 minutes into the Virago today and got it running... Sounds an awful lot like a V-Twin Weedwhacker! Can't hate! Everything works but the starter is not engaging. Will be researching/ordering the required parts tomorrow. I love this oddball stuff...
