Greeting to all,
I am new to this forum having recently decided to help a buddy who purchased a 1977 Yamaha XS650D with less than 9,000 miles on it. We are in the process of rebuilding it and getting it running.
I have lots of experience with Triumph Bonneville's but this is my first Yamaha XS650 project. I run a forum similar to this one at https://newbonnevilleriders.com/forum/
Based on recommendations from Ethan at MikesXS, I purchased the kit described: Ultimate Electronic Ignition with E-Advancer/XSCharge PMA Package, found at https://www.mikesxs.net/yamaha-xs65...ion-with-e-advancer-xscharge-pma-package.html
After receiving the kit and starting the process, I discovered that the "Installation Instructions" are far from complete. It appears that MikesXS is not willing or able to provide enough detail and resources to allow me to finish this installation on my own.
Have any of you purchased this kit or parts of it, and would be willing to shed some light on that process?
I am blogging about the project here: https://triumphbonneville.org/project/1977-yamaha-xs650d/
Thanks for any advice and help you can offer!
Randy
