Yes Sir
Best running XS 650 I have ever heard -- Only joking
A little minor plopping .. on a cold engine been sitting for 10 years.
If the tank is clean and a couple of longer runs
Fresh gas Gone through we can consider the Points inspection.
# 39 Mr R Pyles above
Besides cleaning them ..
Nothing major yet.
Wont hurt to check the bolts on the exhaust.
And if you have a strobe light a quick check of the ignition timing.
I would be surprised if it is off
Is it easy starting ??
If you like you can upload a blipping of the throttle we can see if the timing is about right
On the response.
Stay cool and give the right blinker a kick upwards ( Joking again )
Jan-P - Tank was clean. It has not had a full tank through it ye and it starts easily, below is a little longer video, the backfiring sounds so much worse in person than it does on video. I can take a longer video tomorrow before I have to go into work again. I may ride the bike into work tomorrow depending how weather is that way I can see if the loose throttle bracket was my issue.
I dropped the bike on the lawn due to lawn being wet the other day when taking it out before blowing the fuses. I fixed the taillight today after taking the video.
Thanks,
Tim
