I am selling my 1980 XS650. It comes equipped dual front disc brakes, pamco ignition, and green monster coil. It is currently equipped with BS34 carbs but I have a set of BS38 carbs that I am including with the bike. I also have the PMA kit but I haven't installed it yet and also have...

I have an oil leak and backfire on left cylinder that I need some ideas on what might be wrong. I had no issues prior to an incident where I lost my carb drain plug on my right carb. rode for a few blocks until the bike died and all the fuel drained out. I didn't know I lost the drain plug...

I have an 80 xs650 Special II that I switched from TCI to Pamco. I am running pods and a vacuum petcock. Also running a green monster coil. Exhaust is stock. I know the book recommends 1200 for stock TCI and I read that a regular points system should be 1500. Anyone know which is proper or...

My bike won't take off unless I give it the perfect amount of throttle. I give to little it dies, i give over minimum needed it dies. This is frustrating to say the least. It is a 1980 XS650 Special II single carb cable. Other info is that my plugs keep getting fouled by carbon deposits and...

I wanted to get a few opinions on what people think about getting rid of the fenders for a cafe build? Or whether I should just get rid of the rear and keep the from fender and maybe make it smaller? I am asking for the possibility of downsides to doing these things also. Thanks ahead...

I got the bike started, I should mention it hasn't run for the past two years and I am sure I may have flooded the engine a couple of times trying to get it started. But to great success she ran a little while ago, but I shut her off because she was throwing out a lot of white smoke that just...

My bikes power went out and there are no blown fuses and I just charged the battery. Battery should be good because it is less than a year old, and it was cranking with no power loss. I am at my wits end trying to figure out how to get this bike running. I am ready to get it down to the...

I have a 1980 Yamaha xs650g special II and I ordered a Pamco conversion ignition and it so far hasn't worked. Everything is installed where it needs to be and I even did the wires to the TCI ignition connection. It was getting spark before I installed the system so I don't know what is wrong. I...

I was thinking about creating a hidden kill switch and wondering if anyone has ever done it before and if so what kind did they use and was there any serious wiring issues to worry about. thanks ahead

What color wires do you connect together after you install a Pamco ignition kit on the harness to get power to the coil. Or is there another way to get power to the coil system? Thanks Ahead

Can you change a 1980 XS650 Special II wiring harness to an older harness if you switch over to a points system instead of the TCI?

If you switch your TCi for a pamco ignition system, can you get rid of your battery and switch to using a condensor to drop some weight. Thanks ahead

I am getting a spark on my bike but it is not blue as specified in the book. Everytime I try and start the bike nothing happens except for an occasional backfire and I check the plugs and they don't seem to be fouled. Is it possible I might need a new voltage regulator. I don't have an ohm...

Has any installed a xs performance dual coil on a 1980 650 know which side the red wire goes and if the green wire goes to the orange wire. Thanks ahead

Does anyone know the size socket you need to drain the oil. I tried with a crescent wrench but apparantely I am going to have to use a breaker bar. I don't know who owned this bike before me but their hand tight must be really powerful. Thanks ahead :confused:

I just bought a xs650 and it does not have the ignition unit or timing unit and I am guessing the cams also. Can someone tell me what all I will need to install a timing unit and a ignition unit. And if you can just use the pamco high output kit to solve this issue. Thank ahead.
