So i've been running an led taillight on my 81 650 for the last 5 months, its been working fine, but now all of a sudden my running light works but my brake light indicator isnt working anymore. The tail light I have has 3 wires, if i switch the red wire with the yellow wire, then the brake...

Bs34's, pod filters (mikes xs pods), U.S. needles, 45 pilot jet. It idles fine, but just above idle it begins to backfire out of the exhaust, and then runs fine after that. Is this a lean problem?

Just want to throw some pics by you guys to get your educated opinion. ::Can you tell me if the order of assembly looks correct on the canadian needles. (I'm concerned about the little tab hanging down on the orange/brown bushing) ::Float bowl levels (I had them set to 22mm height but...

Ok, So i ordered canadian needles to replace my stock ones but when I installed them, it just didnt seem right to me. I was questioning how they are supposed to mount into the slides with the springs, washer, metal plate, etc. Does anyone have any pictures they could post for me or send me a...

I have an 81 special. pretty stock except pod filters, stepped up the pilot jet to a 47.5. I havnt adjusted my cam chain or valves yet, I know I know, shame on me. All that to say, I think the problem I'm having isnt tuning. Basically when I really get on the throttle the bike will pull...

Go easy on me for asking such a dumb question but my eyes hurt from researching every forum known to man just to find out the answer to this simple question. What type of oil filters do I need for a 1982 xs650 special? Can I buy em local, at advanced, pep boys, or autozone? Just trying to...
