I got my 81 back from getting a top end rebuild and have a very loud top end tic. I had a scored piston so we got new 50mm over pistons for 650 central. I have run the valves and they are set to my books spec. I just checked the cam chain and it was a bit tight so I have adjusted it so the...

I had a mechanic friend do a top end rebuild on my 81. I brought the motor home and put the bike together. I put a charged battery in put a bit of fuel in and then kick and kicked till i was tired out. I moved the pamco and it fired but wouldnt run right. I had the pamco all the way to one end...

So Im putting my tracker project back together after being torn apart for over a year. Im looking for a throttle handle without all the stock stuff on it, just a plain jane twist and go handle. The bike is an 81 with 7/8 bars and stock carbs. Any suggestions for me?

So while I have my top end torn down Im up in the air on how I should finish it. I polished all the bottom end side covers and I will paint the jug black and the rocker cover is black, but Im wondering if the head should be left aluimium or paint it black also. So post up some pics and give me...

Im having a mechanic friend do some work on my motor while the frame is getting powder coated. At first I thought it was hard valve seals because the bike sat for many years and it smoked a bunch. My friend called and said he had bad news, you have a scored piston but I should be able to hone it...

Has anybody used the tip on 650 centrals site? It says a guy can replace the valve seals without taking the head off the bike. My motor is already out of the frame so thats half the battle but i dont want to have to take the head off if I dont have to. Any tips to doing this? sorry this post...

Although it doesnt look like much in the photos we had a hell of a storm in the black hills. we live on 3 acres of wooded forest and have lost at least 25 trees from the heavy snow and high winds. I havent walked all the property yet since to snow is so deep. we were out of power for 28 hours...

Ive searched and cant find anything. I am not a wiring person so a friend of mine is wiring my bike, he called me a bit ago and had a question about my pamco and e advancer. he asked if power from the key switch gos to the coil along with the red wire from the e advancer. Does that sound right...

Just wondering if anyone uses yamalube? I know there was a thread some time ago on what everyone ran for oil but I did a search and couldnt find anything. wondering what the masses use for there xs's.

As the title says has anyone done this? Ive looked at wiring diagrams but I cant wrap my head around them. If I can see something done then I usually get it. Its like voodoo.

Having a hell of a time bleeding this pit bike setup from hughs. on hughs site it says not to disassemble the pit bike clutch setup bought on ebay but you have to disassemble to put hughs longer hydro hose on. I followed hughs instruction on his site but this damn thing doesnt want to bleed out...

O.k. heres whats going on. Trying to get my 81 up and running. Last year before I tore it apart what little riding i did would run the battery down. I bought a hhb pma and it says that the tci doesnt work with the pma so you have to run a pamco or go back to points. Mike has been out of stock...

I bought a pma from hugh for my 81 and it says that I need to run a pamco. The 81 with the tci ignition has to run complete kit so I look at mikes xs site and he is out of stock. Is there another supplier that sells a pamco for the tci ignition?

So does anybody out there have a guardian bell on there bike. The story goes like this, the noise from the bell wards off demons that could bring you bad luck while riding, if someone else gives you the bell it brings you even more luck. My better half gave me mine last week so I know coming...

Instead of working on the bike today the family went for a little 6.3 mile hike to the arm of the crazy horse sculpture. Its one great thing about living in the beautiful black hills of south dakota

I attended a hot rod show today ay a local watering hole. Inside there was this bsa, the motors on bezzers are so smooth and flowing. I had a 67 lightning when i was a kid but I guess I never paid attention how nice they look.

I,ve noticed alot of bikes on this site are down right ugly. Whats up? I know to each there own, but Damn. I,m not saying my bike is the best looking out there but at least it looks like a flat track bike(that is what i was going for). I've noticed so many parts on xs,s that just don't fit the...
