Top motor mount holds condensers that are only present on points... Plus I think points have 2 seperate coils

Its all good! I wish I got into the xs game about a year earlier than I did! Lol, couldn't be happier with the bike though... Unless I had a PM convert that is!

Thx guys... I saw those was just concerned about it being adjustable but from what I've heard it doesn't matter. I just keep reading about how all these parts are a dime a dozen and people are getting flywheel, stator, R/R etc for pennies on the dollar off eBay! My ass!!! Hahaha

Im having a hard time finding a banshee stator plate! Does anyone here know about the Mr. Briggs plate? this swap looked soooo good as I researched all the threads. About the only thing that is easy about this swap is the labor! Please help guys, i really dont want to be $300+ in this thing! I...

Best I can find is $35 free shipping... Any ideas for an inexpensive stator?

Does anyone know where I can get one? Or will an adjustable stator plate work? Can't seem to find a stock one anywhere!!!!:banghead:

Hey guys... Got a question, I have a 1980 motor i believe but it has been converted to points by PO. I want to do the PAMCO ignition but i see there is a different listing for engines that are 80 and newer. Is this because of the electronic ignition? Since mine is points now do I order the pre...

Maybe I'll do some research and see if it can be done!

I'll post some pics when I get home! This site won't let my iPhone upload pics... Hahaha I've been trying to get someone to make an xs650.com app for iPhones! It would be a success I bet!

1978 with an 80' motor and 81'+ carbs! Lol, bit of a Frankenstein but runs great and is fun!!!

Hey there! Welcome to the XS world! I am fairly new to the XS' myself but have learned these motors are fairly bulletproof... I have read that regular maintainence will keep the motor running strong... Such as, oil changes, keep carbs synched, keep valves adjusted etc. You should also change...

Thanks to all of you XS'ers out here that helped me! I love my bike more than any I have been on! And I built it with my own two hands thanks to you all!!!!! So thanks again!!!!!!!!!!!!:thumbsup::bike:

It was a different kind of fluctuation, like an inch to inch and a half in either direction on idle, but with the choke on or reved a little it evened nicely... Not sure if they're supposed to fluctuate so much at idle or what the cause would be?

........

Got the carbs synced! She runs great now!!! Seems hard to sync on idle they fluctuate quite a bit, pulled the choke and seemed easier. They were more even. I'm gonna leave the timing alone until I get the pamco, that seems to be the way to go!:thumbsup:Thanks for the help guys!

Synching them today so we'll see... What size tubing for the DIY manometer again?

Shit! We should all give a big warm welcome and thank you to the new mikesxs owners...! Just can't understand why one would invest/buy a business to almost TRY and lose customers!:banghead:
