    MC Brake Hone XS650B

    The smallest brake cylinder hone available at all the auto places in my neighborhood is 11/16". Will this work on an OEM MC on a XS650B? When I measure the cylinder bore it looks close to 1/2"to me.

    Front Brake Help Please!

    I am trying to get a XS650B with 16,000mi up and running that has not been driven (regularly) for about 20 years. I finally got the thing tuned enough to start driving it around the neighborhood and noticed that the front brake was binding. Upon closer inspection, there was some sludge build-up...

    XS650B Front Brake

    I am trying to get a XS650B with 16,000mi up and running that has not been driven (regularly) for about 20 years. I am on a shoe string budget but know to slow down for a brake job.

    1975 xs650b fuel/air mix screw setting?

    My 1975 xs650b is getting real close to running well. I just worked my way through most of a major tune-up and it still is running a bit rougher than I'd like. I'm wondering about the fuel/air mix screw setting on the original B38 carbs. The original manual calls for "1 3/4 turn" while all the...

I believe this is a pressed fit and looks like I will wreck it if I try to take it off. Has anyone else...

    Cracked 75 Petcock

    I have a '75 with manual petcocks. I would like to avoid replacing them and rebuild if possible seeing as they are in fairly good shape. However, the taller integral riser on each petcock is cracked and split almost the entire length (1.5"). I was thinking of slipping a piece of fuel line snug...

    75 Gas Cap

    Does any one have a photograph(s) of a gas cap for a '75 650 XSB? Does the gasket rest against the underside of the cap so you can't see the spring once assembled? I am replacing the gasket and cannot get it to look right for the life of me! It is difficult to tell what is actually going where...

    Oil Leak When Not Running

    I have a '75 that hasn't run for a couple seasons because I haven't had the time to chase down an oil leak until now. I recently added a quart to evaluate the situation and oil is pooling towards the back around the left mounting bolt on the electric starter. I haven't started it up yet so this...
