Came off my '73 and it's in pretty good condition. Moving and need to downsize the shop! Here's the ebay link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/284009570688?ul_noapp=true

Hey guys, My '82 was left on overnight. It's got the stock TCI ignition. I threw it on the charger this morning, but am wondering if the box was fried from being left on? so stupid :banghead:

So I'm working on an '82 xs with a stock clutch setup and found my clutch hub/boss was overtorqued at some point and needed replacing. A friendly forum member sold me one, but it's not the sort with the retaining wire clip nor machined groove for said wire. I'm guessing it came off a later...

Bought the wrong damn ones. Anyone want to pay me 30$ (inc. shipping - lower 48 only) for a pair? MikesXS part number: 20-0014 "These petcocks have a 3 Screw Rear cover plate. Kit contains: 1pc. Valve Rubber, 1pc. Wave Washer, 1pc. Tap to tank O-Ring, 2pc. Tank bolt Washer...

Mine was trashed! The only ones on Ebay come with the full assembly: I just need the spring :P Anyone got one or know where I could pick one up? Part is discontinued of course...

Overtorqued it getting the springs on like a damn fool. A few of the threaded hubs are cracked. (pic for reference, not mine) Anyone got one lying around I could buy?

I can shift down to first but only back up to neutral. No higher gears. Just wanted to make sure I actually need to split the cases before I do. Everything externally checks out (springs, detent, shift claw, shaft bits, clutch, etc), so I'm pretty sure I need to pull the engine out, flip it...

While barely out of the weeds on my first XS build, I spied a good deal on a '73 TX650 on craigslist and could not resist spending money I really shouldn't have been spending :) My plan is to get the bike running and safe and then sell it as a resto. Out here in LA they're in pretty high...

got one!!!

Hello friends! Again I come to you with broken parts and my tail between my legs. Was experiencing some sudden serious shifting issues and was told to check the springs by the star shaped shifting mechanism and shaft. I apologize in advance for my ignorance of the terminology of...

Need to get in there to check the gear selector and double check clutch torque. Anyone have an extra gasket?

Hey guys, Just double checking some basic stuff my puny brain couldn't extract a clean answer from the million+ threads on clutch adjustment, slippage, and false neutrals. Just been out breaking in my engine (using the Mototune method) after a full top end rebuild. '82 heritage. While...

Hey friends, Just finished the rebuild and it's all good to go. I went with all stock on the rebuild because the only problem was a worn camchain guide, so I merely replaced the parts. In between waiting for parts and stuff while the engine was on the stand, I went ahead and replaced the carb...

Hey guys, My good buddy overtorqued the neutral switch assembly on his '73: ordinarily extraction for a broken screw would be easy enough...if it were solid. This has got me at a loss for what to do since it's basically thread on thread with no 'meat' to it: I was able to get it...

Hey all, Was in a great mood this morning as I began wrapping up my rebuild on an '82, which all began due to a worn cam chain guide. Everything has been smooth so far - cleaned everything like never before, replaced rings, replaced cam chain & guide, got barrels honed & head...

Didn't wanna go the mikes route so I'm putting the feelers out here - anyone have a new/good pair they wanna sell me for an '82?

Hey all, Rudimentary question: What is the proper procedure for bending a new clutch lock tab over the nut? And for good measure because there are also a few on the chassis I might encounter in the future - what is the proper way to get them off? Thanks! -Lucky

Hey guys, So I'm in the middle of my overhaul and while my bike actually starts fine with the electric starter, it makes a dreaded racket. So in my shopping list from Mike's was the starter repair kit. It doesn't look good. The quality of the thing seems to be pretty shitty. I know the...

It's an '82 I bought a year ago and have put about 2k miles on. Odo was frozen at 34,000 miles when I got it. It's my first 650 and my second bike ever...I had picked it up for almost nothing because it was all in boxes out in Modesto, CA - a father-son project they abandoned when they didn't...

Just putting out feelers, but I'm doing a rebuild on my '82 and was wondering if anyone would be willing to lend me some tools! I'd pay shipping both ways, of course. I need: -rotor puller -clutch holder tool (to remove clutch screws) -engine stand -piston wrist pin puller -whatever...
