Hi All, New to the forum. Quick question for everyone regarding my current project. I currently rebuilt (top end rebuild, new electrical etc.,) a 78 XS650. The bike fires right up and rides nice. Only problem is at times the bike dies while idling or when I pull in the clutch while...

I've been having on and off carb issues. I have pod filters and non-baffled straight pipe exhaust. Recently installed Hugh's hand build PMA. I have Bs38s and on my 1978. Main jet = 145. Pilot = 35, I changed both. Mixture screw is at 2.25 turns. At first, my bike would not idol correctly, it...

Cleaned up the carbs. Main jet 145, pilot at 35. B38 carbs. 2.25 turns on the mixture screws. I know one of my coils is a little shotty. Bike starts and runs good, but when I get on the gas it hesitates. At full throttle it gets up and goes but then bogs and the power is shorted... Any suggestions?

I have a 1977 xs650. Bike starts up fine, but when I ride, I'm getting a shortage of power. I've battled wiring/electrical problems ever since I bought the bike. I redid all the wiring, because fuses kept blowing. But now the bike just isn't riding right. I tested the stock regulator and...

I have had serious problems with my 1979 XS650 and am new to building these motorcycles. My bike currently will not start due to a fuse that blows every time I start it. I am planning on re-doing the whole wiring. Any opinions on what sites I can buy all the wiring from? I have an aftermarket...

I purchased this bike used from a friend. The bike seemed to have some electrical issues because every time I would ride, one out of the 3 fuses would blow, losing power to the tail light and headlight. The main fuse never blew. Just one of the 3 others. I though it was caused by the rinky dink...

I just replaced my stock tail light with a new LED tail from Lowbro Customs. Every single time i start the bike the 10amp fuse blows! I checked all of the connection and everything seems fine. Any suggestions?

1978 XS650, bike starts fine. When I ride it rides fine in 1st gear but when I switch to second it just revs. I have to switch into 3rd gear to keep going. Any suggestions?

I have a 1978 Yamaha XS650. Basically the man I bought it from re did all of the wiring so it is a complete mess!! Everytime I would ride the bike with the led strip he has as a tail light, a fuse would blow out of the hour fuses that are in the bike. So I replaced with the light with a stock...
