yes. the guy from 650 central has good 2 - 1 throttle cables.

That makes sense. The spark going off at the wrong part of the cycle sending the piston back wrong and pushing back on the kick. I will redo the the timing. The timing seemed to be the trickyist of the camchain/valve adjustment/timing trio. Thanks. And youre probably right about the second...

sounds like its getting too much gas, but i dont know. This thread is invaluable: http://www.xs650.com/forum/showthread.php?t=390

Ok so I had a little issue with the throttle cables as I had them rigged a little off. Everything seems to be good now. When I kick it over it either just doesn't crank or it will kick the kick arm back in a violent manner (basically bruising my foot even w good boots on). Need to research what...

Looks great!

Pardon my ignorance, but isnt selling a clean neck encouraging someone with a stolen bike/frame to weld on a new neck? Honestly, I dont know. Im just asking.

grumble grumble grumble..... This would be a lot easier if my bike had an electric start...

Well, I got em, I spent money on the correct parts to get them to run as they should and I'm determined to TRY and make these work. Luckily I have the very knowledgable group that is xs650 to help!

Thank you. That would make sense. I tried to make sure it was moving around inside but its a tight squeeze in there with the breather valve. I'll try this tonight.

Ok I've been having fun. Got em all hooked up and the left side decides to leak gas real bad. First it's coming out of the hole on the bottom of the bowl as circled. I plugged that ans then it decides to leak out thru the air filter. This is all just w turning thr gass on, not running it. Any...

Edit:nvm I was able to shave them enough to make it work :)

So I ordered this cable and these adjusters but the cable end won't go thru the adjuster to go Thru the spring to the plastic... I am tempted to shave them down some but I am afraid it will fuck with the plastic holding..... Any thoughts?

i woulda bought those bs34's a week ago...damnit!

Where did you lose them?

im about to start with these carbs this week. Excited from all i read. ha! Thanks for your input mr briggs. Still a little confused on which throttle cable to get, but I am going to call Sudco, i think.

Thanks Leo.

hey guys. I got an 83, pretty sure its an xs-sk. i need to know what kinda ignition system this is. New to the engine work, but im finding it easy with tutorials on this website. If I can ID the system, i think i can find a lesson on how to check the timing. This is a kick only bike. Thanks for...
