    Ohio Rockers Cafe' Racer

    I-O! Hoping to make it as well. I'm a sump gasket and some 93 octane away from first start after to frame and back rebuild so fingers crossed.

    Ohio Rockers Cafe' Racer

    Welcome, Scooter Style. I'll watch your thread and watch for you on the road. Round on the ends and hi in the middle. I hammered my own knee dents. It was actually pretty easy. Check out my build thread and you can maybe recognize my bike if you see it...

    Help reading plugs...

    Crap, I must have misunderstood. I thought I was recommended to use the Autolite AP63 after I made the mistake of buying the BPR-7EIX when I had resistor caps, but I have the stock coil. Do I need to get another set? edit: Well I guess non-resistor caps would make better sense.

    How much $ in your build?

    I'm still under $500 on top of purchase price. If you can avoid custom paint, custom exhaust, aftermarket charging/ignition, and engine upgrades it can still be a cheap platform.

    can coils be painted ????

    I think its just the mounts that are heat sinks. You could maybe just mask of the back of the mounts if you wanted to be safe.

    How do you all feel about this valve adjustment method?

    Thanks TwoMany, I figured it was probably issued before my model was released or at least before the 70-82 Clymer was printed.

    How do you all feel about this valve adjustment method?

    I think I will give that method a try since it seems pretty fool proof for a newb but I just wanted to check. Does that bulletin apply to an '81? I don't know when it was issued. My Clymer manual shows .002/.004 for the TX650A, XS650B but .0024/.006 for '79 and later.

    At Wit's End with Carbs

    I don't know if its your problem but you shouldn't run resistor caps and plugs so you might as well eliminate that problem. I made the mistake of ordering the BPR7ESs. XSLeo recommended the Autolite AP63s for non resistors. They are platinum instead of iridium but I also read that the iridium...

    less and less freedom

    On a kinda related note, we made the mistake of not having cash for tolls going through West Virginia from Ohio to Virginia Beach last week. 2 tolls, $2 each, $15 each for them to bill us. How's about they take the revenue from the tolls and the $.30 extra per gallon of gas and get a square...

    New XS650 project - looking for some advise

    Hey xsdrew, looks like you got a nice one. I wouldn't sweat the engine swap. There was probably a good reason for it and the xs isn't really collectible enough for that to effect value. It does pretty much make the actual milage an unknown though.
