    Keeps popping main fuse....

    So the headlamp and headlamp wiring should be my first suspect (only saying this because the head light did not come back on when I replaced the main fuse) p!nK

    Riding home from a buddies last night, bike running very well. All of the sudden, black. Nothing. Coasted off to the side of the road and walked it to a safe place to work on it. Found the main 20A fuse blown. Got a lift to a gas station to get a replacement. Popped it in and it started...

    Carb issue.... I think.

    Whats the best way to check for air leaks? I have always just used a can of brake cleaner and spray around the suspected areas listening for a jump in rpms.

    Carb issue.... I think.

    Went for a cruise this evening. Bike started fine, like always. About 10 miles out I noticed that the RPM's were hanging around 3k, then would slowly drop back down to idle speed (I have my idle set at about 1500). I also noticed a bit more backfiring than normal on decel. No noticeable loss...

    Always have a spare clutch cable

    http://www.xs650.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9190 See my last post in that thread. It is a simple $0.95 fix. I rode around on that cable all summer without any issues. I recently swapped it out for a ez-pull from 650cent, the only reason I did was due to the fact that I was swapping out my...

    Cafe Comfort??

    Can a speedo cable be shortened????

    As the title says. I need to remove about 8" out of my speedo cable, possible? If not, what are my options? Having 8" of extra cable dangling around my front wheel does not sound safe to me.

    Making throttle cables?

    When my clutch cable broke a month ago I simply went to Lowes and bought a 1/4" cold rolled steel tension pin, cut it in half (length wise), drilled a hole in the open part big enough for my cable to slide into, then brazed it in place with Harris Safety Silv 65 and flux. Did it all on the...
