The first picture is the voltage regulator, it switches the 12 volts on and off to the rotor , preventing the battery from being overcharged... not sure what the second pic. is didnt have one of them on my 1976 b model......

Hi .....ok mate here goes but let me first point out that these are REAR discs, and that some of the trail bikes only use the 245mm discs for some years so get your seller to check what the size is .... All ducatis from 1990 to 2002 use a 245mm rear models ss,monster,sport,748 , strada,851...

hi just the disc section alone runs into 60 pages, so it would be impractial to email... the ducati rear you have was fitted to a 900ss ducati amongst others . There are 8 discs in the catalogue that are 245mm . but for me to make the best match i need the other measurments that i asked for..The...

Hi . I may be able to give you some advice .. I have a cataloge and home that gives the sizes of all discs fitted to most bikes . I know you want a 245mm dia disc of which there are a few listed. What is the inner diameter hole you want and is it a flat disc or does it have an offset. if so how...

You may have a point 5 twins , especially as the seals are for an early toyota and if memory serves me well, toyota cars and yamaha xs650 did share pistons and valves from the toyota 2000gt six cylinder.

I suspected that the Raw seal kit was too small in spite of them saying it was for a 75/76. The link you attached of Tonys XS650 is a picture of My Old XS.. I bought it in 1976 and sold it in 2005. In that time i did over 100000 miles and apart from a camchain and ring change at about 50000 then...

Hi paul selling on ebay at the moment is a seal kit for a 75/76 model... look up number 180869280681... the master cylinder fitted to that year should have a clear pot for the fluid with a screw top, like the one near the rear wheel.. you may want to strip yours first and check the plunger...

It looks to me like an xs650B tank circa 1976 that has been left complete with the rear of another xs650b tank grafted over the end to extend.. The reason I'm guessing this is that the petrol tap is the perfect distance from the front of the tank and if you look closely to the right of the tap...

hi I doubt that youll get a swinging arm that will bolt straight in as the standard one has only about 200mm of room. I been looking to do the same on my project and after considering all the options on this forem decided to go with an arm off a GPz550.. Its a box aluminium arm with a...

Hi vtuck2..firstly welcome to this forem its a wise move if you want to own an xs650.. Your right about the bonnie crank design being the cause of a lot of its vibration, but a the xs has a 4 bearing crank its less of an issue. mine vibrates around 4500 to 5500 rpm so being in the 70 to 85mph...

Just fitted a set of VTR1000 firestorm (superhawk) forks and yolks (triple trees) and started to remove all unwanted lugs/brackets.....First job in what is going to be a 12 month rebuild......Next the rear end... any ideas????

whip the plug out on the cold cylinder and check for a spark; if Ok then fine if no spark try another plug, one you know is good, eg from the hot cylinder. If you dont get a spark then check the points are opening and closing and that they have power and you have power at the HT coil. Assuming...

Hi ....Slight Cam chain noise (Clicking) when the engine is STONE COLD is Ok, but it should disappear when warm (after a minuite or so) if it doesnt then it needs adjusting. This is how I ran my xs 650b and I got 40000 out of the first cam chain and 50000 out of the second.... 5twins is right...

I bought a new xs650 back in 1976 and ran it on and off for 29yrs and 115000 miles. The top end needed attention after 40000 miles, as burning a lot of oil (a pint every 500 miles) and cam chain worn out. All I did was change the rings and valve guide oil seals, and camchain. The pistons and...

#I cant for the life of me get the idle to stay. When I start if even after its warm its fine. After I run it its really high # One thing that might be worth checking is that your engine ignition is advancing and retarding as it should. The standard XS650 setup is fine when new , but with time...

It might be that your carbs are flooding when the engine is not running so letting fuel into the oil, and then if you run the engine and get it hot it evaporates out of the breather and settles in the colder pipe.. My xs650b had the same V shaped vent with one side blocked by yamaha and a pipe...
