I'm considering buying this: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320628098800&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT The only markings the seller can find are K 247 on it. Will it fit my 447 engine? I.

Mine sits awkwardly next to the number plate. Anyone got a better place to put it? I.

Ok so here's the side of my bike when the fuel petcock is in the Off position: When i turn them on, I turn the "tails" of the petcocks DOWN, so am I setting them to ON or RES? I've never let the petrol get low enough to test whether I have been riding around on RES all the time...

Hi everyone, my bike has been upgraded to the Mikuni VM34 roundslide carbs and ran pretty well - still does - but lately has an annoying habit of dying while idling away at the lights awaiting take off. I can tell the idle of the engine changes in character a few cycles before its about to...

Hi everyone, just an intro.. the only bike I've ever wanted was an XS650 so finally bought one (I'm 39 now) and am learning to ride and enjoy the bike. It's a 75 XS650B which I purchased locally which has had a lot of restoration done as well as re-phase engine etc. I'm from Melbourne...
