    The build is done. It took a few months but well worth it. All I can say is "what a great bike to drive "

    No spark at the plugs

    I'm new here to the forum. I just got a "75" XS650 to do a cafe build. Starting to go through it and I don't have a consistent spark at the plugs. I've seen it spark just a couple times while turning it over. Any thoughts?

    Just got a "75" XS650. Going to convert it into a cafe style. Last year I built a "75" RD350. Time to graduate to a bigger bike. Can't wait.
