    Pretty slow going as of now. I'm still pretty busy with my work season. I did an electrolysis run on the tank. Pictures will come soon. However I think that 1) the fact that I used sodium BIcarbonated instead of carbonate affected the results a bit. And 2) I think that leaving the petcocks in...

    For Sale - 1972 XS2/XS650 parts

    Someone should volunteer to cast/forge theirs so we can produce some replicas cuz this is getting ridiculous... I already posted a wanted ad for this. I'd be willing to pay all expenses too. I'm restoring an XS2 and mine too mysteriously wasn't there when i purchased it.

    Any luck selling it? I'd buy it in a heartbeat. If it weren't so damned complicated to cross it into Canada (Ontario) legally.

    Nope. Don't worry about that. I made sure it wasn't. However it is a little close for my liking. I wonder if the bubbles could act as a conductor. Hmm....(?) I inspect it know and then and it's still bubbling and churning away rust.

    Yup... Fred is right. I bought this clutch cable on eBay because xs650direct didn't have any for '72's and today I measured it compared to the original, and it's considerably longer. I find the "pull" on it to be unacceptable. It's too hard to pull. Gonna have to shop for a closer fit. Or just...

    Thanks TwoMany. I'm actually reading right now your experiment you did with the push lever assembly (see: http://www.xs650.com/forum/showthread.php?t=31554) and noticed you had one (Ball bearing at 19) too (in your pictures). So it put my mind at ease. I guess I'll just take it all apart...

    K so... I've been tinkering with the clutch again, trying to figure out why its so tight. etc etc.. Noticed the the ball bearing which should be located in position 16 (see picture) is actually "Push lever assembly" (position 19). Does this make a difference? The PO must have done it...
