What rpm range did the stumbling occur?? I ride fairly aggressive, but not always in high rpms. On acceleration I have not noticed it, but I wasnt "searching out" the stumble per say. I will have to do a bit more testing, and see how it feels. My biggest concern with stumbling issues would be...

Finally got her road worthy enough to take a test ride....nothing fell apart or fell off ha ;). Still have a few components to get in order before it is done(i.e. the seat, font brake,etc). Seems to run really strong through all rpms. Definitely more peppy with the weight reduction. I was a bit...

angle grinder and dremmel! Make one yourself, its more rewarding...i just made one...pretty simple, and thats coming from a guy with little fab experience.

Had some free time today...got some wiring done and built the frame to my seat.

I have seen fork covers for the xs650 (like the ones made by vintage customs) and i have two old mufflers thats might work for a set...if i can get the guts out of them. Anyone have any idea or a link on how to fab the bracket for the lower tree??

Whats the rear wheel?

Does the athena gasket kit have these by chance??

Got the motor back in the frame and started to mock the bike up. When I drained the carbs the gas was really dirty after running the motor out of the frame. I guess Ill have to tear those down and investigate. On a positive note its starting to look like a bike again.

This project has been neglected for quite some time, but i finally have the motor going after changing the oil and a few leaky gasket/seals. Adjusted the cam chain and valves. Also installed a pamco, reg/rec, and new battery. It seems to run really well, but ill have to get a tach on her to make...

yep. that thread answered it. Thanks a bunch.

I am installing a pamco, with integrated e advance, on a 79 and the advance spacer doesnt seem to be fitting properly. The locating pin on the cam shaft seems to be to long and it wont fit in the notch on the spacer. Has anyone heard of this problem??? Or am I doing something wrong. Thanks for...

Thanks... great info guys.

Looking good so far. Watching this one.

Another question...do the plug wires, coming from the coil going to the plug, differ left from right...just wondering because I need to fabricate a mount for the new coil and the mounting position may differ depending if the right and left wires are differentiated. Thanks in advance.

That is what i have...2 more questions I purchased a pamco ignition, I am using a stock ignition coil from a 1980 650. In the diagram above there is a green wire that goes from the pamco to the coil. My coil has an orange wire...do i connect the green and orange? Might seem like a silly...

thanks 5twins...so it would be like this one.

I bought a new reg/rec for my 1979 and I am looking for conformation on wiring. I found the attached diagram on this site, and I believe it is the correct method but I am not 100% sure. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced. This is the reg/rec I purchased...

Do you have a straight set of stock handlebars?

I live in the middle of nowhere and thus have to buy all my parts online. I like the idea of mikes because its a one stop shop, but ill take the advice and check elsewhere for what I need. I just hate having to pay shipping for every little part. Thanks for the help.

Does anyone know if Mikes xs offers a discount code for forum members?
