Has anyone out there had any success replacing the hall effect sensor on a Pamco? I had a coil failure that I believe led to toasting the chip on the Pamco board but I haven't been able to find a replacement with the exact numerical code on the sensor that came in the Pamco. I sent a message...

Wondering if any of the gurus can tell me if there is a way to visually check what year my front wheel is. I have a 72 XS2 and a while back I realized that my wheel is not a 72. The wheel doesn't have the strange one-year floating rotor from the XS2, but I am not entirely sure which year the...

Posted a little bit about this earlier in another thread, but though it was worth making one specific to this problem. Essentially, I went to kick the bike over the other day and it stopped about 3/4 of the way down with the kicker. Really locked in place and the kicker wouldn't go down any...

Exactly as is says. I am hoping that someone who is keen at hacking stuff off might have a center stand and the bolts that go with it that they might let go cheap. I am located in Saint Louis, MO. Thanks

I've got the bike pulled into the shop for some winter work. I started to have a charging problem about a week before I pulled it into the shop so I thought I would start going through things by checking the brush length. Brushes were both about 1/2" long. I thought that while I had the...

I was thinking of drilling my rotors while the bike is in the shop for the next few weeks and I was looking to get some feedback regarding people's experience. I am wondering if anyone has had especially good or bad luck with particular patterns, etc. I've seen car rotors that have cracked...

Wondering if anyone has any information about the 1972 bs38 choke body. I have a parts catalog, but on the xs2 diagram, it shows the plunger assembly, but for some reason it doesn't have the choke body on the drawing. I am having an issue with my left carb intermittently running rich...

Just curious if anyone can give me a general idea of how close two carbs usually are to one another with regards to their mixture adjustments, etc. I replaced the throttle shaft seals over the cold spell and I have been trying to get things dialed-in since the operation. I seem to be...

I have a junk 850 that I got from a friend to play around with. Motor was seized and the wheel are gone, but I have been stripping it and thought that there may be some interest in some of the parts over here that cross over like brake calipers, oil cooler, etc. Thought I'd give folks here...

In town for a couple of days on really short notice. I have a couple of hours to waste tomorrow afternoon before flying back out. I will be in Long Island City and flying back out of LGA. Are there any XS enthusiast shops in the area, or at the very least people who are building interesting...

I pulled the bike into the shop a couple of weeks ago so I could take care of a few things that I felt needed attention after the first season of riding the bike. It had been running really great. There were a couple of small oil leaks and it would pop a bit on deceleration, but otherwise rode...

I recently removed a non-functioning starter from my '72 xs2. I want to remove the starter relay as well and I wanted to double check that I am not missing something before I run into trouble. The relay appears to have 4 wires: Large wire from battery, large wire to starter, two smaller...

Had the bike up and running for about 600 miles and the other day it died at a stop light. My starter doesn't work so the bike is kick only right now and I could not get it to start. It didn't even sound like it was trying so I pulled the voltmeter out of my bag to see what was in the battery...

Looking to see if anyone has any good advice. I have taken these carbs off so many times now I feel like I'm ready for the friggin' pit crew. I was having issues with plugs fouling and stumbling and eventually dying at idle. I got to the point that I figured it was the float valves in the...

I've got a broken nipple on the float bowl of my right side carburetor. Haven't been able to find a replacement for the part and the bike wants to leak a little gas out of the overflow if I park on too much of an angle - no way to attach a tube to the nipple because the elbow is broken off...

Got the carbs rebuilt and put back on. New float valves seem to have fixed things right up. Running really nicely when warm now. It seemed to start relatively easy when I first jumped on and got it going, stopped at the auto parts store to get a tail light bulb, same thing - first kick, but I...

Has anyone ever experienced a carb slide rotating in the carb? I have a set of JBM diaphragms and I pulled the carb off to do some work and the slides seem to have rotated so that the cut-away was facing toward the outside of the bike. The diaphragms are a slip fit w/ no adhesive. Should I...

Glad I had a face shield because I'd have a mouth full of bugs otherwise. Got to take the first ride this weekend. Still having some glitches but I'm on my way to finally getting some fun out of all the work. Thanks to everyone here that has helped along the way. I am feeling a huge sense...

I am wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to replace the plastic elbow on the bottom of a '72 float bowl that the overflow tube attaches to. I have one that is broken off at the bend so there is no way to attach the tube. I thought bout just trying to drill a hole up from the bottom...

Looking for a pair of working coils. Mine appear to be fried and I don't quite have the cash to go to a pamco yet. Cheaper the better as long as they make sparks. Shipping would be to St Louis, Mo 63116. Thanks
