Thanks man i had a little time before work yesterday night so i pulled the valves and had a quick go with the dremel. The carbon comes up pretty easily. Slight play in the guides and the seals were all hard and corroded as you told me they would be.

Thanks for the link man. Ive already orderd a new cam chain guide so im good on that when it comes in. But surprisingly all of the crud on it came off very easily after a good soak and scrub. Pulled the rockers as well to examine them and clean behind them. All looks well in that department.

Heres a few pics of where im starting. I figured working from the top down makes sense,since the jugs are at my friends house being checked out and cleaned up. My game plan is to remove the rockers, clean up real nice, and make sure there is no appartent ware / dammage, and then move on. New...

Its a 79 sf model. I already know what i have. Im just looking for ideas as far as making this bike simple. Carb tuning, engine mods, ways to hide electrical, so on and so forth. Anything but rephasing (for now)

so this is my first xs. Ive had a gs that i hard tailed by myself for about 2 years but recently i aquired a 79 xs650sf for free! The downside? Every nut and bolt is removed and sitting in boxes. After sorting through ive laid everything out and it seems that everything is there to put a...
