    Backfire

    Here is a video of my 1981 Yamaha Xs650 Backfiring. Can any of you Motorcycle doctors give me a solution? I presume I have to fiddle with the carburetors.

    Wheel Troubles

    Alright, this isn't an XS650 part. However I have no idea how to remove the axle from this wheel. Any suggestions?

    Loose Chain?

    Scratch that, the front tire was pretty damn easy to take off once I really looked at it.

    Loose Chain?

    Well I took her out for a ride this afternoon. Hard work payed off, but obviously not done yet. Right now I'm trying to figure out what the first step is to removing the front wheel. I have the bike jacked up and plan on cleaning up the wheels this weekend (maybe even have them shine again)...

    Loose Chain?

    Thanks for all the help so far guys. The throttle plates are finally closing completely. I ended up soaking the springs in brake parts cleaner and it removed all the dirt and oil off of them. Now just to throw them back on the bike.

    Loose Chain?

    The only things I touched when I had the carbs apart were the gaskets and floats. Didn't mess around with the throttle plates.

    Loose Chain?

    I'll be sure to make a 1 hour special documentary next time. II'll try re-cleaning the carbs, I had the carbs apart about a month ago and sprayed everything down with carb cleaner and replaced everything I could replace with the kit from Mikes.

    Throttle problems!

    I think you're right, looks like a problem within the carb

    Loose Chain?

    If you look at the second time I pull the throttle, it doesn't go all the way back

    Loose Chain?

    Anyone have an idea as to why the throttle is sticking and how I can stop it?

    Throttle problems!

    1981 Yamaha XS650 ---------------------------- So, when I start the bike it will idle just fine until I pull the throttle. Once I pull the throttle it won't seem to go back all the way unless I snap the throttle back hard. Here's a quick video showing the problem.

    Loose Chain?

    So I'm reading the online manual and it's telling me to loosen the rear brake adjuster, would that be A or B on the picture here?

    Loose Chain?

    I'm going to assume these are the symptoms of a loose chain. Should I buy a new one, tighten the one I have?

    Thanks for the link, I tried searching for the tech tips section earlier but ended up in their tech center.

    What size bit did you use to pull the bushing out of the clutch push rod assembly?
