Ok pictures of the rear wheel internals Grabbing lunch I'll post my current spacing setup rear fender and sissy are crooked as shit now so don't judge off that Axle still spins with a screwdriver

Axle is identical to the xs650 just some spacing differences http://www.xs650.com/threads/1974-tx500-rear-drum-hub-plate-interchangeability.32736/

Lol indeed thank you when I take the rear wheel off I'll snap pics showing what is included

I'll double check the axle spacers again and redo all the hardware the axle was cocked when all this happened, thanks again for the insight The cam washer is installed I've cleaned and redone that drum 3 times now. I'll increase the size of the the brake stay arm and figure a strong mounting...

Ok I'll try and do this correctly The brake stay rod pulled out of the drum Where part 42 is allowing the drum to roll pulling my brake pivot off the tack welds "p.o installed" the more I look at it the hardware failed at #42 but why was my break still acting weird I'm going to pull everything...

I'm not sure what let lose on it to be honest I would assume the brake stay rod pulled out then it ripped the brake pivot off, I wasn't harmed thank you for showing concern. The hardware I used was recycled from what the po had on there originally

Adding a before picture. The brake stay tab was relocated to the end of the axle plate red marks angle of the brake stay rod and brake pivot are marked in yellow Crude drawings on iPhone but they where straight

so this basket case project of mine keeps biting my butt Thought I had my rear brake issue figured out took it for a shake down ride tonight and we'll I'll let the pictures speak for the rest Had an issue with the brake stay tab bending in the location the po had it so I moved it down and re...

Lol need to sacrifice my first born to get this rear wheel spacing right

Like i said I'm new to the xs650 just offering advice based off my experience, that being said on the factory carb rubber boots there might be a vacuum barb that if uncapped would completely kill a cylinder from firing

New myself to the xs650 but I went through the same issues, dead left cylinder then hard starts Carbs where not cleaned properly was my left cylinder issue after triple checking valves and cam chain As for your hard start I would look into timing my advance plate was destroyed putting my timing...

Thanks will do

working on a tc bros hard tail setup the po had swapped to a tx500 wheel previously Just wanted some input on the way I have this mocked up and measured the chain looks good to me but I'm blind as a bat with one leg shorter then the other 9mm spaced out on the sprocket Drive side is 3 1/2...

Moved the sprocket out and respaced the rear wheel, now it's my first time doing this by myself but measuring from the inside hub to the axle plates I'm to the drive side 1/8 of an inch Sprocket is mocked up 9mm spaced out till I can get real spacers for it Brake side measures 3 3/8 of an inch...

Yeah I see the difference. I'm unable to identify what hub this is from pictures and I'm away from the bike at the moment It's a tx500 wheel so I need to space the sprocket and move the wheel over again

Got a replacement chain gotta figure out what rear wheel the p.o put on

Hmm thanks guess I'll have to figure this out

well again thanks for all your guys help as ive been able to continue working the bugs out of this thing and have made some substantial progress yet ive hit another snag and i think i have it figured out but wanted to verify with the experience group so i have the whole rear axle assembly...
