Hi yall, haven't posted on here in a minute. Hope all is well. Been trying to get the bike running smooth, however I seem to still have an air leak. With the bike running I sprayed around manifolds, head gaskets choke housing and throttle shaft seals and nothing happened. I can hear the air leak...

Hi everyone, hope all is well. I finally got my 650 running somewhat decent. I can finally ride her around. Only problem is when Im riding I noticed the rpms are really high in the lower gears. Rpms will shoot up to 4k in 1st and continue around that range up until 3rd gear. When I shift gears...

Hi everyone, hope all is well. So I have been working on my 78' through the winter so I can ride for spring, shes almost there I can feel it. However, I noticed something strange.

Hi yall, hopefully you guys can help me finally get my bike running.I have a 78' 650-E 277 rephased. I believe that my camchain timing is off. I put the timing marks at TDC and looked behind the advanced unit and the dowel pin in the cam. It seems to be off not by too much but enough. I also...

Hi yall, trying to figure out my idle issue with my 78'XS650-E 277 rephased. Running pamco 277 ignition with 3 ohm single output coils. Intitially my bike would idle fine then die after about 10 minutes and not start back up. Now it does not idle at all after I cleaned the carbs. Since I'm...

So basically I had an issue with my 78 xs650 rephased a few months ago where my bike would start up fine initially, would ride it around and then it would stall and wouldnt start back up again.

Hows it going all, recently purchased a Pamco 277 igniton to replace my point model on my rephased 78 650. Was having timing issues and decided to upgrade to the Pamco. I installed the ignition using Hughes's guide. The problem I'm having is wiring to my coils. The wires coming out of the coils...

Hi so I finally got my bike charging after 4 months of trial and error. Installed a new Electro Sports 350reg/rec. The bike charges, however the voltage is high. At idle the voltage would range between 13-14V and when revved the voltage would go up to 15.9V. I decided to ride it a couple of...

Looking for a used reg/rec combo unit for my 1978 650. Bought a cheapo unit and it was the wrong one for my bike.

So I attempted to try this nylon screw mod because I'm running out of ideas on what could be wrong with my charging system. I have a 1978 xs650 with an after market reg/rec combo. I put the new screws in and now both brushes are ungrounded. I hooked up the black wire from the stator/rotor...

So I'm having a charging problem, I believe my stator is the culprit. I have a 1975 xs650 with an after market reg/rec combo. My stator wires are as follows: 3 white wires going to 3 white from reg/rec, yellow capped off, black going to black, green to green. And my brown from reg/rec is going...
