Thank you for that link 650Skull! Good info! The petcock in the ebay link above apparently isn't the correct one for my bike, but I appreciate Ceed Klumper's help. I can't seem to find this exact one. I was trying to avoid rebuilding the one on the bike because I don't have a decent place or...

Thanks Ceed, I'll check it.

Looking to buy a petcock, in good working order, for my stock 1980 XS650G . Original stock number is 3G1-24500-03-00. Not sure which years are interchangeable. Would like to be able to bolt up and go without having to rebuild first. Don't want to use an aftermarket unit.

That is one fine looking bike!!

Bump for a good seller------------------^

Thank you!

Well I replaced the fuse box, now the fuzes don't get hot anymore. I am replacing the rotor with one from RockingthepartyDJ, thanks Dave! I'm hopeful I can get the charging up closer to 14 volts instead of the 12.6 I was getting.

WhAT A DEAL!

Looking for a rotor for my stock 1980 XS650G Special II

I haven't removed the case cover yet, I guess that's next. Summer's liable to be over till I get back on the road :(

You were right I had used 20k range. When I checked with the 200 range I got .9 to 1.1, after subtracting the .3 the meter wanted it looks like .6 to .8. Way low, I know. If I need a replacement where would you recommend I look? I found this one on ebay , does that price seem reasonable...

While I had the brushes out to replace them I did an ohm test between the slip rings and got 0.00. Is my rotor trash?

It does look intimidating in there! Thanks!

I looked at those grommets gggGary, they still look intact, no rub through that I could see. Thanks for the suggestion. Will do. Thanks.

I ordered a new set of brushes. Thanks 5twins.

Did a little research (youtube) and learned a little about how some of Curly's tests look. For me, It helps to be able to watch someone do it rather than just relying on my own interpretation of the text. I did the resistance test on the rectifier (3 white wires vs the brown) and apparently...

Yes I've been trying to go through Curly's guide. I don't always know what components are called or where to look for them, but I am trying! :-)

Thanks guys for your responses. Here's what I found so far: I did not seem to get a response from the "slap test" The battery connections are clean. I did find a green wire had a spot that was rubbed through and touching metal, I covered that with electrical tape. The voltage at the battery is...

Hello All! Newbie here on the forums with a charging system question. I have a basically original 1980 xs650g (Special II) with a little over 10k miles on it. Recently I put it back on the road after several years storage, and it seems to run great. Here's the problem. When my battery is fully...
