Was hanging out with a buddy and came across one of the old motorcycle mania's that the discovery channel use to do way back when. Was watching this scene where jesse james was able to get his front wheel off the ground about a foot when hes riding, not really a full wheelie. start at the...

I bought a used wolo "bad boy" horn off of craigslist. Its your basic compact horn, but still very loud. I spent a good hour trying to wire it up, followed the directions on wolo's website. After a ton of profanity I could not get it to work, just for the heck of it i hooked the battery directly...

My bike is a 1980 xs650. I was working on the carbs today, specifically the fuel mix screws on top. I know they are supposed to be synced together, but something was weird. My left carbs mix screw was fine, and when it screwed in all the way it would be flushed with the screw hole. However the...

My bikes a 1980. I've had some trouble with acceleration the last few weeks. The bike struggles to speed up, at times I almost don't know if it"ll make it up a steep hill, even with my hand holding the throttle wide open. So I cleaned up my carbs a bit, and got a brand new battery. When I was...

Trying to figure this out, read my chylmer manual but I think its throwing me off. my bike is a 1980, my main jet screw says 135. I'm running pod filters, and a stock exhaust with no baffle. I've looked and I think I'm just getting turned around and around. i would definitely appreciate a...

Today I had just cleaned my carbs, and I had put them back on and was watching my gas line when i turned on the petcock. I noticed what little things that we're coming out, not alot, almost unnoticeable. Best way to describe it was it looked like sand. Just sank to the bottom of the fuel line...

So here's the story.....I bought a nice Xs 650 off craigslist just a little under 2 weeks ago. Got to test ride it before I bought it, everything went great; the bike worked perfectly. The guy I got it from took good care of it and actually did some tunning to it himself, making sure everything...

Looking for a running xs650 engine that's in good condition for my project bike. Carbs would be great too if you got them. I'll pay shipping. Lmk Thanks

Title says it all. Just trying to find a dot approved helmet that's open faced. Something new or in good condition. Not looking to spend alot.

Trouble starting bike for the first time.... So heres the situation, for the last 8 or 9 months i've been slowly gathering parts to build my own xs650. I've gotten stuff from diffrent years, but all for the same bike. Well finally today was the day where i finished all the wiring, and was...

Tomorrow is a big day for me, i've spent the last 8+ months slowly gathering parts to build my xs. I have all the main components to start the bike, minus a few misc. parts like a brake rod and what not, stuff that i won't need to get it started. I'm not gonna lie, i'm pretty nervous. I have...

I'm just double checking here, i know some years have two coils, while others had just one. is it alright to use either or, as long as its wired properly? or is it year specific?

Wondering if anyones got a rear brake rod setup, need it for my drum brake. LMK

Title kind of says it all. I can imagine that you would have to do some drilling and create some plates for it to mount to. But other than that can anyone for-see any problems with doing such?

Looking for some forward controls. anyone got some?

Got some misc. parts from a 79'. Mostly complete front end.....its got.... -Forks, some rust, could use a rebuild. -Triple tree, some rust. -Front axle. -Complete gauge cluster with cables -Misc. stuff like head light and bracket. They all belonged to the same ride. Also got... -2...

Ok, I need someone to clear this up. Are the pre 73'' front motor mount just 2 plates that look similar to the rear motor mount except bigger? or are they like the actual 73+ motor mounts that are a 1 piece and are rather large. Which is it? if its to small plates than that would explain why i...

Lookin for a pic, maybe even a side-by-side pic of the older/newer style front motor mounts, and older/newer style top mounts.

I have been litteraly looking for the last 3 or 4 months for the older style front motor mounts. Everywhere i look their isn't a single one, all the ones i can find are for the newer style. Does anyone know if anyone makes a aftermarket version of the older style front motor mounts? the kind...
