Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening Everybody!
It has been too long, but I need your wisdom again.
This is all in neutral on a kickstand as I am currently unable to ride my bike but have been working on it in my garage/the driveway.
1. The bike idles a little "cough-y" or weak around 12-1300 RPMs...
----Not related to the ad, sorry---
But I just wanted to say there are some mechanically inclined people in the younger generations. Not to date myself but I am in my VERY early 20's and buying a (non-running pile of parts) XS650 and turning it into what it is now has been some of the most fun...

3 For 2K... Figured somebody would be in the area, or drive for that price :bike:
***UPDATE***
--for anyone in Georgia or near the bike I reached out to the seller and here is the response--
"I bought it from a guy in AL about a month ago, I buy/fix/sell on CL and FB Mktplace frequently. This bike has been sitting up for years. It has a lot of rust, but it also has good...
"the nicest, all original 1977 you’ll ever find"
"It is currently not running, but it kicks"
"No title, GA bill of sale. No trades, thanks. 12,000"
That was way too much stand up comedy for me... I bought my XS for $500 and it even had a title!
I'm really sorry to see this and I hope you're able to fix everything
If you need a new gas tank hit me up! I have a spare or two... out of curiosity do you use a fuel filter?
Hey guys I need some help, I tried to start my XS650 today but it wouldn’t. I pulled out my multimeter and my BRAND NEW battery was at 1.5v ... I then pulled the battery from the bike and it’s been recharging? It’s at 6V and increasing right now. If anyone could shed some light on how this is...
Hey y'all,
Not an XS650 but I was thinking of picking up this 1969 l5t 100cc, any thoughts on a fair price? I'm not really well versed in bikes as I bought my first in March. Thanks for any advice or thoughts :) !

Welllllllllllll it's me again. Guess what I did to my XS today?
My throttle was sticking so I disassembled the throttle assembly and adjusted the cable. Then it was still being touchy so I went here: http://www.amckayltd.com/carbguide.pdf I ended up spraying starting fluid on the OUTSIDE of...
How do you.... *Clears throat* ... How does one *Ahem* develop the skillset to acquire such a fine beast for such a lovely price? The devil is in the details of course :P
Asking for a friend, of course, I'm sure you understand. Thanks!
Yesterday I went to the local junkyard and found an XS650! I found some nice highway bars on it but the bolts were rusted solid... After about 15 minutes of wrenching, I had done more damage to my hand than to the bolt - another day maybe :banghead:
Buuuuut I did get a stock fender for $10. The...
