BACON is on the market! She gets the looks from all the boys, but her time to move on has come. I've had a good amount of work done over the last two years and I have added little kms. New ignition and alternator retiming...

Hi guys, My bike broke down recently due to what I thought was just an issue with the main switch assembly. That has been fixed. (http://www.xs650.com/threads/need-a-new-1979-yamaha-main-switch-assembly.60615/) Now I am seeing the power cutting out when I apply the throttle. It starts fine...
