Weekend rider. I havent checked the voltage to the socket. That is something I will check. I have tried other fixtures that were lighter and not so robust. Retiredgentleman. Thanks for your knowledge on a lightbulb but like I previously stated I HAVE tried other fixtures and different...

You need to check it at 3500 to 4000 rpms.

So xs650dl. You have any advice. I have tried rubber mounts and same situation. I also have a friend with the same set up same spot and he had no problems

Seems like alot of people on here are really against hardtails. I dont get it

I am that masochist. As far as vibration knocking that filament off wouldnt the brake light filament break as well. One filament isnt stronger then the other. I have used rubber to mount it and grounded straight to the frame. I have used different mounts in different spots as well.

Sissy bar

It has an aftermarket key switch. The headlight is also ran off the acc. Not sure why the acc and on position would be sending different voltage. I wouldnt think there would be a voltage regulator on the on position of a key switch. Am I wrong? The battery reads 12.4 to 14.2 when motor is...

It is rubber mounted and the charging is good. I have checked the ground and it looks good. Its mounted on my sissy bar which is bare metal

I have an 81 xs650. Pamco ignition and stock charging. Regulator/rectifier from mikes. Brake light is hooked to the accessories on my key switch. Cant figure out why everytime:wtf: I ride the rear running light burns out. Brake light still works but running light doesn't. It burns out...

Yeah the do have matching tachs.

thanks for the help. I will check them out

Hey I want to get a speedo for my build. I want to get smaller version rather then the bulky original. Anyone know an easy swaps?

ok so I went up 2 sizes on the main to a 137.5 and one on the pilot to a 45. Bike got a little bit faster but it still quits at about 80. Any recomendations on sizes for my jets? Its an 81 with the 34s. I am running pods with straight pipes with baffles and the pamco set up

So my next question is. Where can I find a #45 pilot. Mikesxs doesnt seem to carry them

Yeah I know they resulted into the same topic. That wasnt my intention. I am still new to these bikes and though I knew I was gonna have to rejet the carbs, I didnt know it would make that big of an effect on the top speed. I read alot of others peoples post that these bikes top out quick and...

Percisely why all I asked was how fast they were capable of going and posted before your comment that I am gonna have to go for the jetting. Guess you failed to read that!

Carbs. pilot jet needed a jump up.

Thanks for everyones help. I figured it out. As for the retired gentleman, what do you think I am trying to do. This is my first build. I thought thats what this forum is for. You know learning from more experienced bike builders instead of taking it to a mechanic and not learning. But...

Awesome. Thank you tattoo. Apreciate the help
