I am buying a 2021 Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 on Wednesday. It has very low miles. 600 ! But he has wrapped the exhaust all they back to the mufflers. I don't like the look so much. My questions are why? Does it benefit anything besides looks (in some people's opinion!) I cannot imagine...

I really hope I get multiple bidders! https://www.ebay.com/itm/196352448248

Pretty cool bike someone built here! About 2 hours from the Twin Cities. Not mine. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/745308111118708/

When do you guys think the best day and time of day to start/end a 7 day auction? I was thinking a Thursday night or Sunday dinnertime. Friday and or Saturday, some folks might be out and about, not necessarily on their computers, although folks have phones, but they aren't thinking primarily...

It still leaks and it got worse. I took the front sprocket off and the seal was wet with fresh oil at the bottom of the seal. I pulled it out and then attempted to insert a new one, but I damaged it. I have one more (the ebay seller sent me two seal kits, if you recall) and I am afraid I will...

My exhaust mounts on this footpeg stud. If I clamp a vise grip on it, will I be able to remove it? Checking parts lists, so far I see where I can buy the nut and/or washers, but so far, not the stud. How would you guys fix this?

I bought a wiring kit on Amazon that is terrible. The instruction sheet does not match the wire colors. And the components are more for a dune buggy it seems. Does anyone know of a good kit? I already have the lights I want to use. But I imagine a kit will come with lights. But I'll use the ones...

So I torqued my front sprocket this morning to my max setting on my wrench at 80 ft lbs. I actually went past that a tad to probably 85. I used 5Twins' method using gasket seal. Hopefully this seals my leak as you guys suggested it might. Oh, I just put a 1x1 stick through the back wheel. That...

I just acquired my 1980 XS650 street tracker with 750 cylinders, mildly ported head and XS Performance Cam. He put 1270 miles on it since the build. Originally, the bike had approx 7500 miles on it. What do I need to understand about periodic valve adjustments? Obviously, I cannot just open a...

I ordered 4 turn signals and a handlebar switch. Also a horn. Here are the parts I ordered: https://www.ebay.com/itm/383696350702?autorefresh=true https://www.ebay.com/itm/404473886535 https://www.ebay.com/itm/394127233842 Can someone tell me what is the proper flasher and do I need one or two...

I went to a local shop to get a rear tire. They had two options. Neither in stock. Avon I think was one and the other is Enduro brand. It is a street tire. Funny it's called Enduro. But anyways, I wanted slightly wider than the 100/90/19 that is on there now and that is as wide as they go for a...

Do I clean and re-oil these air filters with K&N oil?

I am not exactly keeping the strict tracker concept. I understand that. But I will be adding small LED turn signals and a horn sometime and I thought I'd plan ahead a little. Is 16 gauge fine, or 18 for both? What is recommended? And then does anyone have a recommendation for black rear turn...

There is a phillips screw on what looks like a mechanical switch under the left carb on the top of the case. Is that the neutral switch? My bike does not have one, and I would like to add it back in. If that is correct, is that a positive or negative wire connection? My bike has an aftermarket...

I just bought my 1980 XS650 last weekend. It has a 19" back wheel conversion. I took the back wheel off to get a new tire mounted. I cleaned off both collars, then realized, I had mixed them up! I do not know which is left or right, or what side goes towards the wheel on each!! I cannot beleive...

Can someone recommend a rear wheel stand that works with a stock swing arm? Preferably on Amazon, but not necessarily. One that gets high enough to remove the rear wheel. I have no center stand.

My new-to-me XS has an oil leak. It is just a drop or two every so often. The seller seems honest as the day is long and told me that that was new. It wasn't doing that until yesterday, the day I came to look at it. After he started looking, he assured me that it is likely the clutch push-rod...

Hello. I am excited to join this forum. I purchased a highly modified 1980 XS650 yesterday. It has around 8500 miles on it, 1200 since engine rebuild. Engine was professionally rebuilt with 750 cc jugs and XS performance cam. This is more engine than I'll ever need, but that's fine. I have had...
