I will also look into your suggestions I appreciate all your help. I have looked into upgrading the charging system it seems like a lot of people have issues with it, apparently I'm not excluded, funny the timing of you posting this, yesterday my bike wouldn't start using the electric ignition...

Great I'll definitely look into, thank you.

Thank you, Any suggestions on the suspension?To the best of knowledge it has the original suspension now, I am strongly considering lowering the bike 2 inches front and back. I like the lower stance and the look of a lower bike, but I'm apprehensive because it does a have a really nice ride now...

Thanks, I would imagine the fender will suffice with my current riding habits, it's good to know though, if I ever step it up I will most certainly listen to your advice.

Great thank you for the videos, I've watched a bunch on YouTube I'll check these out asap and take a look at those carbs. If you figure those out it opens alot of doors on Marketplace around here. I'm confident that I can do it, I hope, as I have rebuilt carbs for many Chevys since I was a kid...

Thank you, someone else had also suggested spraying starter fluid or carb cleaner around the carbs(avoiding the air filter side) as a way to check for leaks. I appreciate the help and will do that this weekend. Aside from that the bike is running great, I took it out twice today after doing some...

Thanks ,the fender is back on, had it off for a day or so, didn't even ride it with it out. I do appreciate the advice though. Just out of curiosity, what benefits would a brace in addition to the fender have, would it be more of an improvement for performance and or handling or merely a safety...

I actually removed the front fender to make it a bit smaller. Thank you for the greeting, must be some nice riding down there, I live in the northeast and still ride year round weather permitting. I had an 85 maxim 650 years ago, it had a small removable windshield that worked wonderfully, it...

How's it going everybody, if you can bare with me I'm just figuring out this whole forum thing, I an not what you would consider a tech type person. My name is Adam I have a 79 xs650 Special completely stock including the carbs. It has 35,000 and runs pretty well but definitely needs some...

Gotcha that's why I prefaced it with I'm not sure how this works. Sorry if I jammed anyone up, I assure you that was never my intent. I am extremely inexperienced with computers, I have only ever sent a few e mails, don't use social media, and have never been involved in on line discussions or...

Will do thank you for the information. I adjusted the clutch and it took care of the delay in acceleration, however it's still backfiring intermittently upon deceleration, I'll check these things out. Thanks again

Thanks for the info I appreciate it. I know these bikes all vary, you'd think it was as old as me , oh wait it is. I'm still trying to figure these carbs out, my 76 honda has had some issues with carbs too, I'm starting to see a recurring theme. I've began attempting to remove the ethanol from...

Are they doing this India,Africa,Asia, the Middle East, or is this only planned for certain types of countries? I know what constitutes a classic to me any vehicle that an individual loves and deems worth of spending time and money on, but hey I'm a real liberal, not progressive. I do believe...

As well there definitely is a "deep state " although it can go by many names, has many faces and wears many hats, it is made up of unelected officials that are appointed to positions of extreme power and influence that dictate the majority of policies that affect your day to day life. The...

I think Jim makes a very good point here, the only thing that continues to puzzle me is why almost every country ,the proverbial, "We" have a problem or conflict with is a country that isn't involved with central banks? As far as "being part" of the government, turning wrenches in a hangar...

The powers that be can insist on developed countries adhering to absolutely ridiculous environmental standards all while outsourcing their means of production to developing countries with little to no environmental standards all in the name of profit and progress and it's not for control? Why...

I personally haven't been dying much reading, I was working on Morals and Dogma by Albert Pike, it's considered the Holy Bible of Freemasonry. I am definitely interest in books of an occult nature as well as history, true crime, and philosophy. I'm more a Sun Tzu The Art of War or Beyond Good...

Great to know, the gentleman that previous owned the bike also just had the oil changed, weather permitting I'm adjust the clutch and change the oil today, and cross my fingers that it isn't a bigger problem. Thank you again for help I really appreciate it.

Thank you so much this was what I was thinking, it doesn't last long just a second or 2 and I let off the throttle a bit when it does happen. Do you have a suggestion for the oil, I'm learning as I go but find taking advice from more experienced people seems to be the way go, I have no...

Glad to hear you're still well, 70 is the new 50. Are you still riding? By Providence are you referring to God or Rhode Island? I know it's easy to confuse the two, lol.
