I have a XS 2 with a repo Mikes XS Petcock. I am trying to find a M7 x 1 brass elbow with Brad end for it, but I come up blank. I have found NPT 1/4 inch that look right but I doubt the threads will work. Dennis Kirk does not have any and Lowbrow didn't pickup the phone. ANY known sources out...

Trying to get my BS38's tuned. XS2 starts fine, idles nice and low, but as soon as you hit the throttle, it bogs down and dies..seems like a too rich condition and this is my assumption. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong. When I remove the carbs the throttle plate/valve is soaked in gas...

Working on a 1972 650 XS2 with the points replaced with a circuit board. I used the attached diagram to wire the electronics, as I put this rebuilt engine into a different frame. For the past two days I have not been able to get the plugs to produce any spark. Coils are new dual output, and all...

As you can see from the photo, the stock xs2 foot pegs I have interfere with the bottom of the kick starter such that i cannot slide the bracket over the upper mount stud. Are the foot pegs for the tx650 different, so if i get a set I will be ok? Or will I have to make (rig) something?

Poorly idling bike, looked into the carbs and they were dirty so I got some rebuild kits from Mikes and rebuilt them. Now both carbs are overflowing within 2 seconds of turning on the gas. When I first took off the bowl to see what was up, the bowl was dry....floats are intact flange is set at...

Troubleshooting a carb problem on BS38s on a tx frame. Right side carb won't idle steady and stumbles if revved. Took carb off for cleaning the pilot circuit and noticed the slide falls way fast 2 to 3 seconds to bottom out when thumb is over the oval port on top the Venturi. I have a set of...

See pic for what I am working with. Bike is crazy loud, I have removed the baffles, and wanted to get some input from the "been there, done that crowd". What can I do to these baffles to quiet it down? Do I reduce the size of the "upstream" side of the baffle to get more volume through the...

Quick ship on 52 lbs of parts, fair price, sent me tracking number quickly after I paypaled. Well packaged. Would buy from again.

The tech section references an online how to "http://www.iwt.com.au/mikunicarb.htm" as a good guide to understand how to tune the Mikuni carbs. I have a 72 XS aafter warm up, my midrange performance sucks. The engine seems to stumble all over itself. I am thinking about pulling the carbs, taking...

Using the attached Simplified XS650 wiring diagram with PAmco and kicker only. Took pictures today to hopefully find out what I am screwing up. Cant figure out how to connect the alternator out six prong plug (3 white, b, blk, g) to the reg/rect. I have tried to wire up the 73 rect but the...

Using the attached wiring diagram as a guide. Not sure about the lower left side of the diagram where it shows the alternator connecting to the rectifier. None of the wires are colored. Am I to assume there is an idiot proof plastic connector between the alternator and rectifier? And there is a...

and yes I have a manual(but not xs2 specific). To bad the blow up diagram in the manual does not agree with my front wheel parts. I suspect that may have to do with the fact the front wheel is off a XS2.. The problem I am having is an extra 1/2 inch of space between the front forks(forks off...

Anyone know of an XS2 frame for sale? I have a bike that was restored in 2010, then flipped, and the frame was bent. Everything very nice expect for frame and forks.... Also, what are the opinions on getting a frame straightened? Too risky?
