I'm deciding to go another direction with a different xs. This bike is going up for sale. Titled 73 xs650 battery's dead but runs good. Round slide carbs, braided steel lines, nice after market rear shocks, and fiberglass tracker rear end. I bought it to go the tracker route but fell back to...

I'm not sure of the size. I posted asking but still not clear. Off of a running bike. Downside both are right hand. Choke levers are on the right on both. I'm going to go back to stock. Located in Detroit area. 175$ plus the ride. 586-329-5752 Here's the other one, still on the bike. Only...

My bike came with a set of mikuni vm round slides on them. I'm not as familiar with them as I am the stock mikunis. I looked at the post with id'ing these and didn't see anything with my markings. Do they make a 31mm vm? One carb has just 31 imprinted on the intake side and the other carb just...

I've got 2 xs650 motors for sale with titles. I do not have the frames so titles may be useless. Ones a 73, the other a 79. No idea of running condition. I have a set of later linked carbs. Don't know the year. Two front ends. One with spoked wheel and disk brake set up and triple trees, the...

I've been away for quite awhile after some completely unexpected and sudden events. After clearing it up, I needed a new xs and traded for this 73 tx650. It came with 2 titled motors that I'm not sure of the running state. Both I think are 79's and a ton of parts. A couple front ends some larger...

I have a new xs project so up for sale here first, is my 75 xs650B. I had some carb troubles for awhile but got them sorted with new jetting. IT has pods and a 2 into 1 exhaust. Also has brand new exhaust gaskets, tires, 30t sprocket, chain, rt side gasket, points, etc. It runs great, I had a...

I just want to assure you guys I'm not a bum degenerate. They are going out usps tomorrow. Thanks for...

If anyones awake i'm on the side of the road comming home from work. The bikes been running good now the light was dimming as I got into the higher rpms. I pulled over and checked the battery with my voltage meters and the battery read 11.7 it started and at 2500 it starts to charge But is...

I went to the blessing of the bikes and was suprised to see these bikes in the judging ring. They were in a sea of builit barges. There was also a really nice stock xs1b I didn't get a picture of. It was a cool event, it was on the short side but it was cool. I met some pretty cool guys there...

Okay so I've had a problem with my petcock leaking.('75 stock tank and petcocks) The large rubber gasket that has the holes for the on and reserve flow are worn as in the hole has a nick out of it. it sits flush with the metal body but the small tear out of the hole allows fule to flow into the...

I was at the Blessing of the Bikes in Hell MI yesterday and there was some xs guys who don't have a shop but work out of their garage in Waterford. I'm the guy who had the 75 and want to get in touch regarding buying some parts. If any of you are members of this forum p.m. me.

I got my bike running better but now I'm having a problem with my Tach. At an idle I can rap the throttle and it will go up pretty fast on the tach, when I'm riding the tach goes to about 3 grand sometimes 3500 and that's it, although the engine is obviously reving higher. I pulled over and took...

Okay, I'm posting this in the main area because I'm not really trying to sell anything, I'm just trying to pay it forward. I received 22 free wheels with tires today all 60's and 70's. There's only one that's a disk set up. They are all Honda and Yamaha tires I think. If anyone sees one they...

I have a 75 with bs38's pods and a 2 into one exhaust open, with a washer welded on to baffle/add back pressure. I've done quite a bit of searching and I think I might have read too many at once. I'm not sure if the PO re-jetted but the needle does have the clip on the needle one lower than...

I saw a topic about oil temp gauges and started looking through my McMaster-Carr cataloge. I found this (if the link works, if not page 524 of your cataloge) it's an elbow oil sight gauge that has a 250+ degree dial at the elbow. I think the look alone would warrent drilling and tapping. It's...

Has anyone ordered any and had them not be correct when you install them? On my new one, when I put the pin through the posts on the carb body the notches on the "backbone" that are supposed to hit the post to keep the needle from falling out are way to far from the posts. No matter where I...

Okay, I did some searching and didn't find much in the way of an answer. I'm still dialing in my '75 and it shifts fine, I have no problems finding N rolling or stopped, but it seems like my first gear is "short." What I mean by this is from a stop I shift into first and it seems to be SCREAMING...

Or a carb rebuild kit.

HI, my names Ryan and I'm new to the forum. This is an excellent site. I have a 70xsb1 and a 75. I also ride a hardtailed 58 Triumph Bonnie. Anyways my question is I have the brass floats and it had some leaks, well leaks is an understatement, but I soldered them then submerged them in water...
