I'm not sure the solution, but I believe I'm having almost the same issue, except reverse. It seems to run alright, and even seems to have decent get up and go, but my right cylinder is just pushing air, and I can pull the plug with no results. Even starts up just fine with one plug in it...

Let's just say that hypothetically I was trying to do this same swap, and just got the bushings and everything was going well. But then, those one of those pins that 650skull was saying not to lose, just jumped out of the camshaft and upon hitting the floor fell through it into another parallel...

thanks guys

Hey guys. So here's the story, I have a '77 XS650 with a contact style ignition. But there is a couple issues with the motor burning way too much oil. So while I slowly rebuild that motor over the next year or so, I picked up another motor to swap in there, only issue is that it appears to have...

Count me in on this one!

sorry for not updating on this thread. computer crashed, and i haven't had the money for a new one yet. the money i do get goes toward the bike, at least until the end of the riding season. got a few miles on it, but having some problems with fuel delivery i believe. i can usually make it about...

thanks leo, it turns out that the problem with the lights was actually just me being dumb. I moved all my electronics up and under the seat bump, except for the regulator, which is still hanging out on a bracket under the seat. but i have to plug that in seperately, which i forgot to do. I...

see, there's that malformed video again...

hmmm.... can't seem to figure this youtube button out on this forum, but here's the link all normal like.

Thanks. I have been using the search feature on this site, and you're right it has been very helpful. However, I still like to ask the original question even after I've read other peoples stuff, just to see if I get something particular about my situation that I might've missed in my stupidity...

okay guys, question number two. finally got everything back together, and after a couple wiring issues, think I got it all ready to start. the only thing is, when I start kicking (starter doesn't work) all I can get is a loud backfire. flames shooting out the exhaust, the full nine yards. I...

I got them back from the machine shop my dad actually brought them to. Not too sure how good the guy is though. He cleaned the walls up, and said there was a "slight taper to the cylinders but nothing that should be too much." With the calipers I have I got a reading of 75.01mm top and bottom...

Man, been on this site for about 3 hours and I've already gotten more help than the couple of months on the other unammed site. Thanks guys, appreciate it.

Thanks BigJimmyW13. I'll assume the 13 means inches. I was planning on giving 650central a call tomorrow, crossing my fingers until then. also, here's a picture of what I'm sitting at right now.

hello guys and gals (i'm assuming there's at least a girl or two), new to this forum, I had what I thought might be a useful question and posted it on another forum and got reffered back to this one. I've known of this site, but haven't been on here much at all. I got a 77 xs650 a few months...
