Hi, did anyone still have one available? Laws in RI just changed, need one previously registered.

Does the battery box have the pieces to attach it to the frame along with it?

It starts real quick now which is great. I shot the last time I ran it, isn't long but shows how high it's running. Let me know if you cannot see the video:

Looks like tat did the trick. Now starts on the third kick. Sounded like a helicopter taking off though. Have the idle screws out 1.5. More importantly the voltage didn't die on the battery. Before requiring its start and run for a minute then not start again and the battery would go down to...

Green to ground*

Thanks Leo. I have no idea what bike this came from. The po had the red and black combined and the black to ground. I could try that, wasn't sure if someone was familiar with this reg/rec. I haven't been able to find a diagram within reg/rec in it unfortunately and wasn't sure if how it was...

Hi all, I am trying to wire my XS650, kickstart only, PMA installed. My question is regarding the reg/rec and the green and black wires (images attached of reg/rec). I get where the 3 yellows and red go, but not sure about the black and green. I would imagine one of the two would be to...

Thanks all. I know for sure they are BS38's, later model. I really just wanted to confirm I wasn't screwing things up seeing what year the engine was, in case I needed to do any modifications to the jetting. I'm just replacing the float boal gaskets as they ripped, and going to verify the idle...

Hi all, I'm trying to ID my bike, the engine has serial# 447-720XXX (77' XS650D), but the sticker on the frame has a VIN# 2F0-171XXX (may oprions, 78', 79' oy..), which doesn't appear to match. Can I safely say I have a 77' XS650D? Getting a new carb rebuild kit and want to make sure I'm not...

Thanks for the quick reply! I was just hoping to utilize my IT skills to not have to dish out a few hundred bucks to get these things welded on then spend more money adding the remaining odds and ends to get it rideable. The thing will pretty much wait in the shed for a while until I can get...

Hi all, I've been on this site for quite a while, and just can't get enough of it. Running into a huge issue with my 81 XS650 where I just have no time to work on it and I am getting stuck getting brackets and such welded onto it, and just don't have the time to learn to weld. I got it...

Grassachusetts, ha! Did you have a frame, etc.? Just wondering if I could offer a good start to a bobber project, engine, carbs, hard-tailed frame, etc. I'm in RI.

I do have a set, I was just using it just to shimmy the thing back and forth. ;) I agree though.

Got it off! Have to buy a new felt washer that you mentioned 5twins as it was garbage, I'm sure it's available at MikesXS, thanks so much for the tips guys!

Anyone in the New England area know a local shop that stocks Kroil? Looking around don't know if it's something in stock around here.

Gonna have to look for that stuff! Thanks so much guys for the quick info. I freaking love this site! Praying this thing is salvageable.

:wtf: The thing wont turn at all. Can I just whack the other end of it, should it pop out? Any suggestions? Thing turns less than 5 degrees and its stiff as a board.

Slowly but surely getting there. Matte black, no frills bobber, soon-to-be. :D

Looks great man. Home-made electrical housing? What'd you use?

RI here. I'd love to, hoping to have mine done by the spring. I'm in if it's in riding condition.
