    Jetting Help?

    I am needing to re-jet my carbs but not sure on what size jets I should try. They are bs38's (70-75'), the engine is all stock other than pipes, which are pretty much straight pipes ending by my forward controls. Also I am in Salt Lake which is about 4500ft. Does anyone have a similar setup that...

    Joe Wiseguy 2-1 or XS Performance Carb Kit?

    Maybe switching to a couple of Mikuni Roundslides would be sweet? My carbs were great for about a week then they started overflowing with fuel and making the bike run horribly, it acts like it is just barely getting enough fuel to stay running but when you give it throttle it barely raises the...

    Joe Wiseguy 2-1 or XS Performance Carb Kit?

    Which would you guys recommend? I'm sick of fighting with my old carbs so I'm just going to upgrade them. I can't decide if I should go for a 2-1 intake with a 36mm Mikuni Roundslide carb, or if I should order the Performance Carb Kit from Mikes XS? Any recommendations or feedback about either...

    Issues starting bike after it has been ridden for a while...

    I adjusted the floats and it seems to have fixed a lot of problems, but now it is backfiring from a lot from the left cylinder when I let off the throttle? And I can hear a light rhythmic knocking sound on the same cylinder, how do you check valve clearance?

    Issues starting bike after it has been ridden for a while...

    So I just finished my bike and have had a couple issues with it, it starts and runs great, but after I ride id for about 30-40 minutes and turn it off it doesn't want to start back up. It doesn't seem like a fuel issue, and at first I thought maybe it wasn't charging but I checked the leads...

    How-To: Permanent Magnet Alternator Swap (Also known as the Banshee Swap)

    So I tried using a capacitor with this swap and my bike would not fire, then I used one of those small .8ah 12v batteries and it was dead after 10 min of riding, so now I'm back to a regular battery. Does this mean something is wrong with the system? Or do those small batteries just not charge...

    Rear Axle Question??

    So I'm currently building up an 81 Special w/ TC Bros hardtail and all the parts are coming off an xs that someone turned into a chopper and all but destroyed that frame in the process. I went to put the rear tire on today and found that the spacing is wrong and the axle is about 1/2" too...

    Headtube Question??

    Hmmm, well maybe I was told the wrong year for the old frame or it may be modified to be shorter. I just noticed that the top tree is not off an xs650, the risers are part of the tree rather than being separate pieces, also the bottom tree has different headlight mounts, which makes me wonder if...

    Interested in the trees, do you know how long the headtube is on the frame they were on? I just picked up a new frame that needs a longer stem than my old one, so if your headtube is 7 1/2" long then I'll take them :)

    Headtube Question??

    So I started a build today on a new frame that I just purchased and the headtube is 3/4" longer than on my old frame which is an 81', which leaves we with a tripple tree that is too short :/ My question is, does anyone know what year of frame has a headtube that is 7 1/2" long? I'm assuming it...

    How-To: Permanent Magnet Alternator Swap (Also known as the Banshee Swap)

    How-To: Permanent Magnet Alternator Swap (Also known as the Banshee Swap)

    So if I were to do this install and use a smaller battery, like the .8amp 12v battery that a lot of people are using, would I be able to run an electric start still or would it be kick only? I also want to install a pamco ignition, if that will make a difference on that subject?
