SOLD SOLD

Saratoga New York I am selling my 1981 Yamaha XS650 with 13,500 miles. I bought this bike this past spring with plans to build my second custom XS650 but my plans have changed. I put about 20-30 miles on it before it was parked in my garage for the summer. As of right now it just needs a...

Finally got my bike running after a winter rebuild and it had been running great. Went out on a ride yesterday and it left me stranded on the side of the road with no spark. I'm running the PAMCO and this is the 3rd unit I've had since I bought the bike. First unit left me dead on the side...

This may seem like silly questions but this is my first bike build. I recently tore down a 75 I bought this past spring to clean it up and make it "mine." I am torn between doing the PMA swap and running no battery but at the same time to save myself the $300 in parts I might just keep the...

In trying to sort out my lack of spark last night I think I may have shorted out the coil trying to run jumper wires to bypass non essential parts. I tested one primary to the core and get 3.2. I tested from the other primary to the core and get nothing (open) If I tweaked another coil I...

Ran some test last week on my coil and based on the result it was suggested the coil was blown. Pete also suggested the PAMCO was bad so I went ahead and ordered a new one and he tossed in the new rotor for free. Finally had a chance to swap out the parts and still not spark on either side...

Hey guys/gals just bought my first XS early in the summer and I'll be honest it was the first road bike I've ever owned. I've always been into building cars and trucks namely VWs but of late I've caught the bike bug. I am not one to buy something off the showroom floor and I didn't want to...

So I was riding the other day and all was fine and then the bike simply shut off and I coasted to a stop on the side of the road. Let me preface by saying this is my first XS and although I consider myself rather mechanical, electrical is not my strong point. I've read a ton of threads etc...

Been lurking around here a bit but seems most of the lurking happens when I am broke down on the side of the road. I picked up a used 75 about a month ago and I think I've put a total of 50 miles on it in between all my issues. I guess that's what I get for buying a 30 plus year old bike...
