Hello all! Some may recognise me, some may not. I built a XS back around 2006. As with a lot of yall. It had charging system issues. I bought new stuff from Mikes and still couldnt get it charging. Once I got a hold of Tim Parrott he got me straigtened out. Well I have another XS and its not...

I have a 1976 XS 650 that was built by a pro about 4-5 years ago. This was a ground up, nut and bolt rebuild using only the best parts available. Frame was hardtailed on a frame jig and tig welded. The axle adjusters are threaded rod ends. Narrowed boat trailer rear fender. Fuel tank...

:banghead: I have had it with the Boyer Branson in my XS. its a complete system with the mini coil. I have already had to replace the blue box once last season. Saturday I went for a ride. Stopped at a gas station and fueled up. Pulled off and when my light turned green the bike died. After...

I was having some issues with my clutch not engaging smoothly lately. It seemed to get better when it was hot. I drained the oil and changed my spin on oil filter. Removed the engine / clutch cover. Removed my clutch plates for inspection. The plates looked great. What I did find was the...

My 1977 XS has new clutch plates (fibers & metals) and heavy clutch springs all purchased through Mikes XS. I'm no stranger to clutchs and everything looked fine upon installing. The install was straight forward with no problems. Problem is that wen the bike is first ridden the clutch is...

I am needing to purchase a new, blue box for my Boyer ignition. (Mikes XS#12-0090) Its been not availabale for over a month now. Any ideas were I can purchase it from someone else? I need to get one so I can get the bike running and sell it to start on my next project. Any links sure would help.

I am about ready to convert my Boyer over to the Pamco. ( due to the fact that the blue ignitor box is out of stock at Mikes XS and it cost less for a complete ignition than just the ignitor box for the Boyer) It looks like I will need the kit with a coil (Mikes XS#14-0901) as my Boyer coil...

My precious XS has failed to start. I havent rode it in about a month. It has been parked in my garage hooked to the battery Tender. Ran fine when parked! I have 12.8 volts at the coil, but no spark. 13.2 at the battery. Anyone know of trouble shooting procedures for the Boyer Branson...

I have aquired another XS and also a 12"over girder front end. I am thinking girder front end, dual over under square headlights, prism fuel tank, zbars, king queen seat, tall sissy bar and maybe even fishtail upswept exhaust. Add 2" gooseneck to the front of the frame and 2" strech on the back...

I was at Myrtle beach this weekend and I cant tell you how many people called my XS a triumph, Norton, BSA etc. I figured I would of prevented most of that by going with a vanity tag that says "XS650". Did Yamaha copy one of these engine designs? Do riders of XS"s often get this? On a side...

Another member mentioned organizing a XS 650 run/rally in another thread. I figured I would step up and start a thread to gauge interest. So who would be interested? I have some experience in organizing and planning these events, so if need be I will. obviously I would lean toward having it...

I would like to know how to wire my headlight to my neutral switch? I would like for the light to be off when the bike is in neutral. Could I just run the lights ground to the switch? I imagine it's a little more complicated. I just am trying to avoid adding a additional switch to my bike.

I was having serious problems getting my custom XS to charge. After talking with the Tim Parrot in Alabama. I decided to rewire the bike. I drew a diagram and would like for some others familiar, to have a look it and advise me of any potential problems. It is a 1976 Motor in a hardtailed...
