Hello all, I have an 82 heritage special, with bs34 carbs w/pods, and running some strange exhaust I made that is capped at the ends and the exhaust shoots out of the sides thru some plumbing fittings that I welded into the pipes. Anyways. I bought the jetting kit from mikes and it helped...

I replace my clutch pack and springs, and I was adjusting the clutch and the bike just started running terrible. It idles fine, but when you get on it, it starts to sputter extremely bad. Anybody got any ideas? Also, before adjusting it was running fine. Its an 82

I am rebuilding my alternator rotor and I forgot to take pictures. Where is the timing mark located relative to the key slot on the rotor?

I found an 81 or 82 xs650 for 200 bucks but it has no title. It has good compression and no spark, it is a complete bike and I am thinking I could get a lot more than that out of it just selling parts. Think its worth it? How hard is it to obtain a new title for something in WI?

Why did my front caliper lock up? I was riding, then all of a sudden it smelled like burning and my bike was acting strange like there was a clutch issue. After pushing it up on the sidewalk, I threw it on the centerstand and the front wheel was locked up. So, I called my buddy who came with...

I noticed my wire harness smoking a little bit in front of the battery box, so I unwrapped it and found this thing that kind of looks like a resistor that goes to a blue/yellow wire. Then that blue/yellow wire is capped off connected to a black wire. Also, it only smokes and gets hot when the...

I just got a new used front brake assembly and the cant seem to get any fluid to the caliper. I tried to gravity bleed it by leaving the cap off, and pulling the bleeder screw out. That didn't do anything, so I hooked up a tube to the bleeder screw and sucked on it like a straw and that didnt...

Pm if you have a working one in good shape

Has anybody made a 3d model of an xs650? If so, what program was used? I use pro-e myself and I have been thinking about modeling up every part and making an assembly so that it could be easily modified and switch out parts. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I ordered a tank off ebay and i have no idea what year it is for, just a dummy tank to practice painting before the real one. I do not have the keys, so has anyone been successful in removing a cap without destroying it? And it has dual petcocks. Is there one for each carb?

left cylinder will not fire when choke is on. After it warms up for a bit, and you push the choke back in it starts firing. This is an issue because I assume it is just washing the cylinder. Any ideas?

My girlfriend got me one of those ultra sonic cleaners from harbor freight, (the 2.5 quart one). So I took the float bowls off the carbs and stuck em in there with water and sprayed a bunch of simple green in there. Holy crap, that is the most amazed I have ever been with something from...

My choke cable is bad and I don't really want the choke cable anyway, I would like to make some kind of lever and I was just looking for ideas on how this might be done. Also, what are those little rubber plugs in the pilot jet passages for? I pulled them out when I cleaned the carbs but...

Hi, I just picked up an 82 xs650 heritage special a couple of days ago for 250 bucks. It is beat to hell and needs a ton of work. I made sure to try the kick starter for compression before I took it home and it has compression. I tested it at home with a new battery in and I have 145 on the...
