Whats up guys. Finally got done with my top end rebuild and not sure if the noise coming out the top is normal or not. Could it be the cam lobs (it seems I can hear them when i do a prime kick )? Here are a list of the new parts I installed and a video of the noise. New: -cam bearings...

Hey guys. I know this topic has been beaten up pretty bad but I just wanted to make sure of a few things. It seems I have the longer push rod with two bearings. I just wanted to make sure that one of the bearings is supposed to be in the worm and the other between the push rod and push...

Hey guys. Just having a little trouble trying to figure out whether or not my cam is centered. I know that the notch on the left side of the cam needs to be pointing straight up and the dimple on the opposite side needs to be a the gasket surface level (engine is TDC) . I did all that but am...

Whats up guys. I just installed my brand new cam bearings onto my cam shaft and there seems to be some noise coming from the bearings. The noise is like a whizzing sound and there is also a noise coming out that kind of sounds like flat tire. The old ones I took off didn't roll as long but...

Hey guys, just ordered cylinder base gasket from Mikesxs for my engine and got a blue colored one instead of the usual green. Is this a different type ? Or are they the same ?

Whats up guys. So I just installed my front cam chain tensioner and it seems to be a little off center. As I lowered my cylinders down over the tensioner it slid right up against the cam chain tunnel. Is this going to be an issue ? I figured as long as it is able to put tension onto the cam...

What do you guys think of this gasket surface. There seems to be a lot of scartches from blades and some very stubborn marks that don't want to come off... Iv tried wd40, gasket remover, lacrathinner, and some goof off type stuff... Do you guys think installing the head looking like this...

Whats up guys. Just wondering if anyone out there knows of a good low profile master cylinder for single disk break for a xs650 ? found this one on Mikesxs but not sure if it would work with my caliper... Part # 08-6009 not planing on running it through a switch, just straight to the break...

Looking for a 16" rear wheel. Let me know if there any out there. Thanks !

So the entire reason for doing a rebuild on my engine was to get to the cam chain tensioner. Finally after stripping the thing all the way down to the cam chain tensioner there is a f@cking stripped screw on the plate that holds it down :banghead:! any ideas on how to get the thing out ? Or...

Not sure on which cam chain I should order from Mikesxs. I have 1975 xs650 but cant seem to find a chain that falls under that year.

quick question for you guys. I'm trying to do a top end rebuild and released my camshaft by keeping the cam chain on and pushing the cam bearings out. I removed the tensioner to give the chain some slack and found that the bearings were still on pretty tight. So I ended up taking a rubber...

Looking for a new front cam chain guide. Anyone have one up for grabs ? If not do you guys know how long the shipping is from Yambits in the UK to the united states. I may just have to order through them. Thanks !

The black plastic base seems to still have lots of thickness but the sides have gotten chewed up a bit. What do you guys think, time for a new one or will this one still work fine ? I am also replacing the rear guide due to it rubbing to chain and metal. Just not sure if I need to replace the...
