I am looking for a nice XS 650 Cafe racer rolling chassis with no engine. I may be interested in a project bike but it would have to be mostly complete. If you have a bike you no longer have time for please shoot me a message. No carbs, engine or exhaust needed. Thanks.

Hi everyone, I posted this a while ago. I am reporting back with my findings just in case anyone else is having this same problem with the Starting Gear 3 half moon clips, clip holder falling out. I have a recently rebuilt 1979 rephased XS 650 with a 750 kit. The starter gear was slipping...

Hi guys I have read all of the starter gear posts and I still have not had any luck finding the problem that I am having. I just fixed my starter gear issue but the two piece clip (the half circles that go under the cupped washer on gear 3) falls out after being used a few times. I am on my...

I agree, not going to use gasket sealer. I plan on bringing it to a friend who is a motorcycle mechanic to get it fixed correctly, I will ask him about the timecerts. Thanks again for the help

Decided to take my baby apart and do a helicoil fix.. I just bought this bike and it is MINT a small oil leak he said, easy fix he said.. LOL.. No matter I still would have bought it. I am looking forward to my rephrased 750 motor to be completed and installed. Riding again soon, hopefully

Hey everyone thanks for all of the great advise. I will let you guys know how I make out.

yeah, I figured I was heading down that road. was hoping not to.. LOL. Helicoil is no biggie but I will have to take the engine out to get at the bolts to fix correctly most likely. Thanks for the help.

Hey guys, I need some advise I just bought an xs 650 and the oil strainer cover is leaking. I figured no big deal so I bought a Gasket off of Mikes xs and after installing I am still having the leaking problem. I just ordered an oem gasket from Yamaha, the aftermarket gasket I bought was...

Here is my all original 1973 Yamaha Tx 650. Love the bike. I am currently building a 1979 xs 650 Street tracker, cant wait till that's done.

1982 Honda CB 750 K. The bike has 11K miles and is sold with a clean title and bill of sale. Runs but the carburetors leak gas. The front brake will need to be serviced and the petcock will need to be rebuilt or replaced. Will need a good cleaning, it had been sitting in the back of a garage for...

Yes the side extensions are easily taken off. It even came with an extension for the front if you had a chopper.

Cool, Thank you for the info..

Building a Street tracker I have a rear drum brake 78 model. I wanted to do a 19" rear spoked wheel and keep the stock rear drum setup. Has anyone done this? Cant seem to find a stainless steel spoke kit for it. I am trying to get the true street tracker look, just on spoked wheels. Should I...
