    My 1980 XS650

    Just wanted to post up some pictures of my XS650. It has a mild cafe treatment done to her. Not real sure of my complete plans yet. I would love to do a full Cafe but I need to be able to carry my wife of kids every now and then :) Since I have had it I just did some adjusting on the carbs...

    Need some help...engine spitting/misfiring

    I took the carbs off today and pulled all the jets and gave it all a good cleaning. I reinstalled the carbs and she runs great again with no problems. I guess she had just picked up some dirt or something that clogged a jet or passage way. Anyways she is running great again. Thanks for the help :)

    Need some help...engine spitting/misfiring

    It was already done when I bought it but it was running great with no popping at all ever since I bought it and I ride it daily. Thats why I say it is jetted right. *UPDATE* I decided to try something......... I started the bike and let it idle. While it was idleing I sprayed carb cleaner in...

    Seat question

    Ok I have figured out that I have an 1980 XS650 Special II. From reading on here that explains my spoked wheels and hinged seat. So my question is about the seat. What seats will fit? Since it is still a hinged seat like the earlier standards will an earlier seat fit?

    Clutch slipping when cold

    I recently got my XS650 and it is in great shape. I have not changed the oil yet because he said he had just changed it and when I check it the oil looks brand new. I'm wondering if the wrong oil could be causing the problem I'm having though........ When I first crank the bike the clutch will...

    Cutting out at high speed/rpm

    Thanks for the help guys. I'm going to check the float levels tomorrow because that's really how it feels....like it just needs more fuel. I plan on switching the rear sprocket to a 30 probably. Ill post up some pictures as soon as I can. Thanks again!
