See if he said something along the lines of that XSJoel, I would have been fine with that and most likely would have took it in to see what was going on. But since he responded to my question the way he did. Insulting me, the parts I chose, and the people I bounce ideas off (the xs community/...

I didn't have my bike inspected for free, he charged me $150 for the diagnosis. Your right the way I should have asked Hugh for any technical support, since it is his product. I didn't ask Mike about the PMA, it just came up in our conversation about my bike when I talked about what I've done to...

**** BACK STORY **** I bought a XS650 bobber from a guy here in the Puget Sound. The bike didn't run when I got it (didn't mind a little project). So I found a shop in my area called Wise Guys Choppers, who "specialize" in these bikes apparently. Had it inspected and found that between the...

Great looking bike!

I have, and no longer thinking about getting those.

That's good to know Captmilk, thanks for your help

your the second person to tell me about 650central and Mike, Captmilk. Gonna take a look into that! Thanks!

I took my carbs of my XS the other day, because I was getting spark but no fuel I think. I'm still running the the '83 34mm Mikuni's. So took them off and removed the float bowls to see if I had any chocolate milk stuff in there, thinking the bike has never had these cleaned since '83. To my...

Okay, looks like my bike has spark and the electricals working so I went ahead and took the carbs off to give them a good once over and think I found the issue. The main nozzle came loose and was rolling around in the bottom of the float bowl on the left side. The brass tube that runs through...

So I hooked a battery to a battery and nothing, I'm thinking the carberators are gunked up.

I'll try hooking it to a battery when I get home.

Okay, so I just got done with getting all the electrical ran on my bike. I'm running the Pamco ignition with a Hugh's PMA and a capacitor. Tried starting it, bike won't start. Now, I'm thinking that since its been sitting for a while during the rebuild, the carbs got gunk up. I also remember...

Yeah I believe your right Speez.

Ok so I '83 XS650 special that is bobbed. I'm rewiring it and I'm using a stock harness. I have ungraded its system with a Pamco ignition and Hugh's PMA plus a capacitor to replace the battery, so now it's time to hook it all up and get it running for the first time. Does anyone know or have any...

I rode it and when I went from fourth trying to go into fifth it wants to go, but stays in fourth. I appreciate the help guys.

I rode it and it's only engaging four gears. one down and three up, something must be burned out and not engaging the fifth gear.

I have a friend that has a 72 and want to add a fifth gear to his XS. Does anyone know if he can or is he out of luck?

Thanks Leo

Thanks tony, I'm taking out the electric start anyways and going to kick only.
