My speedometer cable broke on me the other day going down the road. I have a 1980 xs650 Special. I found this one on ebay to replace it. I just wanted some peace of mind if anyone could tell me if it would fit. The description says "1980-1981 Yamaha XS650-2 Special II" With mine being a...

I have a 1980 special, replaced rotor, reads at 5.7ohms. New alternator brushes, and the timing is spot on. When idling, the battery reads 11.9 volts, and at 3~4k rpms it reads 12.3 or so. What could be my problem now? :banghead:

I bought a new signal switch, and included are the attachments of the diagrams we studied and copied over to rematch the wires. At first the horn button pressed turned on the high beam light that in the tachometer. We regrounded it, I believe, and the horn works fine. That's the only thing...

I do a lot of highway driving. Standard 65mph all day. My rpm's are way too high and I wanna take them down. It's a 1980 xs650 special I've looked into it a bit, but with my stock setup, I want to go to a 17/30 or a 17/31. I hear this will lower my highway rpm's considerably. To do so I just...

I just got my 4" baffles from TC Bros, it came with a coosie and a sticker. Now that's how business should be done! Anyways, I cut off my mufflers. Left the straight stock head pipes; they were much too loud. I'll using this as my work commuter and I'm on midnights. With these in, it...

I've got new euro bars coming in the mail, I'm wanting to clean up the front end. http://www.dimecitycycles.com/vintage-cafe-racer-caferacer-bobber-brat-chopper-custom-motorcycle-electronic-parts-chrome-left-side-handle-bar-control-switch-12-0041.html These look "plug and play" style, line...

Attached is a picture of the mufflers cut off, with the goopy welded stock baffles hanging on the end? This isn't mine, I took a sawzaw to mine and cut about a half inch shorter just before the baffle that's welded on. What's left is a head pipe with a few layers in it, did I screw myself to...

I've got a pretty much stock 80 650 special, Thinking of putting drag bars on it. What do you guys have on your bike?

Sorry, maybe a multiple post, but I'm a little lost and want to know if this is worth it. 1980 XS650 Special Exhaust cut at muffler, running just head pipes. Stock carbs. I cut my mufflers off the other day, now the bike is louder than hell, but still running well without playing with...

So I kind of mindlessly went out and got 15w-40 Rotella T heavy Duty oil. Here's a link to it. http://www.autozone.com/autozone/accessories/Shell-1-gal-SAE-15W-40-Rotella-T-heavy-duty-motor-oil/_/N-26qq?itemIdentifier=690222_0_0_ I can't use this is the bike can I?

Two things. If I need a blind plug, and only a blind plug, for the right side of my 80 xs650, on the left side of the carb, I see that they're like 1 or 2 dollars, but they all come with one to two week shipping that's $10 or more. Where can I get one now for cheap? Also, I know I'm...

My first motorcycle. This weekend I'm replacing the alternator rotor, (yes I know I should invest in the PMA swap) But hopefully after the new rotor the charging system will let my battery live! Anyway, When i turn the key on, the tail light comes on, but no headlight. Also, the blinkers...

Autozone's puller parts are english standard system, and the xs650 is all metric. Would any of these work, or anyone had luck loaning a part for pulling the rotor? I plan on calling tomorrow, but due to my time frame, I'm kind of trying to get this part to pull two rotors tomorrow...

I need a new rotor for my 1980 650, inconveniently I have to find the new set up with the magnet on the brushes. I may get a rewind service on it, but I'd like to see if anyone has an old one they'd like to part with on here.

I have a 1980 xs650 special, I think it's a tci rotor? I know I checked something on the engine above the left spark plug. Anyway, I'm buying a rotor to fix my charging system and was wondering if there was a quick way to be sure the rotor will work. Something about a magnet somewhere...

I'm looking for straight pipes, have an attachment included, sorry if it's one of your bikes, but looks killer. I don't know if I want them to just end near the pegs or roll off like these ones, but I know I'm gonna wrap them in black all the way down, anywhere good to get them for cheap for...

There's a spot on my carb that looks like it's missing a hose, It's the right side of the bike, identical to the left, but the left goes right up into the fuel peacock, and there's no other places it could go to? Sorry, I'm really new, just about to button up my charging system to get this...

My rotor has ohm'ed out and im looking for another one, any extras out there?
