Hey guys, Im having a issue w/ burning up coils. I have a PMA installed, and initially I had a set of mikes green monsters. They fried. I wasn't fully sure what the cause was. First thought was water damage as the coils are up front I have no front fender and a few rides in the rain. I checked...

Does anyone know the max tire width I can fit onto the front? I thought I read on here that a 130 is about the widest you can go? I just want to make sure I can fit the same tire I'm running on the back on the front too. I do Believe that THIS will fit as its a MT90/16 but want to make sure...

Time to re-jet.. I've pulled my air box as well as put on shorty exhausts cut down my headers and heat wrapped them. I've read the carb guides a few times and Im still not 100% sure how much I need to go up on my jets. Im also baffled as to one of the jets in my carbs. Sorry if this has been...

So Im getting around to doing a good ultrasonic cleaning on my carbs (83 XS650). While I'm doing a full carb rebuild I figured now would be a good time to pull my air box. Im thinking of either doing some cones/pods or possibly velocity stacks. I dont know much about velocity stacks except that...
