    This Head Look Straight?

    In fact he learned several ways--a lot of 'their' ways. He saw many of 'their' ways left them on the couch & they never learned any other way, regardless of their creativity. He learned to quit asking if it was okay, becoming learned by doing. I'm goin' for a ride. The generic questions...

    This Head Look Straight?

    The idea for opening the intake ports is to remove as much obstacle as possible, its not a stupid drunken action. The stock XS carbs I have have a 37mm opening & the stock intake manifold quickly tapers to the 32mm intake of the cylinder head. In my opinion this obstruction is a negative...

    This Head Look Straight?

    Learning! Big into IT. I love pushin' my bike home until I get it all figured out (no kiddin!) I've never messed w/ an XS650 before &, to be completely honest, I'm not a humongous fan other than I like the motor. You see, I have an affliction...someday I want to have my own motorcycle...

    That's okay, I'm really procrastinating on the homework I need to do. Mark Twain said, "Never put off till tomorrow what you can do day after tomorrow just as well."

    Nice Looker, from here. I always heard it was substantial luck ta buy a bike on a day it rains?! But, then again, even here in the Midwestern part of the US nobody likes their party rained out. Chheeers!

    This Head Look Straight?

    So, I pulled the springs from the cylinder & getting it ready to go to the machinist. I should not pull the valve guides, right--hell, I'm not even sure I can--but am I overlookin' something that should come off? Also, these guide seals are in pretty good shape but one of them is ripped...

    Mikes Valve compressor

    $6 all weekend rental, right here--OH YEAH!!! I used a friends once that made one from a giant C-clamp but it ended up grooving my valve ends as I tightened or loosened it, he hadn't added a dual spinning head type thing so, every time I twisted the throttle of it..well...ya get it... So I'll...

    PAMCO is in.

    Yeah, Pregrid-- Now, obviously I'm not the ripest apple in the bunch but I understand that the coil has separate pieces & between those pieces is either paper (lower quality) or plastic (higher quality)--If I'm understanding that wrong I'm kool bein' learned. I'd heard of it awhile ago &...

    PAMCO is in.

    What's the deal w/ that Ultimate Coil? I am reading that has a possible 82Kv but what exactly does that mean--possible? I'm thinkin' to get one, I usually go w/ Accel but I might try something different this time. To get the 82Kv do I need to rig it up any special way? See the Accel is a 45Kv...

    correct engine oil for 78 XS650E

    20w 50 normally for any motorcycle (I know 10w 40 is regular) but if it gets really hot out I might drain a quart & add a quart of SAE 30--make sure if ya do this not ta mix synthetics with fossil.

    Fair Price for Plating?

    I'm new ta chrome plating anything, normally I like dull colors, but I've a pretty nice springer here & I'm thinking of havin' it plated, maybe nickle or chrome, probably nickle but haven't fully decided. Because I figure each of 'em are 'bout the same cost, regardless, & I know not all platers...

    My sad story, advice needed...

    Yeah, but look--I had ta fix so many things whenever I was younger that I got fed up w/ it: I've killed quite a few bikes in my life & let several cars get repo-ed just because I came ta view 'em as disposable (in a lot of ways it was right)--I'd kill a bike then sit around for a couple months...
