Hi guys, I'm trying to sort out a new to me 1975 xs650b. I've been getting a bit of a splatter on the hub around the speedo drive. I pulled the front wheel off today out came what looked like a little bit of water. Am I missing a seal or something? I took a few pics, one of the speedo side of...

I've been getting the itch to get a new bike and want to hear from forum members who have some experience on BMW airheads. How does the xs650 stack up against the BMW r65? I'm more interested in comparison's in the ride than parts availability but any info is welcome. Thanks fellas.

I ran a quick search and didn't find what I was looking for, so I'm going to ask it here- To the guys who have logged enough time in the seat of both a xs650 and a sr500 to really know, which do you think is the better bike? I've ridden quite a few bikes- a couple of 90's 600cc sport...

So how often does a guy need to adjust the tension on his drive chain? I checked mine about two weeks ago and it had lots of play in it. I adjusted it to approx 3/4" of deflection. I hit the highway and about 500kms later it was loose again. I adjusted it again, with someone sitting on it, to...

I ran a quick search on how to make a manometer for carb syncing, no real luck. Yes, I am a caveman. I need a how to with detailed pictures to make sure I do it right. Anyone know where to find one? Thanks.
