Hi fellas, I just finished rebuilding my 79 xs650 special and it runs great except for one issue. When I am on the freeway it runs great but I when I stop from the freeway it either dies or when I rev it, it take a while for the rpms to come down. It will start right back up, but same issue...

hi, I have a 1979 xs650 special with pod air filters, open exhaust with a small baffle, and a pamco ignition system. I went up one on the main and two on the pilot, and did nothing more. Here's the deal, it was running pretty good, then the bike was having issues which turned out to be a wire...

Hi there! I have recently turned my 1979 xs650 special's dash into led idiot lights. I used 12v LEDs from radioshack. And they worked great for a while but now the neutral light is burnt out again. I figure it is the first to go because it is on more of the time. I think that it burned out...

Hi There! I just finished rebuilding my 1979 XS650 Special and put on straight pipes and pod filters, BS38 carbs and I just wanted to know the tuning protocol. Start it up and let it idle then check the plugs. If it is rich or lean what do I adjust? The pilot jet or Mixture screw. I don't have...

Hi, I just put my bike back together and I can't remember how/where this is mounted. A pic would be great. Thanks This thing:

Well the title pretty much says it all. I recently redid my 79xs650 special and I have made it kickstart only, removed the safety relay, turn signal canceler, starter solenoid, and light checker. It starts right up and everything works but after about a minute of running, the kill switch fuse...

I recently rebuilt my 79 650 special and it was running just fine, started right up and ran great for a while. But the other day, it was idling and just died. No warning, sputtering, just died. It won't start with starting fluid. When I kick it over air is being pushed out of the breather...

Well,here it is, fully rebuilt and not quite done. Still got to put on the mufflers and tune it, but I can't quite figure out what I don't love about it. I have been messing around on photoshop and can't put my finger on it. Too close I think. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Maybe...
