So I have an XS650 Special SG Nothing but trouble, shes in good condition, but f me, I haven't had much riding time I got her out after winter, got her legal again I was having troubles (which I thought were due to the new Uni Filters) I took it to the XS650 expert round my ways (not much to...

yawn.. must you find comfort in defining your bike as a 'something' ?

Wow, glad you got the bike back, but sheesh wtf was she thinking..

Check out my girls new music video with these pop dudes.. There's even a Yamaha in there! Lol..

Thank you very much sir!

I am looking for a new set of brushes, haven't looked what I have yet co it's my daily driver, and I'm a learn as I go guy, so don't want to mess around with it til I've got new ones to put in. I see on ebay a couple different types.. One with extra big tabs with 2 holes.. They all say they...

Got her officially road legal. Went home removed turn signals, and front guard. Put fork brace on. Tinted headlight yellow. (& the tank is back on)..

All the fuel line, filter, air filter jazz is done.. Few backfires. Will look into it further tomorrow, Has been sitting for a bit.. May need to rejet eh! Why do my petcock things come out at different angles, where the fuel pisses out, one faces in one face back..? Oh and the side...

Cool thanks! I have Uni Filters on the way, and got new fuel filters and fuel lines (old ones were bent a bit).. Will all be put back together after my tank is finished! I debadged it on the weekend, bogged it up, flat blacked it, now my missus is doing some wee drawings on it for me - a la...

After having a read, I think I will go with some Uni filters. Am I right in identifying my carbs as BS38's? The OD of the carb intake is 52mm.. So I am guessing the Uni #UP4200ST? So bout the photos up the wrong fn way..

So, do I go with the standard inserts for the air boxes? Or open a can of worms with pod filters? I'm bound to head that way eventually, so may as well bite the bullet now.. Am I destined for a re-jet?

Thanks guys! Well I just discovered there are no air filters in the air boxes.. could this be the cause?

^^ A million thanks! I got it apart, cleaned it up, and managed to squeeze bits to make it hold tight. Lights now work! I even did a happy dance for real.. I can now go get it officially road legal.

Thanks for the replies guys.. Yes I have the Haynes and Clymer manuals! So, the battery was only at 10V, so I charged that up to 12.5V, and all is well. I still had a problem with the headlight/taillight not going sometimes, so I first cleaned up the battery area, checked the ground...

I put a question mark at the end. I have no idea what the problem is. I have heard about charging issues, and seen lots about PMA's. I was wondering is this why the move to PMA.. I will be going through everything with a fine tooth comb yes..
