Hey all,
I recently purchased a 1979 xs650 special 2 and am wondering if I need to get the Basic High Output Standard Ignition/PMA Package (Part #24-2670 on mikesxs) or the Complete High Output Standard Ignition/PMA Package (Part #24-2671 on mikesxs)?
For the basic kit it says, "Note: For 1980-84 North American models see other kit versions which include the advance parts needed that are normally absent on the 1980-84 models."
I know most 80-84 models were specials, so I'm wondering if the 1979 special 2's have those "advance" parts or am I good with just the basic it?
I'm also thinking about replacing the carbs with mikuni racing carbs that I've heard good things about...my bike is an original barn find so any advice on parts or stock problems for getting the bike reliable would be appreciated!
