I've gone through the carbs, cleaned and red-Koted the tank. I have new rubber mounts and hoses coming for the the carb mounting. I have a new master cylinder also on it's way. The rear brakes will also be checked this week. I'm going with gravity petcocks, rather than the original vacuum.
Before I start it up in the next week or so, I'd like to know the best route to pre-lube the engine and get the valves going on the upper end. I read the following thread: http://www.xs650.com/threads/barn-find-4k-original-miles-with-a-backfire-and-ticking.45903/ which had a bent exhaust valve. I'd like to avoid that. Any advise would be appreciated.
Thanks!
