i just finished rebuilding my 80' xs650 a couple of months ago, this is my first build and bike and am new to all of this. First since i have had it finished the bike has ran great no problems. Then yesterday all of a sudden it died on me figure the battery had died. The screw to the negative cable came loose so i tightened it and charged the battery started fine. got out to ride it it died on me again this time while riding was losing power while giving it gas and kept feeling it wanted it stall and sounded like it kept backfiring. Got it started up again did the same thing while riding but this time trying to start it up again my battery got low and the light went very dim and it wouldnt turn over. So im very confused what it could be. Battery? charging system? another electrical issue? or fuel filter anything with the gas?
