small intro.. from NY just outside of NYC (anybody close by?)
about 5 years ago I discovered the xs650 and for some odd reason I just wanted it. dont know why... but it was calling to me. its not my style at all. I race a 2015 r6.. I street ride a honda grom.. dirt bike crf250.. so this kind of bike is all new to me. so when all the stars aligned I purchased (facebook marketplace) this 1977 in sept for $800 not running.. added a battery and some starting fluid and it started right up. rode here and there and had some fuel leaking from the petcocks so I swapped for new gaskets (still leaking). im about to start a total teardown. dont know what im really doing but I have the oem manual and I will keep updating this post with photos and questions as this journey continues. Thanks for all the future help and knowledge that you guy will give me. and if you randomly want to give me tip tricks and advice... feel free.. its all welcomed
