new owner, new member

Well I've used the hell out of this site before I sealed the deal and since taking ownership of a 1976 XS650. Seen there's a ton of Michigan riders all around me, figured I'd join.

Bike has 14,000 miles. 99% all original, just has new tires and exhaust. From research here it seems the ignition advance needs un-crudded and lubed, that or I'm taking a crash course in carb maintenance.

Traded a vintage enduro even up. No plan to chop/bob . Love the classic look . Guess that's the best intro I got.

Welcome, Good idea keeping it stock for a bit while you get to know each other. We'll look forward to seeing what you're working with.
