Hey guys,
Newbie here with lots of interest and questions for the remarkable body of knowledge that I am finding on this site. Been mechanically inclined since my teens (that was a long, long time ago !) and have only recently gotten into bikes. Have been riding an XT350 for a couple of seasons and am trying to step up my game. Have three XS's; a '77, an '81 and and '83. The first and the last are titled, the '81 is not. The '77 is a "barn-find". Found it in my own barn as I have owned it for 25 years but haven't touched it as life go in the way. Starting to make it roadworthy and inspection-legal, as it will need to be both before it gets plated in the spring. Hoping to get some advice from the membership along the way.
Happy Holidays to the XS650.com crew from snowy Montreal!
Tom
