I have a new to me 1971 xs1-b that I have been working on for some time, and now have it up and running. We (me and the bike) have logged 250 miles together so far with great success. Following is a list of minor issues That I need advice on.
1, the engine doesn’t return to idle as quickly as it should when shifting gears and setting at stop lights. This doesn't happen until the bike is completely warmed up. The advance seems to be working properly. I took it all apart and cleaned and lubricated it.
2, I can't down shift without engaging the clutch a tiny amount. If the clutch is totally disengaged I can't shift down to the next lower gear without letting the clutch out a small amount. This only happens when the engine is completely warmed up.
3, The tac and speedometer needles bounce up and down. The speedometer bounces about five mph above and below the desired speed. The tachometer does the same thing. Both instruments have new cables. Thanks.
