XS650 Enthusiast
I got things a little out of order with how I started my posts here on the site. Instead of introducing myself, I just jumped right in with some questions. This post is an attempt to correct that oversight and to start to document my journey.
Introduction: my name is Brian and I recently bought a 81 XS650H (wow, that sounds a lot like a AA meeting). The bike had no title and did not (and still does not) run. It’s already been chopped and modified in all of the ways I would have done myself, so I’m pretty happy with what I got, even though it doesn’t run… yet! With the information on this site and the help from you guys answering questions, I’ve already rewired the bike and rebuilt the carbs. Working on timing right now. So this isn’t so much of a build thread as it is a “how do I get this thing running” thread.
Here’s some pics as I’ve read that’s a pretty big thing with everyone on the site. It might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s mine now AND I have a title on the way with the help of the courts
