    Who has the most and least miles on their XS650

    My '81 has 4,600 on it. The buddy of mine that I bought my XS from bought an 82 Virago 500 after he sold the XS. It has 2,000 miles on it and he has had nothing but problems with it. He paid 2 grand for the thing! Looks like I got the better deal!

    Poor gas mileage

    I've gotten 52 and then 54 on two consecutive tanks, the second being about 40 miles highway. I couldn't be happier. I am running the stock jets on an 81 650.

    My New '81 XS650 (pictures)

    Finally road ready! She has been my summer project so far and has been a blast to work on. This is my first motorcycle and I can't wait to get on the road. Bought her off of a fraternity brother of mine for $700. Quite a steal for only having 4000 miles. :D

    81 XS Running Like Poop

    You ever have one of those moments when you are convinced you are an idiot? It was out of gas... Good thing I didn't take the carbs off like I was about to do. Crisis avoided. This means she is road worthy!! Wahoo!!! Off to the DMV next week!

    81 XS Running Like Poop

    Okay so I am soooooo close to having her road ready. This is the laasst thing! Here is my issue: She will start and idle fine, but as soon as you blip the throttle at all, it wants to die. But the wierd thing is that it is not all the time. Sometimes it runs perfectly fine, and then will just...
