He looks better on it then I ever did, too. It ain't fair! Treat each other well! I'll be back once I've started acquiring more parts for the brat bob

I'm thinking you're right. And less leaves around in the photographs.

I have it for $2500 on Facebook marketplace. But I'd certainly go lower for an XS lover. I just need to recoup my losses on the truck and make sure I have some left over for parts for the xs I'm working on in my basement so I'm not motorcycle-less for the entire winter riding season! (One of my...

And guess who rewound the rotor that's on this puppy!

Beautiful condition stock XS. Runs great! I've owned it for a year and a half and it has been my daily ride. Only 7600 miles on the odometer and the inside of the tank is the cleanest I've ever seen on a bike this old. I really hate to sell it but my truck has expensive issues. Fortunately I...

I know it's a good precaution. The only reason I didn't add an inline filter was because of how nice my tank looks inside.

I figured I could just drop them without removing the carbs. Didn't get a chance to do anything with it today. But I rode around and its acting like it was before. Just happened the one time. I'm off tomorrow so I'll go through everything. Thanks y'all!

Well if that's the case it seems to have worked itself out mostly. I road arround the neighborhood without a helmet just now. Pops at low rpms in second gear but not first. I guess that's still probably the pilots doing?

Seemed like the carbs. They were small pops not exhaust pops. Kinda crackly. From right under me. It was when I gave it a bit of throttle. And like I said, I've been riding the bike with no troubles until now.

Also, I reckon I should mention that it wasnt sitting in the rain while I was at work. It was under a covered garage.

Bike is new to me. Had it for around three months. Two of which I spent trying to get the title transferred due to covid and dmv shutdowns. Hence, only having put about 150 miles on it. I went through the charging system as well when I first got it. Got a rewound rotor from Jim (Thanks again...

So I went to work earlier in the day. Bike ran fine. When I was leaving work, it started to pop and sputter until it fully warmed up. When I left for work it was 95 and sunny. Leaving work, it had been raining and was down to 77 degrees. Maybe the low pressure system coming through had...

What price are you thinking? I'm in Rva, and I have a buddy trying to get his first bike. Trying to convince him to buy an XS.

Honestly its one of the only things I thought about keeping for the one I'm building. Not sure if it'd look good on a brat bob..

Anyone in the RVA area need an extra parts bike? Motor is free. No title on it. Frame is in good condition if you can find a title, though. Got a 2 fer 1 deal and don't need anything from this bike. Asking 4 or 500.
