I remeasured the push rod again (I should have measured twice originally) It measured 50 mm. I guess I failed to push it back, therefore I did not remove it. I removed the newly installed starter gear, it was already beginning to show wear. I cleaned up the metal burs with a file and reinstalled...

Very detailed information, I should be able to get to it tomorrow. Thanks.

How do I remove one ball?

Thanks, my manual is not as clear as yours, especially the last few washers. I will be taking it apart again.

Thanks!

Thanks, I have had a 71 and still own a 72, both great bikes. Just doing due diligence.

Are there any particular problems with the 1976 version of the XS 650 that a perspective purchaser should know about prior to purchase? Thanks.

No, plug and play. This is a real "horny" issue;)

In my opinion it is much louder than stock. You'll be impressed.

In my opinion it is very LOUD. Much louder than stock.

I believe you are right. Can't have too much horn with the crazy steel cage zombies out there!

I bought a Hella $11 horn from Amazon. They can hear me from miles around now!
