    Front brake locked up. XS650SH

    I'm not a big fan of the cheap chinessem brake lines. I prefer a quality brand like HEL. You need to figure out what the problem is. My guess and it's only a guess is the caliper didn't release all the way. Pressure built up from the heat and the MC did not release. Something had to cause...

    I don't think B has anything to with the starter. I'm sure someone will be along that knows more than I do.

    Procedure/Tips for Installing Stock Rear Fender on Early Model

    I am 99.9% sure this is for a 72. Several times when installing the rear fender I thought there had to be something wrong with the fender, brackets or stay. I was always wrong. Hard to explain.
