Can anyone point me in the right direction for a dual throttle assembly control to fit 1" bars? I am trying to convert the 7/8" setup on my 74 XS650 to fit 1" bars. I am also looking for the correct clutch assembly as well. There are several options on ebay but id be just taking a guess on...

my MikesXS clutch cable snapped off at the lever this weekend. this cable had maybe 400 miles of riding on it. Its funny how after it broke I dug up what could still be the original cable and it works great. Is there a another source out there that provides generic clutch cables that may work...

curious as to what would cause the bike to only start if throttle is applied while coming down on the kick start. if i kick it with no throttle it will eventually after 10-20 kicks sound like its getting close to wanting to start. give it some gas durring the kick over and it fires over on 1...

After many carb tear towns, cleanings, re-adjustments the bike is riding condition but still a little doggy and dies if i keep on it in the mid range. previous to this afternoon this condition was so bad is was not ridable. BTW the main issue was a total overlooked noob problem...

how do i measure the floats on the BS 38's. here is my assumption: remove bowls place carb upside down on flat surface with the float now resting on the needle measure from the rim where bowl gasket lines up to the float. im not sure what part of the float your suppose to measure to...

I think im having fuel issues and need to start over at stock and work from there. what size main & pilot were stock with a 74 TX with the 38's?

finally worked out a spark issue and got my bike starting on one kick with a good idle. as soon as i give it throttle the bike dies. it is also sputtering pretty hard through the carbs when im trying to kick it back over. sometimes i have to give it gas while kicking it over and continue to...

I am running the pamco ignition with mikesXS part number 17-6803 with a primary resistance of 2.7 ohms. i am getting very random & sporadic spark only, and never enough to get the bike running. when checking for spark, i am able to get a smaller plug to produce less of this sporadic spark...

just installed a replacement pamco. checked all my wiring and took my time. after i was done i did an inspection and everything looked good. turned key on and started right up with one effortless kick. let it sit idling for about 30 seconds (good idle) turned gas on and the bike shut down...

the Pamco electronic igntion calls out for a dual output coil similar to the MikesXS part #17-6810 or 17-6822. I have the 17-6822 and the 17-6803. I have been using the 17-6822 but am reinstalling a new Pamco and the 17-6803 will mount to my bike alot better than the 17-6822. my question...
