I've got 77 xs650 and it recently started acting sluggish and misfiring randomly. It only occurs during takeoff in first and second gear. After I get to third and up it's fine. I'm still new to this and don't really have a clue where to start. I've done some searching but couldn't manage to find...

I'm getting a high vibration and what I think is over-reving when my bike gets to around 2k-3k rpm. It started doing this last year as I was putting it away for the winter. It ran fine before that. I'm still kind of a noob at all this and I'm not sure where to start. Here's a video that shows...

Any one ever had this stuff build up on their gas cap? It wasn't there a month ago. Should I be worried about anything other than the cap it self rusting? Is it something to do with the fuel?

Okay guys, I'm loving my 77 650 as my first bike. I've done a few repairs and restored the carbs as well as re-jetted them after putting on some pod air filters. And now it runs great. But after about 20-40 minutes of riding I'll go to stop at a red light or a stop sign and it'll just die. I...

I'm new to this forum and a new rider as well, just saying hello. I just went for my first real ride on my new bike. And oh my god is it fun as hell! I used to ride on the back of my dads bike when I was a kid but it's 1000 times more fun when you're in control. Here's my bike. It's a pretty...

I recently bought a 1977 xs650 and finally passed my motorcycle test and all that. But I went to start up the bike but when I turned the gas petcocks to ON gas started to just pour out from somewhere between the carbs. I'm new to this but I'm pretty sure that's not supposed to happen. There's...
