Hey guys does anyone have/know where a I can buy some +2 34mm tubes for XS650?? Appreciate any feedback thanks!:thumbsup:

Appreciate the info Ill be sure to look into this later today! Thanks alot

I am human and do make mistakes...if Everything else seems right is the only logical answer that the cam would be off 1 tooth then??

Retiredgentleman yes i set everything just as the manual said while instaling the cam chain. 5twins thanks for the tip ill give that a try when i get home

No first time rebuilding it though,I have new cam chain and new points, gaps are set at .012-.015...and im almost certain im not a tooth off on the cam since i checked cam timing with a degree wheel. I feel im missing something stupid but im out of ideas. i just need a tad more movement out of...

Thanks for the response 5twins.. bike is starting on first kick and running relatively well but with timing light on rotor at an idle it still seems to be hitting at TDC instead of at the fire mark and im all out of room to turn my points backing plate. any ideas on what could be the issue??

I have read in other threads its best to check with a light to see when points start to open and this got it closer so now opening right at TDC which still isnt correct but its a step in the right direction. I also tried holding my advance weights open which takes up that "Play" in the advance...

Hi all, running into an issue with timing my 75 xs. I am currently trying to time the right cylinder points at the fire mark. i have the plugs out and valve covers off and am just rotating the motor counterclockwise with a wrench on the flywheel to see when the points spark..i believe this is...

hey guys I know this is a really old thread but just have a quick question. I have a 75 and while setting my timing im noticing there is some slop or play in my advance rod unit..is this normal?

Sweet thats exactly whats going on! Thanks a lot guys this is my first 650 build just trying to figure it all out!

Alright, at TDC I set my degree wheel at 0. I set an indicator on top of the left (rotor) side intake valve tappet. I start to rotate the rotor counter clockwise just like the service manual says and instantly the intake starts opening...Which to my understanding it shouldnt be opening until 36...

Yes while at TDC, thanks for the response guys...I am curious though there does not seem to be an equal amount of "dwell" in each way you rotate the rotor. It seems to have more dwell when the rotor is rotated one way over the other. The only thing i can think of is being 1 tooth off on the cam...

Hi guys just finishing up putting my top end back together on my 75. I am checking the timing with a degree wheel just to make sure things are set right before putting engine back into frame. while at TDC there is a slight lag or dead spot in the piston travel although the intake valve is...

Hey there guys just curious if anyone may know about this. While trying to check the voltage going through the battery while my bike is running the meter jumps all over. It wont stay at a solid 13.5-14.0 volts. Is the battery shot?? Thanks

Hey thanks a lot Fredintoon I appreciate the feedback.

Really liking the look of riserless handle bars for my 75' XS, just curious to get some feedback on which type of grommet to use in the actual top triple clamp. Or if turning down some homemade rubber bushings would work?? Any feedback would be much appreciated!!

Sick build man love it!! Not going to rip on you for no front brake because any experienced rider knows how to deal with only a rear brake. Just curious as to where you got that awesome Gold chain From!? :thumbsup:

Want to weld up my own set of pipes for my 75' xs but curious as to how the motors run and how the valves hold up if not having baffles. Any feedback would be great thanks!
