    Flasher Unit

    I have found that turn signals require full voltage to operate. Try testing with the engine at a fast idle or with a charger connected to the battery. You may also need to clean up wiring connections to the flasher.

    Shutdown in the rain

    Again, thank you for the responses. I eliminated bad gas as a possibility. Also it is not plugged carbs. Fuel system seems fine. The plan moving forward is to check and waterproof the coils, clean and dielectric grease all connectors and possibly get the TCI boxes overhauled. At this point in...

    Shutdown in the rain

    Thanks for the suggestions. Both bikes were charging fine. (Voltmeters on both) I didn't check the air filters but 1 runs pods and the other is stock with good filters. I could see the pods getting soaked but I don't see how that much water could infiltrate the stock filters. Something to test...

    Shutdown in the rain

    I know that i will have to do some digging on my own, I'm wondering where folks would start looking. Wife and I took a ride around Nova Scotia this summer for a week, which of course meant some rain. The machines were a late '80 and an early '81, so identical specs. Both ran great in dry...

    XS650 stainless steel engine hardware

    My go-to for odd metric hardware is www.belmetric.com. They carry more JIS fasteners than the industrial supply houses.

    Hi Evan, The JIS stands for Japan Industrial Standard. The P40 describes the size. I don't remember the specific material of these but it was brake fluid rated. I'll drop it in tomorrows mail. Gary

    First Bike Ever, New to this Community

    It's an 81 to 83 vintage Virago. I can't tell from those pictures if it is a 750 or 920. They look almost identical and are intechangeable in the frame. It is not the Euro style Xv920 which had an enclosed chain drive rather than a shaft.

    Vacuum Barbs

    Try searching for Motion Pro carb adapters. I think the BS38s use 6mm adapters but confirm before ordering. Just pull the bolt where you will install the adapter and see if it is 5mm or 6mm. They can usually be found in 5mm or 6mm sizing.

    Rear Brake not bleeding/Pressurizing

    My method is: Half unbolt the MC and tilt it so the line and slope of the piston is uphill. Unbolt the caliper and hang it so the brake line flows uphill to the bleed screw. Have a couple of cold ones and get a good night's sleep. Bleed the next day. If that doesn't get it, compress the piston...
