One of the metal shims is what is gauging the top of my rotor. Do you only run the shim on one side, I'm thinking that this is my problem

I didn't run it because some thing looks like it may have been gauging into the top of my rotor. I think it maybe a fitting issue or in doing some thing wrong. I have had to put the pads in by taking the caliper apart and putting the pads in and re assembling. But I look it up and it said that...

I rebuilt the master cyclinder about a year ago and cleaned it all out. The rubbing just makes a noise when I sit on the bike and roll it. I haven't tried riding it yet because I didn't think it should be rubbing. Should I ride it down the street and see if it's an issue. I didn't have this...

My caliper is a new reproduction from mikes I got about a year ago. Is it possible it got dirty that quick and needs a cleaning. Or is it also possible old gunk from the brake lines maybe dirtied it up? Before putting the new pads in I compressed the piston and took some fluid out of the master...

Installed some new brake pads from mikes. However after I installed the new pads I noticed the new pads rubbing against the rotor. Also I noticed on the old pads one of the pads was more worn out than the other. I was just wondering if anyone had some knowledge on what maybe causing this issue...

Ya about to re-solder all the wires and it looks really simple inside.

Has to be the turn signal switch a bunch of wires came un soldered inside the switch. Anyone got a picture of where to re solder the wires? If not what is a good replacement for the turnsignal switch assemble?

Anyway to fixing it or should I just buy a new one? The horn part works if that means anything.

Any recommendations on electronic flashers I can get at autozone?

Ok did the test, just to make sure I did it right this is how I did it. Would plug in the positive part of my multi meter into the power wire on the turn signal. Then would ground the other wire of my multi meter to the ground wire. Then with the bike on I would hit the switch. The Flasher would...

Just saw your post and I'm about to try it thanks.

So I tested the original turn signals with the original flasher and when I hit the turn signal switch it does tick, but signals don't light up. When I hold it to one side it just keeps ticking non stop and no flash. Tried it with the bike running same issue, switch maybe broken?

Put in the old bulbs and flasher and nothing happened. Thinking the switch maybe the issue as it is the last thing to test. Are there any test I can run on it with my multi meter?

I did the ohms test and every where I tested I'm getting about 1.5 ohms on my meter. No where that I tested did I get 0, does this mean anything. Also I tested the socket on the turn signal indicator and got resistance there as well. Tested were the flasher relay goes and got 0 ohms, but I think...

It's a signal element bulb. Also why I had the bulb off it says 12v 10w E8 on the bulb. So I'm thinking this may mean I need a different flasher relay for the lower watts. I'm running a 552 right now. Also charging battery tonight and will run a continuity test tomorrow, thanks for all the help...

Must have miss spoke I have a 552 flasher in I got from autozone. My turnsignals have worked before with the 552 flasher, they aren't led or anything like that. Could the starter button assembly possible be grounding out to the front brake master cyclinder and not the bars could that cause an...

I'm running a 552 flasher relay for just some after market turnsignals. I read online that other people have used these turn signals with the 552 flasher relay and had success on the xs650. I'm going to check more of the electricals later to see what is up and also make sure my battery is all...

Thanks, I'm thinking this maybe the issue. Because the turn signals worked before I stripped the bike and wired everything wrong, so I'm assuming this will be something to do with the battery. My only question though is that my electric starter is still working fine on my painted bars, so I'm...

I was looking through the manual and found some stuff on acid levels in my battery. My levels look to be low but I'm not sure, should I add distilled water?

I plugged up a car battery to my bike not running and it did nothing. Should I test it again with the bike running?
