Haven't done anything to them yet. On the other side cover, the C is missing. I plan on eventually changing the side covers so I will leave them on. Tonight we are hopefully taking the bike to get the seat on. After that's on there I am going to use some cardboard and try to design a side...

Question. How do you remove the side badge emblems? honestly don't know what to call them. I was about to try hitting the pens with a hammer but thought it might be better to ask first. also, I don't really care about saving the badge.

Well, I have good news and bad news. The bad is the trip to the shop has been rescheduled for Thursday. On the other hand, I spent the time getting my gas tank complete. Also got to take my dad's rmz 450 ( motocross dirt bike) out and that inspired me to work on the project so I would have...

The heat is defentailly a pain. I just try to keep hydrated and take breaks to chill in the ac. The even bigger problem wearing a full-face helmet and a leather jacket on hot days. The ride makes up for it though ;)

I almost forgot. This weekend my seat should finally be mounted. This is my first time having access to a welder so am really looking forward to it. I don't want to do anything too crazy but I was reading a thread about skid plate and someone made one out of a grain shovel. I feel like that...

Things are going decent. I order another batch of parts that should get the bike road-worthy. I went to pick up the title last weekend and he hadn't yet look for it witch was kinda sad. My neighbors brought me a four-wheeler that needs a bit of TLC that I have been occupied by mostly. Sorry for...

I haven't messed with the latch yet. It didn't look rusty but I still decided to soak it in PB blaster for the night. I checked the eBay listing and didn't see any years/models listed. Just want to confirm will it work for a 72 XS2?

I'll have him take a look at it. I really do not want to damage my gas tank since getting a new one is gonna cost me. Does anyone have pictures of a working one? just so can understand it better.

Do you remember if they came with the latch? Might email them just to be sure.

Update I am 80% sure that I figured out the not running on one cylinder problem. The new air filters I got are pretty cheap and some of the glue they made them out of seems to have clogged the carbs. I scrapped off all the glue and used some new glue and now the exhaust blows hot. I have never...

I didn't replace them. When I first got the bike I noticed they were loose. I cut about an inch off each end and then retwisted the spark plug and coil connection back. I did notice that the points moved a lot when setting them but I think I got them about right. Also, I tried swapping the...

Sorry it was a typo meant to say muffler or exhuast

I am stumped. I just adjusted the valves, points gap, and static ignition timing. My left side carb is still shooting out cold air. the muffler is slightly warm but not burning me like it should. I know this wasn't an issue before because I rechecked a video of me running it and I could see the...

Update Issued fixed it was a loose wire connection under my gas tank. I can't believe it took me a hour to figure that out. Now on to adjusting the valves hopefully that goes smoother

Wow, that first one was what I was using as a guide haha. I'm rewatching it now to see if I missed anything

I pulled my plugs out after following a guide on how to do it. My right side plug looked like it had some carbon build-up, my left side looked like it was barely used. I also noticed that my exhaust coming from the left side was cold or at least colder than the right side. I managed to get...

Quick question How long should I run the bike with the new plugs to get a good reading? I picked up the plugs last night the store didn't have ngk so I got auto light 63's there computer said it was a match. I ran the bike for just under 5 minutes and when I took the plugs out they almost look new.

Funny story to get the bike to start I ended up putting the mufflers back on. it was still bogging a couple of minutes into the ride my left side muffler came since I just slide it on with my hands. Holy moly It was loud. My dad said it made the garage shake and I was 20 feet away ;). I...

If you haven't seen here is the bike the seat would be going on

Sorry again for the late reply I haven't been able to work on the bike for reasons. But I think I am good now. I managed to get a quick test ride with my external gas tank. I am waiting for petcock rebuild kits for my other. The bike felt super sluggish It didn't bog but I had it full throttle...
