The piston in my 72 XS is not working the notch in the rubber I’m assuming that is the problem. Probably not going to find a replacement.

Which way does the spring go in the master cylinder it popped out before I saw it. Little or big end towards the banjo bolt.

Does the banjo bolt have only one crush washer that is put on the bolt on the shoulder next to the bolt head

I was thinking Greece to make them slide easier. Does brake fluid get around the outside of the piston.

I got my caliper apart now the pucks are stuck I’ve sprayed on blaster letting them soak. I’ll assume there not going to fall out so you guys who done this I appreciate your thoughts. Hopefully with success do I put some grease around the outside of the puck for ease of sliding when I put them...

Very impressive

Any supplier you know of on the Internet. I know I need a hose I need one banjo bolt and then I need like a fitting that goes into the caliper. I guess you would call it a double male fitting. One definitive caliper and the other one to take the other into the hose.

Jim you’ll have to excuse me I’m old and forgetful. An example is I wrote a request for handlebars on a Facebook XS page Forgot all about it and order some from Mike’s now a guy respond it said he has an original pair with decent chrome is what I’d really like to have. So Jim I don’t even know...

Has any on run a single brake hose on a 72. Also what size screws for the tank emblems screws.

Starting to clean up still a lot to do. Ordered up some parts so waiting on that. Anyone know the size of the tank emblems screws.

Would like to know what my headlight is off of I’ll take some close ups of it, perhaps a later CSX it has a strange tall rectangular knob on top with three lights facing the rider b

Your is very clean. Sharp bike. Are those the bars at Mike’s XS that are like $45.00. If not where did you get yours. They remind me of my first 72 I had. Nice job how many miles on her.

I’ve been cleaning up the rust and my new $100 seat showed up today. Advice on best way to clean up the motor. I’ll be replacing all the cables. Plug wires are junk. Took off the brake caliper and all the bolts are frozen soaking with PB Blaster. I will need a one piece hose for the brake. I was...

Well I’m seventy so I won’t have to long to server. I believe a cop won’t know the difference between a SR500 and acXS650.

I have been PB blasting all the bolts for about three days now and a lot of them are coming loose. I ordered a new seat. It has the original foam filters and are like new. I will probably need new hoses for the front brake. The one going into the caliper is pretty rusty. Especially the hard line.

After I wrote that I started removing the rust most is surface rust. It starting to come out better than I thought. I hate motors painted black. I wouldn’t paint the headers or mufflers. I was talking about the fenders and wheels. I am now going to leave it alone. The tank is shiny inside. It...

I bought this 1972 XS 650 it’s been sitting for 33 years. It’s all there except the tank badges and original handlebar. since it’s a little rusty I thought about blacking out the chrome. And painting the wheels black also. Has any one seen an early XS blacked out. I do not have a title. I...
