    Re-Bush for BS34?

    I have searched and searched. Can't find any thing. Does anybody know of a shop or somebody that installs new bushings in BS34 carbs? The carb body is worn and new seals aren't fixing the air leak on the butterfly valve shaft. Seems like the carb body could be saved if some bronze bushings were...

    RMATVMC

    Has anyone ordered parts from Rocky Mountain ATV & MC? They show a lot of OEM xs650 parts as available. Some have a long lead time. 7-10 days. I'm wondering if they (the long lead time parts) are really OEM. They have other xs650 OEM parts in stock that ship right away. I've had good service...

    Low Idle Speed After High Speed Ride

    Just cleaned and rebuilt carbs on 1980 xs650sg. All standard size jets. Man this thing runs so much better! I synced and adjusted pilots. They ended up about 1 turn out for best idle. About 1200-1300rpm ish. Took it out for a ride. Perfect around town. Got out on the freeway for a few miles at...

    Shaft Seal Part Numbers

    I'm replacing the butterfly shaft seals on a pair of BS34's. I've received the McMaster Carr seals 6540K121. They seem to rotate in the bore of the carb. I've also got the Yamaha seals 256-14997-00-00 on order. I found the Suzuki part numbers here 13651-51010. When I looked for them online I...

    Exhaust System Compatibility

    I have a 1980 XS650SG. It has the original stock pipes, that are beginning to corrode from the inside out. The bike came with a complete stock exhaust system from a 1981 (that's what is marked on them). They are in pretty good shape. The actual exhaust outlet on the '81 pipes is in the center of...

    Grab Bar Re-finishing?

    Searched, but couldn't find anything. I would like to clean up the grab bar on my 1980 XS650SG. I'm pretty sure I can get it down to bare aluminum with lots of polishing and a big bucket of elbow grease. How do I get it so the black paint is only in the recesses after it's all cleaned up? Thanks!

    For Sale - Bunch of Parts on ebay

    I recently picked up a '80 XS650SG. The guy also had a bunch of XS650 parts, and he gave them to me too. I'm starting to list them on ebay. All the stuff I'm selling is for model years other than 1980, so I can't use 'em. I've listed them at, what I think, are pretty good prices. I don't want to...
