http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/mcd/2960486684.html So this is definitely a project but its about $1000 or a little less. Needs electrical, rear wheel/brake hooked up, front caliper, needs registration in california, tank mounted, seat, rear fender, and a few other things. It has a single...

I already did the shaft seals, and the idle started getting worse after i did it. probably coincidence. The idle still gets stuck at 3k after it warms up. its fine when i first start it but then it stays and comes down on its own. i sprayed carb cleaner and it changed the idle and brought it...

Maybe they did before but I don't think so. I emailed them about it a month or so ago but no response. It'll be easier for me to make small orders now though. Priority is WAY faster and its like 1/2 the price. Thanks mikesXS!

So ive been messing with carbs and jetting for a month or so now and i still cant figure it out. i have good compression but its still acting weird. after it warms up (Sometimes) the rpms will hang and stay at 3k then come back down on their own after like 15 to 20 seconds. i cant reproduce it...

Im running a 142.5 main and my plugs are still white. how long does it take to get color if they are going to? They're new plugs but they are white at the end and then black/brown down low...

Ok, so im going to try fixing my jetting. After a few months of 30mpg i think its time. Heres what i got, 83 Sk Bs34s 142.5 main 127.5 air Wheres the pilot jet? Under that rubber plug? I had the carbs completely apart today and didnt bother looking in there... 3 turns out on air mix screws...

Is this guy serious? http://www.ebay.com/itm/1976-Yamaha-XS650-XS-650-Standard-Y182-pod-filters-/290613862806?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item43a9efa196#ht_1482wt_1163 not sure where i should have put this. was going to put it in the lounge but it DOES have something to...

Ok so im giving you guys very little to work with but i should be able to do more later in the week. I haven't done a compression test or anything but i will when i get the tool. When im slowing down (downshifting and engine braking) it almost wants to die. It seems when it is just above...

What did this guy do? Can I fix this? The hose is kinking on the top of the carb cause the petcock angles down instead of out. I already have something making space for it. But it's still pushing the carb down. I thought about cutting the rear mount but a petcock is cheaper. Is that jb weld? How...

I bought a standard tank from mikes cause it didn't have spaces for emblems and it was new. So I get the right side petcock welded up and put it on. The thing is that the petcock is hitting the top of my carb on the left side. The standard tanks have a bump where the petcock goes. The special...

So I bought a new front brake, brake light pressure switch from mikes and it's been on the bike for about 3 days and maybe 25 miles and it's already leaking brake fluid from where the Wires come out of the end of the threaded part. It forms a drop really fast when I squeeze the brake lever. Has...

Spectrowireandcable.com Im not sure if theres any better places to buy wire but i bought a ton of stuff, wire 10 different colors, some tools, connectors, light bulbs and other stuff for like $100. They're in Oklahoma and ship pretty fast. The shopping cart kinda sucks though. it doesn't save...

So i found out what it was in the manual but i cant tell what its for, or what im supposed to do with it. and it looks like something is supposed to connect to it. theres nothing attached to mine...

So I dont have a rear brake switch and it was working fine 2 days ago. The tail light comes on but nothing happens when I pull the brake lever. Not the bulb. What else could it be? Posted via Mobile

So I've read and looked for this answer but I can't figure it out. I have the 24-2060 Bar switch from mikes. Has a blue/white, red, brown and a black wire. The only thing that doesn't work is the electric start. The black wire isn't attached to anything right now. But it should be grounded...

Ok, so i finally got it running good. and now i got another dumb problem. im still rechecking everything right now but i just wanted to see if anyone has had this problem before. I had the same problem with my clutch cable but what stopped that, isnt stopping the throttle cable from melting. I...

So i was riding home one day over a month ago and it just died. i found that my pamco was burned up. I think it was my regulator/rectifier. so i had Pamcopete send me a replacement board. I ordered a new coil, reg/rec, and wires from mikes. i wired everything back how i found it when it stopped...

Ok. im putting in a new reg/rectifier and im just wiring it how im taking it apart. i was untaping everything and i noticed that only 1 wire isnt connected to anything. my brown wire. Is it just not used or did it come off/out of somewhere else? what does the brown wire do? I have looked at...
