I can, the question is do I think its worth it for what I'm building and quite frankly my build doesn't deserve a wheel that nice. That wheel deserves to be owned by someone who gives a damn about thier XS and washes it once in awhile.
We'll find out...
What's the most that could happen? Ruin a $500 dollar motor...?
I'll just scrap it like I did the last one, then buy another motor.
It's all just for fun. I have a regular daily rider.
How bad is whatever wheel you may be speaking about?
Brake lining is important, bearing race area is important. I could live with some rust as long as it's not pitted to death. I'd like it to be runnable. Preferably somewhat safe...
Looking for XS650 18" rear wheel. Reasonable usable condition.
Also have tradeable chopper parts and complete 81 xs650 minus the motor. Will part out for whatever you need besides the frame and already removed motor.
Thank you.
Uh yeah..... it's all very confusing to me. This would be a lot easier for me if it was just something mechanical. I gotta get this figured out because I love this lil bike. I ride it all the time and this is really making me upset. It's been so reliable up until now it's driving me crazy. What...
Well the cap was pretty warm when I had the issue. Thing is I keep the cap and the reg/rec in a small oxygen bottle that I cut the top off. Not the best idea I guess but this bike has been flawless since my first run out with it but the headlight is the last thing I changed and being a mechanic...

It was definitely hotter than not today. It's not by any means in an airstream. Hasn't been since I built this pile. Neither is my reg/rec. I realize that's not good. But I'm stubborn and my electrical box (a small oxygen bottle with the top cut off and tabs added to hold it together) looks...
Nope. Everything looks good. Funny thing is it will start off the cap after I use the battery. I'm seriously stumped.
I installed the switch in my bucket today thinking I had it made. No so much.
I just a battery to it after checking the resistance on the coil. Started right up. I'm gonna have to do some research on caps or at this point install a battery.
I'm no electricity guy by any means. Are you saying my cap is overheating while I'm in motion? The way I see it it has to be the cap, my switch, or my coils because it starts if I eliminate the cap and use a battery.
