    XS1 lower fork tube bushing availability?

    Is there any source for replacement XS-1 lower fork tube bushes and the metal 'snap ring' that goes just above it? I got a set of replacement tubes from Forks by Frank and the instructions say to remove the lower bushings from the old tubes and install them on the new tubes. I don't have the...

    Carb guide jetting specs chart for 70-73?

    Confirmed they are marked with the E3 stampings last night. I'll run the 42.5's as a start and when my 5.5mm fuel line arrives today I should have it back together. The 1/4" fuel line worked, but came off the fittings with the oem clamps a bit too easily. I'm hoping the 5.5mm line will snug...

    Carb guide jetting specs chart for 70-73?

    I'm reasonably confident it's an E3 based on the serial number of the bike, but will definitely double check. That chart jives with the 42.5 pilot I feel is likely OEM in the carbs. Very interesting, thanks for that info!

    Carb guide jetting specs chart for 70-73?

    Yes, they are 1970 OEM carbs on this bike. The jetting appears to be stock, but with a 42.5 pilot, which may or may not have been OEM. Nothing inside of them made me think they had ever been touched...or ever cleaned for that matter.

    Carb guide jetting specs chart for 70-73?

    Thanks for the reply 5twins. I know the outsides of the XS2 carbs are different, wasn't sure if the internals changed. Likely they did, hence the jetting change. I've seen the float spec as 24mm for the early XS1 carbs (which is what I'm currently dialing in), but the chart mentions 25mm...

    Carb guide jetting specs chart for 70-73?

    I have a question about the jetting chart in the carb guide. The section for '70-73 shows two different pilot and mix settings. Am I reading this correctly that there were the settings specific for 70/71 (45P and 1 mix) and then 72/73 (42.5P and 3/4 mix)? Why the difference if so? Attached is...

    Muffler collar nut nuts joint Early Late, stuck Dang it!

    Old thread, but I'm facing the same issue of removing the muffler collar nuts on some old pipes. I ran across a special socket that is used for the "spider nut" on RZR 1000 UTV's am curious how close it would be size wise to interface with these collars and be able to impact them off. If...

    XS-1 fork cap bolt, whaaaa?

    What is the purpose of the fork cap bolt on the XS-1? It doesn't preload a nonexistent internal spring. Block off for accessory/aftermarket air valve? Thanks folks!

    Feedback for gggGary

    Got a speedo (used, but clean :laugh2: ) from Gary and a tach for a very fair price. Amazingly well packed...you'd really not believe both would fit into a flat rate envelope AND survive the shipping, but they did. Shipped fast, though the knuckle draggers at USPS sent the package on a tour...

    Sold / Found / Inactive - I want your speedo...and tach 82/83

    The prior-abusor of my '82 XS tried to cut the faces off my speedo and tach...and I'm tired of having to re-electrical tape them each season. Got a speedo and tach pair in your parts bin of your 82/83 chopper build that are in good shape? I'd love to return them to service on my cafe-ish. Got...

    Steering head or fork lock - 73 TX

    I just went through this on my XS-1, here are some photos that will make some sense of the thread before here. I had a locksmith cut a new key, then turn to ten o-clock and the whole assembly comes out of the neck. Also, don't do what I did and use a lot of force on the rivet, it will try to...

    XS1 Headlight Adjuster

    Thank you gents, that clears up what needs to be done. This also explains why there was a hobbled mess of electrical tape and *shiver* baling twine inside the housing...the P.O. must have been trying to rig up the automotive type headlight and couldn't quite figure out how to secure it. Thanks...
