    Sold / Found / Inactive - XS Performance exhaust port optimizers

    Found a set of XS Performance exhaust port optimizers (from 650Central) in my stash, no longer have the 650 so these can go! Had bought them to go with Omar's Mile exhaust on my scrambler, but never ended up using them. A little dirty from test fitting, but they'll be covered in soot soon...

    For Sale - 1980 XS650 Project

    SOLD, thanks! 1980 XS650 Special II Winter is coming, this could be the perfect project! All I have done is get it running and swap on a set of lower Euro bars (not pictured). Went through the carburetor and found that it had a torn diaphragm. Replaced both with brand new JBM Industries...

    New to me XS750...need some ideas

    Recently picked up a '78 XS750E project and have been slowly plugging away at it. Decided to tackle the carbs last weekend and encountered a serious problem when dismantling. Someone managed to twist off all three idle mixture screw tips :wtf:. So I need some ideas as to how I can tackle this...

    Magnetic filings on oil filter

    I did my spring oil change this morning and found this stuff on my filter: The shiny bits are magnetic...but I didn't notice any on my drain plugs. There was a bit more on it than the photo shows, didn't think to take a pic until after I grabbed a magnet. No big chunks, just that fine...

    For Sale - Slotted Rotors (Left & Right) & Left Caliper

    Got it in my head to do a dual disc conversion but after sitting on these parts for a bit, I changed my mind. I have a set of slotted rotors off of a 1980 XS1100: Rotors are clearly marked R & L. Appear evenly worn and in good order. Measure the same (11 3/4 inches) as the rotor on my XS650...

    Disc Brake Shims

    My bike has come down with a bad case of brake squeal which I am trying to eliminate. I tried that red spray on Disc Brake Quiet stuff, which worked for about two days. Now the squeal is back worse than ever. I do know that I am running without the shims that I hear mention of every once in a...

    Neutral Detent

    I've finally put my bike all back together and found that I now have a problem with it slipping out of neutral. I expected to see the detent spring pop up with the bolt removed, but no dice. Am I correct in assuming that it should have done so (i.e. the bolt puts pressure on the spring)? Or...

    Reassembled motor...what is that noise? (With Video)

    I've buttoned my motor back up but there is an odd noise when it is turned over. Every time it passes the TDC mark it makes a metallic "ping" clearly audible in the video. I had the motor apart to replace a leaking head gasket, and also replaced the cam chain and rear tensioner. I did no...

    Questionable bolt during head torque

    Hi Guys, I'm buttoning up my motor after replacing the gaskets, tensioners, and cam chain. I'm at the torque stage and all the bolts have come up fine except #13 in 5twins image: I brought it up in stages with the rest but it refuses to tighten the last bit. My wrench will click when...

    For Sale - Complete XS650 rearset kit

    I've decided that I don't want to build a cafe bike anymore, rather, a scrambler instead. So I won't be needing these rearsets. They were made by Durgam_K, a member here, and seem to be of very high quality. These are his "mild" version, which puts the peg between the two mounting points...

    Can anyone identify this noise? Its driving me crazy.

    There is a loud whistling/chirping noise coming from the right side of the motor. I've checked the choke plate screws, which were loose, but tightening them did not stop the noise.

    Please help diagnose a fueling issue

    Hi Guys, For the past couple days my bike ('79 Special) had been slightly hesitating off idle through about 1/8 turn. :shrug: Today, the bike was totally off. It would start and ride ok, then repeatedly try to cut out when cruising along. This could be countered by twisting the throttle to...

    For Sale - Stock Charging System ('79 Special)

    Hi guys, I've just had the bike converted to a PMA setup and have my stock parts up for grabs. The bike ran and drove great before the parts were swapped. Measured at the battery I had a bit over ~12v at idle and a bit over ~14v when revved. I'm not sure how to test the parts otherwise, but...

    I have some parts lying about that I'd like to sell: XS1 Style headers (1 pair): $100 Removed from my 1979 Special, I believe they are XS1 style as they hugged the frame just as close as my Mike's Commando kit. Tubes were a little bit shorter than the mikes headers, not sure if they were cut...
