Hello, while I’m new to posting I am a veteran lurker.
I have previously owned a 79 but unfortunately had to sell. I now own a rather troublesome 81.
When I first bought the bike it was completely stock apart from the missing battery box.
The original ignition black box was shot so I fiddled...
Hiya!
I'm looking for a pick up coil for my 83 heritage special (part: 4M4-81670-10-00). Alternatively, if you have a compatible stator with the coil still attached, I'm up for that too! I'm located in Los Angeles.
Thanks!

Hello, I recently aquired a 1979 XS650 SF with a points ignition system. The bike has no spark and while trying to diagnose it I decided to set the points. I watched a video on youtube () that shows how to set the points. Included in that link is a timestamp to where he uses a 12v test light to...
So I'm working on my buddies '75 xs650.
He has no spark, yep I know another one.
So I sanded the points clean with 1200 grit. Pulled the plugs and no spark. Removed the plugs from the boot and put in a screwdriver, no arc to jugs.
Voltage on battery with charger is 12.5. tested kill switch it...
I have a few other threads, but. I’m having an issue running: intermittent cylinder dying, switches sides, fresh battery. Has Pamco, single coil (Honda), have used diff coils to rule out.
It was suggested to wire battery directly to coil to see if that works, which would indicate issue in...
Hello all,
I've sketched up a wiring diagram for my 1975 XS650B, which is a hardtail chopper project.
it has the stock alternator, as well as:

I got a coil mounting bracket from Mike's.
to mount a coil like this
The coil mounting arms fit the coil perfectly. I thought the other side of the bracket would fit in the original coil mounting holes but they are not far enough apart. There is no note on Mike's product page about where...
ok the charging system was up graded to the banchee and the owner said it was riding fine fo a cupple of weeks after started one kick every time then one day it just cut out and lost all power. now today key on i have 13-14v at the brown wire going to the coil now here is where it gets wired...
So I'm at the point of tuning my '71 XB1. I was getting a popping exhaust on the left (sooty, dry). I fiddled with the ignition (Pamco) and got a pretty decent idle. However it would eventually slop out and die. I checked my coil, my plug leads, my plugs. All good connections. Plugs are...
1978 xs650se. Her names Rose.

New dyno dual tower ignition coil. With new plugs and wires.

I don’t get it man. Could it be the Pamco/...
Hey guy,
I was hoping one of you could help me out with a question.
I'm wiring a new dual output coil and the "red/white" wire is in a harness with a "brown" wire.
They obviously share a current. The "brown" wire appears to go towards the rear of the bike.
Is it safe to say this is not a "hot"...
chasing problems with bike running I believe may be battery. Runs for a few moments cold then dies, won't restart till sitting. Took me a bit to realize the battery was weak (kick only)
Kick only '74, pamco ignition, updated coils from mikes (the dual output black one). Original charging...

I'm about to start wiring a newly built 750 big bore engine and I'm looking for suggestions on which ignition to run. The stator is factory so it will probably need to be upgraded also. Since this is a frame-up build, I am starting fresh. So... what ignition unit should I put in this thing?
hey I'm switching from a morris magneto to a boyer bransden kit, kit comes with everything.
now my bike has a key but only for the lights on the back of the key it has 3 terminals one has constant power other is first click which powers all the lights besides headlight 2 click is headlight...
i have a 81 xs650s which has a dead left hand coil, trying to replace it but cannot find a 81 model coil but have found a few 80s model close by me, just wondering if im up to run a 80s model coil along side the 81 model without any problem. the difference between to two being the 80s model is 4...
Recently my bike began to misfire. After discovering that it was an electrical problem (no spark), I eventually went through all the basic wiring checks on the bike and ended up finding that either the coil or the Pamco were the culprit. After diagnosing the coil as per Pamco Pete's "Testing the...
i initially thought it was something to do with carbs... So had a thorough clean, changed gaskets, checked the main jet size (140... I use pods and short megaton exhausts and the bike used to run well with this jet before)... Noticed the diaphragms were old and had small holes so ordered a brand...
