Hello again, Ive changed my light controlls on the handlebar with a new one, but I didn't notice it didn't have a headlight on/off switch. Which I need. So i thought I could use the one on the headlight, which have been disconnected before I got the bike. But Im having trouble figuring out...

Hi, Anyone had any problems fitting new 3th party lens? I just bought one from Yambits and it doesn't fit. Its too wide by a few millimeters and the hight is too short. So it didnt fit the original mount.

First post, I apologize in advance. Just begun working on a 1972 XS2 I picked up, the front suspension was totally whacked. Very squirrley steering, wants to topple over in the corners and was generally unrideable. Something was wrong with the forks (I just assumed just leaky), so I peeled...

Can anyone help me figure out what size carbs I need for my 1972 xs2? I’ve been looking around and I want to go with a pair of Mikuni slide carbs. I’ve noticed there are a few different sizes, 32mm and 34mm being the ones I see the most and both say they would fit my engine. Thanks for any...

I’m posting this in hopes to get some guidance on the matter at hand. I’ve disassembled the whole top end and am slowly getting to everything (boring and installing oversize pistons, checking head and valves for spec/lapping, new cam chain etc etc). The whole shebang. Anyways, while I have it...

Hi all I’ve been a member here for some years but this may be the first thread I’ve started. The XS2 motor I’m working on has the original 6 clutch friction plates and they all measure the full thickness of new plates so I don’t see a need to replace them or update the clutch pack to a newer...
