Hi All,
I have an XS2 which is by and large, a very original bike. It needs new tyres and I was wondering, in terms of resale value, does it matter to a potential buyers if the tyres are period correct or not?
I was thinking about the Bridgestone BT45 or the conti classic attacks but wasn't...
Hi All,
I'm new here and have just bought myself an XS2 US import which looks to be a real survivor. The clocks say 11k miles and I can believe it. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the tyres were original. It even has the full tool kit under the seat... obviously the seat isn't original which...
So I bought an xs2 that me and a friend are building into something new, no previous xs2 experience, just learning as i go. The bike was in pieces when i bought it and I am now wondering, as the bike has a starter motor, should there be a start button, or was it all part of the decompression...

I have an XS2 that I'm having a new frame made for. Ive been told to get a taper roller bearing steering head conversion kit, anyone know where I can pick one of these up?
hey guys I've posted on here before about an XS2 that a buddy had. well, now it's mine and it's time to start in earnest.
I ordered the top tree nut off ebay the other day and that should finish off the frontend issues.
The bike was hardtailed by the previous owner and I wanna run a disc rear...
So I bough a beat up old XS2. I've replaced the condenser, spark plugs, point and the carbs are off getting bits done. Before the carbs went off to get cleaned up I couldn't get it started. I'm guessing it may be the timing. Anyone got any suggestions of anything else it may be and or can let me...
Hi guys,
I've just bought an xs2 as a project and I didn't get an ignition key with it. Does it need a key or will this bike never have had a key?
Can someone give me advice on how to start it without a key pleaseeeee
Thanks!
Hiya,
I've recently bought as XS2 and am looking to get some new tyres/rims.
At the moment they're standard at 18" x 4.00 rear and 19" x 3.50 front.
I'm using this bike as a donor so i can turn it into a bobber. Can anyone give me some advice on what size to go for.
I've been told 16" rear 19"...
HI all,
Bought 1st xs650 trying to get it road ready. It start easily cold (no choke) and idles well 1100 rpms, until warm and then shuts off. When I continue to kick it, it back fires out the left carb and pops the carb out of the boot. This has now happened twice in a row.
Since I got it...
Hi everyone. *Short time lurker, first time poster.
As well as replacing the diaphragms, I'm trying to figure out why the left are right carb aren't identical when I open up the float bowl. It's a '72, xs2, bs38 CV carbs,
(image attached?)
One has a main nozzle, the other has no main...
Love to hear some feedback on what I'm doing.
Its hard not to lose perspective on a build when you've been staring at it for 8 months.
Love some feedback from you guys on what you think of the new pipe, and the whole build so far.
Critics too, always good to see through others eyes...
