xs650

HHB PMA on my '78 xs650. The flywheel was slightly touching the stator wires that I thought were tucked away from danger and caused a wire to get exposed. This caused my battery to not get full voltage making the bike very poorly. I pulled the flywheel and noticed some wear on the inside in a...
