It was my first bike and has sat covered I'm my mom's garage for the last 20 years. Now it's in my garage and I want to make it my first project bike. A new battery turns the motor, but 20 year old gas in the tank won't fire. I found xs650.com trying to research the petcocks to figure out what position was 'off'. Got that figured out (no off, vacuum) so drained the tank and removed the tank to get a better look at the everything else.
So I can't remember what year this bike is. I've always referred to it as a 79, but I think it might be an 81. I have so much to learn and not sure where to start. I'll be around this site a lot trying to figure things out. If anyone has a suggestion or tips on how to get started in a bike build project for a first timer, I'm all ears!
