Thats almost the same book I have. Mine has a Yellow cover and is bound with a removable steel binder. Really good pics of the carbs and how the fuel and air flow.
It has the tech bulletins that explain changes and when they did them. Very interesting info that the other books don't have.
I just got the one that covers the 70-74 models a week ago. It even tells how to rebuild a crank. Tells how to make the tools you need and a diagram to build an engine stand.
I think you will really like that book.
Help !!! 79 xs650 will not disengage, I have replaced worm gear , clutch cable,
long pushrod, friction plates, oil seals, shift shaft. Im using Valvoline 20/50 mc oil
clutch properly installed!!. I think my shift shaft gear changer from mikes xs
may be the culprit. please help thanks
Your shift shaft has nothing to do with the clutch. The shift shaft links your shift pedal to the shift drum.
The clutch just opens and closes to make stopping and shifting easier.
Generally proper adjustment, well lubed cable and worm fixes most clutch issues. The adsjustment procedure in your repair manual works very well.
