A few years back I bought an '82 Heritage that had been sitting in a backyard for a while, got it cleaned up and running, modified it with wheels from an XJ550 Maxim. Ran it for the summer without many issues and then traded it in the fall for a project GS1100. The fellow I traded with, a person from work, used it the following summer without any problems. Last year though,the bike developed a high idle,symptoms of an air leak of some type? Anyway, he didn't solve the problem and hadn't ridden the bike for the past two seasons. Last month I asked him if he wanted to trade for the GR650 I've been riding. He agreed and dropped the XS off at my house yesterday. I was looking it over and noticed a bulge in the left downtube, just below the front engine mount. I'm assuming it is some type of rust. Has anybody else experienced something like this?
