My brother gave me his 1980 XS650 project bike as he has another project bike and he knows I love XS650s. Got it home, did some cleaning, yanked the carbs and soaking in Pinesol (they were relly yukked up). Ordered new bronze bushings for the swing arm, ordered carb rebuild kits, Clymer manual, and misc. stuff. Still getting the 30 years of grunge off of it. It has a dumb looking easy rider seat with a good pan so I need to get that back to normal, would like a flat seat. Decided to change the fluids and had no problem with the brake fluid, rear fluid was orange (rust I guess) but the brakes still work. The oil drain plugs are tighter than heck. Could not loosen them with a 10 inch cresent wrench, so I measered them and it looks like I need to get a 27mm socket. Scares me when an oil plug(s) is that tight.
