Have a pic of your setup yamaman? I was assuming the rotor would have to standoff the base of the plate for it to fully be enclosed by the stator. If it can be done with a simple plate, without the us ...

Perfect, now all i need is the standoff height and were golden.

Who did the rake job, looks factory. Any closeups? Did you just notch back the back bone, or extend the down tubes?

I blasted my wheels as one peice. Just tape up the spinning bits. Was good for removing all the scale and rust, but in the end if you want a satin/brushed finish you will have to go over by hand with ...

If you can get me the hole locations and standoff height from a banshee plate i can do one up in CAD for you. Get me all your measurements and well get this rolling. I'll make it as efficient possible ...

Its mostly caused by vibration. Playing with the handlebars rubber mounts (tightening or loosening) can usually bring the vibration down to a different frequency that is more acceptable to you. There ...

I don't have any real intentions on getting it lower since i don't want to open up this particular engine. I guess I'll just put it in a not so daily driver, and keep it cool. So i guess the consensus ...

I bought a XS in pieces, it was title a a 73. I figured the engine was probably old a and tired, but to my surprise a compression check revealed 180PSI on both cylinders. I did some looking around and ...

If you re-lace your rear i will buy the old 16" rear rim from you. Or if you want to sell the rear all together.

Just pop on a leak down tester and see where its coming from. Did you check the other side for compression? what was it at? Did you hold open the throttle while checking? Reason i ask is because even ...

Totally normal. These bikes vibe bad since the crank is 360. I find on my old unchoped 650's the vibes aren't so bad since the rubber grommets in the top tree are all a bit loose. Usually i tighten th ...

Heres a good read from the garage, stickied right above your other post lol...

Not sure on the voltages with that flywheel combo, but i think regardless you will need a capacitor inline to run without the battery. IIRC the banshee conversions, setup with caps (no battery with pa ...

I have a million sets of signals if you want a free set, some from an 81' PM me if you want them.

I just finished a build that i was running without a front, plan was for a front but the master i ordered didn't fit. So off i went on a poker run with just the rear drum on the XS. All was well for a ...

Those are indeed ground wires, they are suppose to attach to the headlight mounting bolts inside the bucket. The bolt touches the headlight ears regardless of the rubber grommet.

Does anyone know of any 21" front rims, that use the same axle diameter as an 80G from any other bikes? Anyone else done a 21" front without a front end swap?

Went ahead and tore apart the TCI again, I found a couple of bad diodes inline with the pickup signal wires, I'm hoping this dirty signal is what is causing the weak spark. Hopefully this will fix the ...

No test units around, just ordered the magnet wire to rewind the stator. Looking into my ignition options, probably get the Pamco kit. I contacted MikesXS about installation however their customer sup ...

Yeah i figured on the rotor not charging, however even with a jump from my trucks battery i cant even get it to fire. The PO had a bad battery when i bought it, had weak spark, right cylinder would ba ...

Hello all, well instead of the planned first post of my xs build thread, i'm forced to ask newb questions first. Have an '80 i've been working on for the past month or so, was running great, so i deci ...
