FYI, I have an extra one of these from Two Hands Motorcycles (Germany), i ordered it but at my rebuild, realized PO had already done it. Let me know if anyone needs it, I can sell. Send an offer.

Thanks BBS, Mikesxs confirmed.

Anyone know if this works the same with a 1977 XS360?

Hey Ted, have you checked your timing? I had similar, but not exact, symptoms with mine. After riding it for a little bit, when i'd pull to red light and pull the clutch in it would die. After gapping/adusting my timing, it went away.

I have an HID H4 Projector Lens Headlight with a bucket set-up from DCC. The HID is from ebay/china one of the many listed there. It works, took a bit of work to get it all together (definitely would have been easier if i had some patience). Hardest part was removing the glass lens from the...

i was always under the assumption our bikes didn't charge until about 2k rpm.

So i took my petcock apart. i guess the PO used a normal steel washer instead of the OEM washer plate that you suggested. I'm not sure how it wasn't leaking until just now, but i'll assume it was just a miracle. i put the washer plate on before the steel washer from the PO and it sealed it...

valve cover? do you mean the cylinder head cover? I've never done that to my bike. I normally just take the 4 valve caps off and do it that way. Someone else may need to answer that one, but i don't see why not.

Ogami, i have a 1977 xs360, kick-start only. LED tail light HID projector headlight Dime City Cycle tach/speedo (with led lights inside it) no horn and this battery works perfect for me...

Hey Oli, what i normally do to find TDC is: -Pull both spark plugs out -Take off your covers -Use your 17mm socket wrench (or normal wrench) to turn the motor (counterclockwise) -At the same time have your finger covering the spark plug hole (first the left side, since you adjust your left...

Hey xschris, i saw that one while researching. but how do you know it fits my petcock specifically? maybe i just don't understand the parts of a petcock yet since i haven't had to rebuild on before. seems like most of the rebuild parts are pretty standardized i guess? i bought the washers...

I see. i'm not sure exactly where its coming from, but its ends up at the bolt heads at the bottom of that bottom plate where the fuel line connects. I'll look for those washers, but how do people buy rebuild kits for these things? i couldn't find a part # or anything on this petcock.

I'm trying to get a rebuild kit for my petcock. Theres been droplets of gas forming around the bolts. problem is, the PO replaced the original petcock so i don't know what kind of petcock i have. i'm assuming all rebuild kits aren't applicable. can anyone identify my petcock? or tell how i...

thank you guys!

an apology is in order. xschris you were close. all of what you said probably still needs to be done soon, but i believe my main mistake was that in the diaphragm i put the needle slide plate before the need slide itself. i saw the blow-out images of the carb on bike bandit that it was that...
