Here she is.

Awesome thanks for the info! So theres no problem using car battery to jump start it?

Ive got the opportunity to buy an already cafe'd xs850. It doesnt run at the moment and seller states it ran last in March and it only probably needs battery and carb cleaning. I am to inspect the bike on monday, what should i look out for? Are those any harder to work on than the 400s? I...

Ive been watching videos on youtube on how to do it for xs650s. Would you mind writing up a quick instructions on how you did it? I would greatly appreciate it. Leak is driving me crazy.

Was it easy? Do i need any special tools? I bought an oem one from boats.net.

Following. Mines leaking at the same spot.

Okay so little update my carb rebuild kit is on its way on monday but i wanted to try and clean the left carb first to see if it would make a difference. I adjusted the brass carb float on the left to match the right and i also cleaned all the jets with carb cleaner and compressed air...

Thanks kshansen!! I guess illl just buy a carb rebuild kit and change everything.

Hey so I opened up the carbs and everything looks fine. I did change the spark plugs cause the old ones on the left were jet black compared to the right one. It stopped leaking gas for now. But im worried theres something wrong with the left side of engine

Thanks bro! So this is what i need to buy? I plan on opening the carbs later when i get home. https://www.mikesxs.net/yamaha-xs650-float-valve-push-in-type-with-o-ring-oem-3l1-14190-20-25g-14107-20.html This part?
