    Going through batteries, overcharging?

    Sorry for the long post in advance but want to give as much info as possible. I've gone through 3 brand new sealed AGM batteries now and they don't last more than 40 minutes of riding. Just idling doesn't seem to have any negative impact on the battery though. It's not until I actually take...

    Won't rev over 5000 rpm and how to test solid state reg

    Won't rev over 5000 rpm - Solved I've been trying to figure out why the bike won't rev over 5000 rpm. I can't get onto jetting the carbs properly because of it. Won't rev over that in neutral or on the road, no matter if I pin it or try to feather through it, just won't go. It doesn't bounce...

    wil 650 sight glass and kick seal fit 400?

    Hey, was wondering if anyone knows if the sight glass and kick start seal from an xs650 fit the cases of the 400? Part number in sight glass has the first 3 numbers different but I think that just means different model? kicker seal has different numbers altogether though. If not, where can I...

    Carb identification

    Hey guys, anyone identify these? They look a variant of a bs34? The mixture screws is the same as a bs34. These have 45 pilots without any holes in the side and no rubber plug. The one main was a 120 and the other is a 127.5. Could have been changed though so I don't know if that helps...

    '80 XS400 whiteout

    '80 XS400 whiteout Didn't know what to call it to get your attention? I'm also slowly working on a small resto-mod of my dad's xs400 as well as working on my own GR650 chop but I think this is going to take precedence for now, quite excited to see how it turns out. Going with a clean white...
