My rectifier on my 1977 doesn't check out, and just want to replacement. No combo RR or rewiring as my Voltage regulator is good. I would imagine this https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B09151NK7L?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image Would fit the bill (3 wires for each diode, 2 wires for + and - )?

Finally getting around to the little things to finish off my XS360 and not be tinkering every couple weeks. I misplaced my hinge pins long ago and wanted to get the same size and diameter as the stock ones if anyone could grab me that info off theirs. I have a couple bolt suppliers nearby so...

Hoping someone could help me out. My current swingarm pivot bolt is seized in the swingarm and it won't be coming out without some serious damage to it, so i'm on a search for a new one at a couple wreckers nearby. I don't want to pull it and potentially ground my bike for a few weeks if I can't...

Anyone know of a source for new springs for our mechanical advancers? I know mikesxs has a set for the 650, but have no idea if they'd be the same.rension as the ones on our bikes. I know some guys say to cut a coil if it's advancing too early, but I'd rather just spend the money on a couple new...

After a couple years of tuning and tweaking, I've gotten to the point that my XS360 with a 400 engine runs consistently. The only strange thing remaining is that on startup, and really any RPM below 3000 it seems as though the right cylinder cuts out. I've cleaned and synced the carbs, timed the...

Hey, anyone know the secret to disassembling an XS360 gas cap? I've gotten to the point I see no way of removing the "puck" and have no more screws to take out

Mistakenly threw out mine.Anyone have a spare kicking around?

I recently installed a pamco ignition, got a new battery and am working on getting it timed but am running into very strange issues. The biggest one is that at idle, it runs the strongest at around 30 degrees advanced. My knowledge of timing is limited, but given that the pamco rotor can be...

My EMGO universal coils spec correctly, but over ~6000 rpm my XS starts missing after it gets hot. If I get to the coils quickly right after running, i'm getting around 50 ohms across the primary circuit, then they cool down to the in-spec values (though they differ slightly, 3.5 and 4 ohms when...

I know there's a few of you out there that have done this. I swapped my 360 engine for a 400, and have the mk1 BS34's with the 17.5 pilots that are apparently a pain to get. Just wondering if anyone could share their jetting and to what surface they're doing their float adjustment from? My carbs...

Recently replaced my regulator with the common R292, wired a direct ignition relay supplying power to the coils and cleaned up some wiring (including rewiring the field coil and investigating stator wiring). One issue i've been having is that when I turn the ignition on (but not started) i'm...

So I've been trying to hunt down why I have arcing on my points, but I realized today I don't know if small sparks are ok. Should I see any light coming off the points while the bike is running? Before I've had big yellow sparks, but now I have small blue sparks that resemble a very weak spark...

I'm finding a lot more parts for DOHC combined RR's than for SOHC. If I bought a DOHC combined unit, could it be adapted easily to a SOHC bike? Or is there a critical difference between the two systems that can't be rectified with wiring changes?

Has anyone tried out doing a direct ignition feed to the coils with a relay off the battery? I've done it before with good results off my Z400 and my old CB750, but those were more well documented elsewhere. Has anyone done it on their XS? And how did it work out?

Hey, Picked up a 1976 XS360 last winter, had to swap in a 400 engine due to the high cost of oversize piston and rings for the 360 motor, but just got it all back together after a new top end. My problem is that I had replaced the coils (3.5 ohm EMGO units) and the points and I can't seem to...
