Hello folks due to heavy work load and general laziness I have decided to sell all of my XS stuff. Being realistic I don't think I will finish it any time soon. I have a half done bobber project currently fitted with a rebuilt 250 engine and also a near complete but rough 400 parts bike which i...

Hello folks, been a long time since I have spent any real time on here. Sadly the XS has been way down the list recently but I started back on her today. Been so long since I worked on her I couldn't actually remember what was needed so I gave her a look over and slowly the reasons why I...

Guys in this diagram what is the coil above the Alternator and below the Rectifier and where is it on the bike? :shrug:

Hi, I need a set of SOHC carbs. IIRC the engine is a 2LO but I will take anything that will fit it. Will take refurbed or in need of refurb, willing to pay for overseas postage for the right carbs. I am in Aberdeen, Scotland. Cheers, Nick.

This has been done before of course and I have searched, just wanted a couple of questions answered. :) My 250 is a bit of a basket case so When I saw another one reasonably near me I bought it too as a spares bike as it had no docs and had been butchered a bit by the PO. My 250 engine is...

I'm going to have to relocate my coils on my 250, probably to where the air filters were. Figure I might as well get new ones but I'm not really sure what I'm looking for. Anyone got any useful suppliers I can look at? UK suppliers would be nice.....I'm impatient :D Also my bike will be kick...

Anyone have any recommendations for shorter shocks for my bobber project? Standard ones seem to be 12.5" eye to eye on my 250. After some footering about it looks like 10.5" or 11" is the way forward. Any other bikes use anything like this or am I looking for something a bit more custom...

Hi, I just bought an XS250 today for much cheapness. I want to build a Bobber with it and have a few questions as I'm new to both bikes and XS's. 1. Am I right in thinking a 400 engine will go in a 250 frame but a 650 won't? 2. Does anyone do a 250/400 hardtail frame kit? I can weld...
