Eric, please take note: this is the XS650 Garage, not the Any Old Bike Ya Got Garage. Why is that, you ask? We aren't all things to all people and I hope we're not going to try to be. As Jimmy says, you can talk about anything in the General board, it's fine to ask about OT iron there.

I'm kinda with eric123 on this one. Yet xs650s are my passion, if either I get a non-xs650 or a friend asks me to look at something else, it would be nice for other members to point me in the right direction.
i.e. I had to find www.viragotech.com on my own for the Virago 920 I recently picked up.
I had an other member here point me to www.sohc4.net to help me with my GF's Honda CB.

The point here is that I wasn't looking for information from members, just some help pointing me in the right direction to find it. I spent the first year or so on other xs650 forums before I found this one. By fare this one is the best

Fix em, ride em, maken em better. Loven these old school twins.

buell88: Anybody have any idea who built the xs650 tracker used in the Draggin Jeans Ad on Pipeburn? May 16, 2017 16:24:09 GMT -5

joshua: The regulator/rectifier unit I got from Mikes PMA has closer hole spacing than original. Are we supposed to mill the holes to fit? Jun 7, 2017 19:25:58 GMT -5

joshua: My bad. I found the bracket they supplied to mount the rectifier/regulator... Uh oh. How is this meant to work? Which way is it meant to mount? Looks like I have to use some spacers or something. Good instructions would be nice. Jun 7, 2017 22:09:52 GMT -5

craig8johnson: Not sure if this is the right spot or not but oh well... Jul 11, 2017 18:04:15 GMT -5

craig8johnson: I'm checking the charging system. I'm afraid I might have fried the last battery. With the solid state regulator (after market) what should it be charging at. The book says, I think, 15 volts. I'm hitting 17 when revved. Is that too high? Jul 11, 2017 18:06:19 GMT -5

gggGary: Yes 17 volts is too high, about 14 volts is max, sounds like you don't have the right regulator or it's wired wrong. Jul 13, 2017 6:54:33 GMT -5

trix13: Also, even though all of my connections are clean, I cannot seem to find out why , when at higher rpms, I hit the signals and the rpms pulse with the signals...hahah. same with the brake light. I appreciate all input!! Aug 16, 2018 8:55:08 GMT -5

louisvan: trix13 - I had a problem with my 1975 SX650. When I got to highway speeds, the engine lost power. The problem was in the connectors. At a certain vibration and the wind pushing on the wiring loom, the connector lost continuity. A bad crimp to the wire. May 20, 2021 1:19:09 GMT -5
