murdercycle,

It would help if we knew what year / model XS650 you have because a lot of the electrical stuff is different from year to year.

The following is for 1977 to 1983 models.

The red ...

srinath,

Well, you could make a combo unit. Part permanent magnet...part wire winding. The magnet would get you started...the winding would produce the majority of the current output.

With this ...

Well, perhaps we could collectively make an effort to keep this site up.

Well, I've never had any trouble with the BS34's on my '81/H. The BS38's on my '78/E are a different story.

I think that the BS34's were built more precisely because they are EPA carbs. I just set ...

52F here today in Sunny South Carolina. Put on my long Johns, boots, gloves, helmet liner and most importantly.....my new silk scarf that my wife got me for Christmas. Rode the '81/H down to the supe ...

gentlemanjim,

They can be folded back and tie wrapped to the cross bar in the gas tank tunnel.

650skull,

Both the coils have the same mounting centers. The coil on the right (17-6803) produces a higher voltage, but the coil on the left (17-6822) has a longer spark duration.

grinder,

The regulator is a voltage regulator. There is no current regulation. Unlike a generator, an alternator self regulates the current because it will put out its rated current when the load d ...

The coil on the left is a 17-6822 with a primary resistance of 4.5 Ohms. The coil on the right is a 17-6803 with a primary resistance of 2.8 Ohms.

Either coil will work fine with the PA ...

Well, I have a very different take on the oil filter bypass. Earlier models had the bypass in the oil pump, which is where it belongs.

Having it in the oil filter means that it will open and bypas ...

Standard tank: 3.96 US Gal. Special tank: 3.04 or 2.9 US Gal.

Happy anniversary!

This place will cut a key from the numbers and do whatever else is needed.

If your gas cap uses a different key than the ignition switch, you can cut one edge of the key f ...

Well, all the choppers have a TC Bros hard tail welded on. Half of them have ape s*** handle bars. Most are kick start only. Few, if any, show any real originality. Like, same old same old. Seen one s ...

mayhemmetals,

Well, if you are "hacking" into an XS650, then you are not building one....

barb,

Why is it that the distaff side is always the one who initiates things like "Merry Christmas"? I think it's because women are just plain nicer than crude males....

Merry Christmas to you a ...

BG4D,

I think that "household" type wire was used to tie the coils down because it looks like there is a nut missing on one of the coils?

Miikes has the battery box rubber boot. Part #02-6529 fo ...

Two 2 X 4's extended through the frame and resting on a chair with wheels. Chain wrapped around motor and 2 X 4's. Grab 2 X 4's and lift motor, push chair and wiggle motor into frame.

jeepurz,

Thanks, jeep......

Well, the response for the PAMCO was overwhelmingly greater than I had thought, but I am still faithful to my wife.

The three prong flasher is not compatible with the YAMAHA OEM flasher. The third prong does not serve the same purpose . The third prong on the YAMAHA flasher is for the self canceling feature and the ...

If it is a reg/rect off of a '80 to '83 then this is how it is wired. As I mentioned above, you will have to isolate the grounded brush and apply power to it instead.
