She Runs! No Start Diagnosis XS650 [P3] 

This could be the one of the least pretentious, most refreshing motorcycle channels on YT.. This wonderful hobby is a journey, and we all learn along the way💯

Definitely your father's son ..That's a compliment.

Good job guys 👍🏻 Now just be careful, ride smart 🏍

I had to do this mod earlier in the year. Works perfect!

Sounds lovely

Love XSs and have owned 4 of em. The last one had a Suzuki Bandit master cylinder for the front brake. Looked and worked a lot better than the original .

The 1980's were not the best when it came to putting sensitive electrical components in places where they would not come into contact with large amounts of water laced with road dirt, salt and everything else you could throw at them in the course of their service lives, which were undoubtedly shortened as a result! For example, I had a Kawasaki GT550 for 20 years and the CDI ignition unit was mounted on the frame downtubes right where everything off the front tyre would get thrown at it. Consquently I ended up having to replace two of these units, not because the units themselves failed, but because the connecting pins corroded away to nothing due to the really bad positioning of the unit and in spite of me religeously cleaning and protecting them in every concievable way! I guess British winter weather is not too different than that in New England!....😁 P.S. Good trick with the packing tape!...👍👍👍

Lucky find for me. Just subscribed. Two peas in a pod. Refreshing content. Humble thankful and funny. Keep making content like this youll keep gaining suscribers. Thank you both for sharing your time.

You guys have awesome taste, an XS650 and an Ironhead Sportster with an S&S aircleaner and dragpipes aka my fav combo for an Ironhead. Just awesome i love it.

Cool, you both did it!

Sweet looking bike and sounds awesome enjoy be safe

That was one of my favorite bikes. My first street bike. The reason you had no ground is because the japanese put hot constant, and ground to activate

Very good

My wife had the black chrome and gold trim "Midnight Special" of that bike. I had the XS 1100 "Midnight Special" model. We ordered them both new and enjoyed many hours of riding together back then. Good days indeed.

Love the bikes!

Kool dog😊

Nice sporty t😊

I like your 650 and it sounds awesome. Ride, refuel, repeat. Johnny Boy

I love that bike!

I can relate mate my bike hasn't run in near 12 months but I hope to get it together in the next few weeks

I bought a 1977 xs650 over 8 years ago. It was more of a parts bike than Id liked, but it was priced ok. The guy i bought it from said he hadnt had it running in the 8 or 9 years he owned it, and the previous owner said it has been just about that long since he had it going. So it hasnt been on the road in 24+ years. Hoping to get it going before riding season 2024.

Bugzy your bike really looks good 👍 You and your husband should do some rides together 😎Dave

Kool yamahaper😂👍🏾✌🏾🤙🏾

Great looking bike. It is a pity that Yamaha did not make a retro xs 650 for today's market. A lot of other makes have been successful and the Yammie 650 is an icon.

'Love the XS650's! 'Had 2 - 1974 models. 'Would love to find a nice, stock '76-'79 Standard.

Not trying to be rude or anything but if you have the stock carburetors they are Mikuni CV (constant velocity) and they do not have an accelerator pump on them so twisting the throttle to (prime) them does not do anything. Just an FYI. Glad you got your bike running again!

Bliss !

Thats a good looking and sounding xs 650... not every upgrade thats out there can be used on every xs. Depends on year and model. I got a 82 model. Not original anymore, cause that model of xs has hit every branch of the ugly tree falling down. Electronic ignition, gives a constant good spark. As i heard and read it also makes for a constant good combustion, witch means it produces more heat than originaly with points. It sometimes seems to run a bit lean. Tweaking the carbs for a bit more feul seems to resolf both probs. Did you have such a prob with your xs?

GLP GUARANTEED LOWEST PRICE AT GUITTARGHHHHHH CENTAAAAHHHHH

I am about to rebuild my wheels. I notice that you have an unusual spoke pattern in the rear wheel

Have you changed the timing at all when you did this mod??? Asking for my sanity!
