In this video I start up the bike after the carbs have been cleaned. I diagnosed the start issue to be the relay in the solenoid which I replace in this video, and I show you my new kill switch and push button set-up.
On my 1980 xj650 i need to know how to bypass my run stop kill switch in my clutch and add a starter button if anyone can help me would be very grateful
I haven't taken the bike on a ride longer than just down the road since I started working on it but if you're having trouble going over 85 I'd suggest doing some routine maintenance to start and see how the bike reacts. I start with the easy stuff first and cross it off my list as I go. Change the spark plugs, make sure you have a good battery, make sure she has good compression, and clean the carbs.
@@soakedinoil2246 any chance your friend continued the bobber build and possibly has a RU-vid channel too? I’d love to see a bobber build of an xj650 from start to finish
