You bring the airhead and I'll bring my Triumph shirt. First man to turn his back gets buried outside Cleveland.
 
Re: Out in a field Build ... XS 500 The Sock Monkey

Cool then I can turn the Survivor in for a big reward to fund my next build ::)
 
Re: Out in a field Build ... XS 500 The Sock Monkey

Plus you get the airhead and the shirt. Smart guy.
 
Re: Out in a field Build ... XS 500 The Sock Monkey

Well I got the coils installed and grounded ;D I cleaned off the paint or PC off the frame and coil rack for better grounding . Also ran wire from coil to coil to Neg on the battery to make sure it was getting grounded .






And to the guys I need to ship parts to im running lil behind doing this sorry !
 
Re: Out in a field Build ... XS 500 The Sock Monkey

Screw shipping parts! Get the XS running first!










I can say that since I'm not waiting for parts....... :)
 
Re: Out in a field Build ... XS 500 The Sock Monkey

Lol. Good thing I'm patient! No hurry, Scott. Get your stuff taken care of first.
 
Re: Out in a field Build ... XS 500 The Sock Monkey

I'm not going to rush you on the parts i should have picked up from your place :)
 
Re: Out in a field Build ... XS 500 The Sock Monkey

Well got most of your guys stuff packed !


On the XS everything almost seemed fine but I have to say FUCK NEWTRONICS ! I have nothing but problems with it so guess what ... It's running old school points now and the Newtronics is out the door ! And will say way way better just have to smooth out the carbs just a bit more and its MONEY !

If it reads "12V OM11-50 403" on one side of those coils and "WAT YONG" on the other, you don't need to ground the posts - they're just M6 bolts molded into the coil bodies.

(Source: I just tore one apart to make sure :D)
 
Re: Out in a field Build ... XS 500 The Sock Monkey

You know you learn something new everyday that would make sense ::) I think I was over thinking it and trying to make sure ! See there I go thinking again I real need to stop doing that LOL
 
Re: Out in a field Build ... XS 500 The Sock Monkey

Wow. It's looking like I should have gone with the Dyna/do it yourself ignition.... You're the 5th person easy I've heard had problems with the Newtronic ignition....
 
Re: Out in a field Build ... XS 500 The Sock Monkey

I know, right? I still run points in my TX & XS's.... every time I "think about" upgrading to EI....... up pops another Newtronics horror story :eek:
