Thanks for all the extremely valuable info. This thread is becoming something of a motorhead's bible.

Thanks. Will do.

Sorry, one more question about this engine enamel. About how many cans did you go through?

Hi, just wondering if anyone can explain how things need to be lined up for valve adjustments on my 81 cb650.

Ok, so I tried switching plugs, wires, and resistor caps between cylinders and nothing changed. Cylinder 3 is still the problem. Any recommendations for what I should try next? Check valves maybe? If it's a carb issue, what would it likely be? I appreciate any help in advance.

I love the frame - the rear triangle is super cool. And I second the previous comment about the paint and the hub.

Re: XS650 Racer from a ranch junkyard That bike looks amazing! I love the fairing. Congratulations on the baby - I've got a first child on the way too - a little girl who is due in 3 days.

The tank and seat are amazing! Isn't the tail light in the cowl? Or are those holes for something else?

Bummer. I hope you find something that works.

Yeah I tried that. I'm totally stumped, so I'm just going to replace the master cylinder and hope that solves my problem.

Thanks a bunch.

Good to hear. I'll have to add the fiberglass layer too.

Hi, I'm sure this has a simple solution, but I'm wondering if there is a way to stop receiving updates on threads that I've posted to. Is it possible? Thanks in advance.

I just love that you can do all that without dropping the motor. That is a luxury that's unique to BMW's (and I guess some Moto Guzzi's too)

Good point
