I had a similar problem with my charging system as well. Check the ground wire of the regulator and be sure it's properly grounded, that fixed my problem. Also the book should have a series of tests for you to check weather its good or bad.

Food for thought Kop: it's worth mentioning that this happens in every gear at around 5500 RPM. It seems unlikely to me that all the dog gears and slots are equally worn. However, I really don't have any experience to back up that claim. I'm not disregarding your suggestion, but would you think...

That's encouraging to hear. I planned on replacing everything anyway. And by everything I mean everything I can without splitting the cases. So drum, forks, rods, ect. We'll see if that fixes it. If not I'll just have to live with it for a while, cuz I don't feel like pulling and splitting my...

So its like a Tomahawk, only smaller. What's the point?

Interesting link Kop, stuff in there I didn't know. I'm not quite convinced though, since I pulled every gear off the xmsn and inspected them. The gear dogs had a SMALL amount of wear on them, and the slots looked very good. I'm suspecting the drum simply because there is a chip on the corner of...

Nice, I like that shape. Got some aggressive lines to it.

crocs and motocross boots. Those guys are stylin'.

So if you've followed this whole thread, you'll remember I had a problem with the xmsn jumping out of gear at 5500 RPM. Well the detent I replaced doesn't seem to have fixed the problem. I didn't want to do it, but I may have to replace the shift drum. FML.

Caught me off guard this one. Had to laugh. http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/bik/3720646888.html

It stands to reason that if someone could make that fiberglass abortion, they could spend an extra couple hours making it look decent.

A giant brick of shit...

So I've been putting a few miles on it, got all the kinks work out. All the ones that have surfaced at least. Gonna have to fix a few gaskets when I change the oil here soon. So Here are a few pics of where it all started. I didn't think to get some good ones back then, so you'll have to deal...

Hell ya, mine too

Are you dead set on the cafe look or are you going for a bobber style?

To each their own, of course, I just think the small tank is too small. I personally don't care for seeing the neck of the frame. Plus looking at that bottom curve of the first tank, you could get a cafe feel with some amazing, and unusual, lines if you continued that into the seat like your...

So now that she is all tuned up (as best I can), its time for her first road test. Around the block went great, then made some adjustments to the clutch as it was shifting super hard. Moved the throttle cables a bit so they would snap back to the closed position and locktited some hardware...

Thanks guys. So the instant I read Cuff's remark about putting the pilot jets in the line I slapped my forehead and said "duh". I did in fact have those little plastic valves that Bruno mentioned and promptly installed them. Brainfart moment there. Anyway, works like a champ now and everything...

I like the first tank myself.

New clutch cable

Need some advice here guys. I've been trying to sync the carbs up over the last couple days, but ran into a problem. As I've never done this before, any help would be appreciated. So here's a video showing what my gauges are doing, and none of my adjusting has got all the needles to run equal...
