No clue what's happening but got my bike back together after sitting for over a year. Bike is a '77 XS360 kick only. Bike starts every time but when it does it revs to what I assume is redline(tach isn't hooked up). Throttle cable isn't stuck and throttle is closed. Slides aren't stuck either. I...

I'm finishing up the wiring on my '77 XS360 and the last thing I'm stuck on is wiring up the 2 regulator wires. I have a new 7 wire rectifier/regulator combo. The rectifier wiring is fine, 3 whites from the stator, red to power and black to ground. The issue I'm having is the wiring on the 2...

I've got a '77 XS360 and just finished doing a fork swap from a 2002 Suzuki SV650 (thanks to some all balls conversion bearings) and i've run into an issue. Everything fits great except now I've run into the issue of the axle diameter being too big. The axle on the SV forks is 17mm and the...

I've searched around and haven't quite found the information i need as far as swapping forks out on my 77 XS360. I found a guy selling some '02 SV650 forks and I'm trying to see how difficult it will be to put them on my bike. My fork tubes are 33mm and the SV's are 41 so i know i'll need to...

Would clogged jets, making a bike run on one cylinder, prevent the bike from charging the battery and eventually causing the bike to die? Bike is a '77 XS360 and its only running on the right cylinder, which is weird because the left carb feeds the right with gas...

Ok, my bike runs but only on the right cylinder apparently. While it's idling on the right cylinder, i put a loose spark plug in the left spark plug boot and held it to the engine and it's shooting a nice big blue spark yet when i put the boot on the plug that's in the engine it's not firing the...

I've got a yamaha xs360 with pod filters, a chopped exhaust(at my feet) and it's rejetted. I need to sync the carbs so i can plug the vacuum ports on my carb boots. With the vacuum ports open, it idles at 3k no matter what. I hook up my manometer to the carbs and the right cylinder sucks the...

It's an XS360 and i got it running great yesterday. I could kick it once and it would start right up and run great. Got home today, kicked it twice maybe and it started right up and ran great. Let it idle a while, turned it off and put my headlight back in so i could go ride it afterwards. My...

Bikes a 77 XS360 and i just installed new universal coils on it. I'm getting no spark at the points and I was wondering if it has anything to do with the way i installed them. I mounted them to the stock bracket location but my stock coils were the plastic bodied coils. Since the new coils are...

So i decided to change my petcock out and while i had the tank off, it finally rained after months and months of no rain. I had my bike under a tarp but its a shitty tarp from harbor freight and i think it got wet underneath. That means my coils probably got rained on. I'm getting no spark...

This is a '77 XS360 Ok, so i adjusted my points and kicked it over and it doesn't want to start. I pull off my pod filters and the one on the right has gas in it. What could that mean? While i had the filters off, i decided to spray a little carb cleaner and kick it so see what would happen...

I had trouble with the points not sparking so I wired the coils straight to the battery and it ran. Now i rewired the bike and have spark at the points but it won't start...any suggestions?

I'm getting to the point where i want to give up on this bike and i've never even had the chance to ride it. When i bought the bike, it didn't run so i cleaned the carbs and replaced the old broken fuse box with a new blade fuse box. The problem, which is the confusing thing, is that i have nice...

I've got a 76 xs360 and the old fuse box with glass fuses was falling apart and I'm pretty sure it was the reason i couldn't get any spark. So, i went down to advance auto parts and bought a new fuse panel. It's a 6 fuse panel that takes blade fuses. I wired everything up and it started right...
