March 12, 200817 yr Moderator I was thinking about putting it in the starter as well (since mine doesn't work - btw, I had hooked it straight to a battery and it made some noise, sounded like it tried to move a bit and then it stopped).... Have you seen any 12v batts that are small enough to fit in there? 12v alarm batteries are looking the best fit

April 3, 200817 yr Thanks for your help guys Whats everybody running for oil as far as weight and brand? I bought some new carb holders last night so hopefully that cures my surging and racing at idle but if not its time to blow apart the carbs again. About the oil: I've been using Shell Rotella T 15W-40 diesel oil (white container) in my XS650 and am very happy with it. It's built for durability under rough usage, doesn't mind high temperatures, and is relatively cheap at $8 a gallon locally. They also have it in a synthetic version (blue container). Since Shell is an international company it ought to be available just about anywhere. Steelburner:rolleyes:
