Hey guys, Over the course of my XS 250 rebuild bought a pair of XS 650 handlebar switches, had to splice some terminals because everything didn't match up properly...putting everything back now and I'm having some problems. This is off the wiring harness This is from the new RHS switch This is from the new LHS switch Now...if I kept the original switches, everything would be good except for the 2 2-into-1 green and brown terminals (which I have been told are indicators) having no matching terminals. Now with the new switches, they have a home but the black and blue terminal from the RHS switch no longer has a match (which I think is the lights on/off switch). With everything plugged in now except for that, none of the lights, indicators or horn works. I don't know if that's because things aren't plugged in right, they have been spliced incorrectly or everything has to be in series for it all to work? Any help would be appreciated Thanks guys

Hey guys, About to order a master cylinder rebuild kit and was wondering if anyone knew what size the bore is? The manual's useless. Edit: Nevermind, found, 13mm as I suspected.

Cheers mate, will give it a go.

At the risk of sounding like a drongo...where do the throttle cables go for my new Mikuni VM carbs? I know they go through the top but aren't sure where they 'attach' to, do you thread it through the needle retainer plate or something? Cheers

Hey mate, awesome cafe racer! Where did you get the megaphones from? I'm after something exactly like that.

Title says it all, am wondering if the 250/360/400 frame is the same as the 650, I don't think it is unfortunately. Cheers

Cool bananas, cheers mate.

Getting rid of the shit stock BS 32's and was looking to replace them with Mikuni VM 32's, ala: http://www.sportingforless.com/servlet/the...-carb%2C/Detail Will I have any problems fitting or anything? Do these carbs have a choke? Cheers guys

Putting together the crankcases, when I tighten the bolts the crankshaft gets stuck/so stiff it can barely be moved. I've taken the cases apart numerous times, but can find anything that would cause this. The only thing I can suggest is the upper crankcase pushing down on the crankshaft, but that wasn't happening before? And there was little-no gasket cement when I initially took it off. This has cost me 2 days of work on an already limited timeframe so any help would be much appreciated

That's what I want to know! ^

So, for eg a ZX-6 master cylinder?

Hmm, will keep that in mind. Thanks mate. Any ideas for a 'modern' master cylinder?

Ohh, right. So 650's have twin discs? Didn't know that. No, I was only going to have the one disk. So that's why I need to get a different master cylinder ey? Cheers

What's wrong with using the master cylinder from the 650? Was also planning on keeping the 250 disk, or is this a no-no?
