SHE RUNS AND SHE PULLS HARD!!! This morning, I took my XL out on a very spirited ride, and she performed flawlessly. I accelerated hard from a dead stop and in all gears. She pulled pretty well. I do feel what I think is a bit of clutch slippage. It's just a bit, but I'm sure a clutch cable adjustment will solve that. She's probably due for new clutch discs anyway. I've stuggled with this bike....

New to me XT350. When I give it throttle a loud rattle is heard from inside the engine. Cam chain maybe?.

This is my next project. I wasn't planning on buying any more motorcycles, but this came to me by a friend of a friend who knew somebody that had a friend.... and asked if I wanted to buy it. I got a great deal on it. Follow along as I freshen it up and dial it in.

This old girl was a bear to start. The night I filmed this, I gave her a spirited ride for about ten miles. In this video, she is HOT. Outside temperature was about 88 degrees. She fired up as many times as I tried. A Ricky stator is a proper upgrade!!

She started up without too much hassle. I took her around the block a couple of times. The brakes aren't as good as I'd like, but they are new shoes and pads, so maybe they have to break in a little bit. Got her home and shut it off to adjust the clutch cable. It was a bear to get her started again. I shut her down after she idled for a few minutes. Tried to start at it again, but I couldn't. S...

Over the last 4 or 5 weeks or so, I've thrown a lot of new parts at this old girl, new tires, new tubes, new wheel bearings, new spark plug, rebuilt carburetors, new air filter, new chain, new, sprockets, new fork boots, rebuilt forks, cleaned and lubricated everything else. We'll find out later on if she runs.

So far I rebuilt the forks. New tires are inbound, Tusk D-Sports. Carb rebuild in progress.

In this video, I do more examing of my new (to me) XL600R. I gave her a good wash and looked over everything.

As of March 2024. I've only been riding for about four years. Most of my life has been in the auto restoration industry. I quickly discovered a love for resurrecting old motorcycles. I find motorcycles that have been put away and forgotten. They usually do not run or run poorly. I buy them, fix them, ride them, and love them. My newest project, 1987 Honda XL600R!!
