An acquaintance recently gave me a 1981 Xs850 Midnight special that had been sitting since 1989. I went through the carbs, replaced the Battery, recovered the seat and cleaned the mice out of the air box, The bike starts, and runs. Everything seems to work, but the headlight. It is not burned out, but I don't know if there is an additional switch or what. Short version. Any idea of the best place to get info on this model.
