ask Ken Maxwell. Google "ken maxwell wiring diagrams" would be my best guess to find his stuff on line. His XS650 diagram has ~7 wires on it, just like my BSA.Fred Hill, S'toon

Alright, well, update #1. April 4th 2010: Went to mess around with the bike yesterday, took pics, girlfriend had the memory card out, so, yea, notta to put up yet. Took the pod filters i have on there off, a little bit of gas in each one, i could use a napkin to get all 4 dried up, so im not sure whats causing that. I've been in a battle with getting the title to this damn thing for 8 months now. Still haven't gotten anywhere with it yet, so, im wondering if i am going to get any riding time this summer and am debating on stripping it down, frame and all. Anyways, i'll keep ya posted1980 Yamaha XS 1100 SG

waitin to order the forks, axle, and brake assembly! bout $450 for the rest of it, then finding a rim that looks good on the front. so far so good, looking to buy a welder to get that frame done, thinking about a drive shaft extension to get the rear end out a little more, but probably not. I am really enjoying working on this thing, and im glad i have this forum to come to in case i have questions...i'd be LOST without you guys!1980 Yamaha XS 1100 SG

hey guys, hopefully people still read this thread, i need some advice! Okay, so i know the top and lower bearings are tapered, im trying to figure out what the reasoning for this is. I have the busa triples mounted, but for now, i used a regular flat sided enclosed bearing rated to 25,000 rpm i think, something like that, i tapped the race out of the top and the flat sided bearing pressed right in. Everything works smoothly, im trying to find out why tapered bearings are used if this flat side bearing works just fine. I've searched it already and cannot find the answer. Thanks again1980 Yamaha XS 1100 SG

my understanding is that tapered roller bearings, like the xs has stock have a longer life span and require less replacement/maintenance then regular ball bearings, and are "better" for street use. The sealed type ball bearings are supposed to provide better "road feel" and are used mainly for track bikes.1979 xs1100 Special -

you pressed in a sealed ball race that just happened to fit?
Never mind the 25,000 rpm on a bearing that moves dead slow and not in a full circle, it ain't relevant.
Check the bearing book that gave you the rpm number for the race END THRUST rating.
Now check the rating on a Timken tapered roller bearing.
Betcha the Timkens have at least 5 times the load rating.
That's why they put them there.Fred Hill, S'toon

the bearing is a 30x47x12. which is the size of the bearing needed to put the 04' busa front end on from what i've researched. i posted that question just to find out what tapered bearings are used, that was all.1980 Yamaha XS 1100 SG

Hi apg,
I live down south of you a couple of hours. You don't see too many xs's around here, but I see one every once in a while. It doesnt take much style to be like everyone else.....but when you ride an xs...
I hope you get that title soon, it's getting to be great riding weather!Jon
