Thank you for the help on the signal stems. Everyone on this site has been a
big help to me getting my '85 650 in shape again. Do you know where I can
get instructions or a manual on how to rebuild the carburetors? I let my 650
sit too long and it is running rough. I tried gas additives/treatments
Of course the clymer manual would be a good purchase. But, if you're
new to repairs of this type (car/motorcycle) this may not be the
easiest first project for you, and you may want to just take the bike
into a shop.

The turn signal stems can be found from JC Whitney. They look just like the
stock on the outside, but you have to bore out the center just a touch to
get the 3wires of the front blinkers through. The two wire rears fit just
fine.

Been reading up on the subject, and I'm pretty comfortable with basic
carb theory, but the hands-on dismantling/reassembly process is a bit
intimidating -- I think because I tend to
