The XS 850 that I saved at first would not start no matter what I tried. I did all of the usual things, plugs, tires, brakes, cleaned the carbs, battery etc. I got out the voltmeter and realized that there was an enormous voltage drop over the fuse panel. I went to O'Rielly's and found a four or five blade fuse panel that had individual feed terminals. It worked so well the bike was running in no time.
It was also my first experience with a petcock that had no off position. I foolishly filled the tank and it all began running out of the overflows. I finally rolled it outside and put an oil change pan under it before needle nose vise grips pinched the fuel line closed. L0L. The shop didn't blow up since I got the heat turned off and opened the overhead doors.
The bike wasn't my style and I sold it for what I had in it. It was a good learning experience though.
