    Timing will be critical, as we are aiming to get these out to you before year end! The format remains the same with 4 phases of the project.

    Phase 1) • NOMINATIONS - 7 days
    Phase 2) • VOTING STAGE - 7 days
    Phase 3) • WINNERS SEND PICS - 7 days (If you are nominated and would like to get some nice photos of your bike, now would be a great time to do so in the fall before the snow flies.)
    Phase 4) • Production/delivery/shipping


    Nominations
    1. NEW - Nominate UP-TO 3 bikes that you'd like to see in the calendar for 2018. Nominee must be member with their bike/build posted on XS650.com.

    Extra XS650.com t-shirts now available


    Travis
    Now that I'm fairly confident everyone got their t-shirt from the presale, the extra shirts are available for anyone who wants one. There are no Small or 4XL shirts, but at least two of all of the other sizes. Add a shirt to your cart then click checkout and it will tell you if your size is out of stock.

    XS650.com T-shirt Presale (Presale ends Sunday April 30th, 2017 at 11pm CDT)


    Travis
    XS650.com T-Shirt Presale! (Presale ends Sunday April 30th, 2017 at 11pm CDT)

    People have been asking about getting t-shirts made again so we're doing a run of them. The last time we did this was in 2011 and 2012. Daniel Peirce was nice enough to let us use his XS650 engine photo again. We are keeping things simple this time with only black short sleeve t-shirts. They are silk screen printed (7 screens) on Gildan Ultra Cotton shirts. A presale is being held to make sure everyone gets the size they want. The presale will go until 11pm CDT on Sunday April 30th. After the presale, only a few extra shirts will be ordered, so sizes will be extremely limited... To make sure you get the shirt(s) you want, order today!

    Hi Mikuni Man, I have had the same carbs on my 650 for 46 years, worked well until now, sat for a year due to pandmic, gas gummed up and corroded carbs, I cleaned carbs thoroughly, but now it wont start. looks to me like a classic tiny passage somewhere is clogged, any ideas on how to clean out the carb passages ? All else is now cleaned up and looks good, but wont start. TIA, Andy
