i can relate to that!

The W clips were too short even if bent so i temporarily packed some plastic tube. They just don't work for my application (XS2). I ended up buying some W/Clips from Yamabits .. these do the trick .. tight as!. pic attached shows they are longer

Hi!! Did you solve this problem? I'm not about to say you installed them wrong... as i am experiencing the same issue just now on XS2. :) I've had this issue in GT750 / GT550. That list experts were adamant that it was installed wrong. I found that the GT750 taper bearing kits were thicker...

thanks.. yep gonna bend them a bit more and as you say pack it a bit. i tried packing by using the three lugs on the back of the shell. but it wasnt enough... I'll report back .. as thing plastic clear carb hose

Did these work OK once you had them in the correct way.. I ask because i installed some and still have slop. I installed the Geoff XS 650 light, the clips, into what I believe is standard XS2 headlight rim ( The bike is a mint unrestored 5000 mile bike so i dont doubt the rim is right... yet)

that picture tells it all ... doh! ;)
