If there was to be a list of deadly sins committed while riding a 650 yam I would start off by Rule#1..Never ride the bike with a dicey battery/charging system.
#2..Never have to go to reserve when in the middle of the never never.
 
Changing oil and filter every year....whether it needs it or not.
 
my #1 is dont trust a cager's turn signal.
And #2, if it fits----go alittle faster that the blindspots can keep up.
 
I always,no matter which bike I ride, is to remember one important fact. 90% of the other people out there can't see you and the other 10% can see you and are out to get you.
 
loud mufflers saves lives!

I have said it before and I'll say it again "Loud pipes Save Lives"
How many riders have been wiped out by a cager with the lame excuse "Oh I didn't see you"?
So the next time you get booked for a noisy bike repeat this quote.

Install a voltmeter on your bike, and Rule #1 cannot happen to you.
 
In a car with the windows up, the ac blasting, the stereo as loud as it can get and talking on the phone they can't hear your loud pipes.
 
+1 on all of the above. Never hang a tool pouch on the front forks - 650s need all the cooling air they can get to the front of the motor.

These are the ones that you need to let them see you,either that or keep the hell away from.

Rule #1...Courtesy Kills..:wtf:..drivers that let other drivers into a stream of traffic......when that happens, it becomes a social event and nobody is driving anymore...they are all being nice to each other.....waving....blowing kisses...discusting.....:( and I have the scars to prove it...:mad:

Rule $2....Being nice to other drivers kills.....see #1 above.....:wtf:

As for operating the XS650, or any bike for that matter, have a plan. Don't just go wandering all over the place. If you have a destination, it means all the decisions have been made and you can focus on riding. This is especially important when riding with a group. :thumbsup:
