    Goggles?

    Yah man I have been hit by two cars. Nothing serious, both were going like 5 miles per hour but they threw me on my ass. I don't take chances with that. I have a G-max 68s in plain white and I love it to death. It has like 17 vents or something. Its not too loud, my pipes are so loud that they...

    I am lost on this .............

    Go up a pilot jet size or two and maybe increase the richness setting on your needle. I am thinking that you are running too lean.

    Video: How to remove the carbs on the xs650

    So my buddy and I are going to be making a series of youtube videos on auto performance and customization. The idea is to make really well shot and edited tutorials on motorcycles and import car tuning. I shot this video yesterday and spent today editing it and doing the voiceovers. This is the...

    Pulling the engine today, I want to paint it flat black and polish the fins. I want the speedmaster look. I am planning on hanging the engine from a secure hook, it used to hold a punching bag, in my garage with a chain. Then I will erect my spray booth around it. I am debating if I...

    Number question

    It shouldn't affect anything. These bikes aren't really collector items yet. If you plan to keep it vintage and restore everything then it would be nice. Otherwise it doesn't matter.

    Broken Bolt Removal

    I had the exact same thing happen to me. I replaced mine with allen heads and they have been much better. No more stripping! Anyways I just stripped mine, thankfully it wasn't broken. I think I eventually got it out with an impact driver. Seriously though everyone should replace the stock...

    Anyone ever put a "ram air" intake on their 650?

    Gotcha. I think it would be cool to keep the carbs in the stock place and just have a big funnel directing air into them ala vmax. I will probably try making a mold out of fiberglass. One of the problems would be with water. Anyone have any ideas about keeping water out of the carbs?

    Anyone ever put a "ram air" intake on their 650?

    I was thinking it might be cool to fabricate a ram air system. I was thinking that you would need 2 180 degree elbows that came off the carbs. They would need to attach to some sort of funnel to catch the air. I was thinking it would look like the V-Max's airbox. Anyone ever tried...

    Can you post some pics of 650s with different frame colors?

    I am thinking of doing a red frame with a white body. Kind of like a duc monster. This might look really stupid on an XS though. Could you guys post some pics of 650s that have a frame color that is different from the body color? Thanks!
