Captmandel Sorry you took my answer the way you did :shrug: yes I do know the answer, I think my thread Fazer Blue Spot caliper in the "tech section" shows that. http://www.xs650.com/forum/showthread.php?t=197 Brakes are serious things, get it wrong & you could be seriously hurt. From your...

With your level of mechanical expertise, it might be wise to leave something as important as the brakes alone :doh:

Have a look this link, should help ya work it out http://www.vintagebrake.com/mastercylinder.htm

Hi Spreaders Try the UK based XS650 forum http://www.customxs650.com/

you may wanna look at different carbs before spending that sort of money tho...mikuni VM34 are prob the best.....look here for the expert supplier on these http://www.650central.com/carb.htm

just had a quick look & wemoto & bike buissiness in the UK list them, does not say what make tho & these can be affected by modern fuel. Best bet may be the genuine Mikuni ones listed on Heiden Tuning in Holland, an XS650 expert who ships to the UK, Ive used them loads, cost 70 euros each mind...

Failing what Jay said, they might be BS38's have a look here to help id them http://www.mikesxs.net/pdf/XS_Model_ID_Chart.pdf Also get yourself over to the UK XS650 site http://www.customxs650.com/ Both myself, Jay & many others are on there too Kev

best guess without engine or frame number would be 1957 5T or 6T, the tank badge & full width front brake hub was introduced in 1957, the colour suggests a 5T but could have undergone many changes in over 50 years..........engine type should be stamped on engine block............very nice tho, i...

Welcome xs650nutt I'm in sunny Herts, about 40 miles north of London. I'm on both this & the UK forum. My XS was my daily ride until the dogs on 5th gear went, so its in bits awaiting an engine rebuild & flat track conversion. Its also running a one off stainless exhaust pipe, RamAir filters & a...

Simple answer NO look in the tech section under carbs, this topic has been covered more than any other & no 2 bikes are the same Read HERE,HERE& HERE, then read it again. find out what jets you are running now & take a guess as to what jets you think you are going to need, buy them & also buy...

The dog in the picture didn't just flow out with the old oil, I had to search with my finger in the bottom of the crankcase thro the sump drain plug hole to find it. Only found one, even after splitting the cases, so I'm guessing the other 2 went while with a PO :confused: Hopefully your...

Have to agree with jay760 Test it out, carefully changing into 3rd gear, if it is just like putting it into neutral, its most likely the dogs on 5th gear. I had the same problem, drain your oil & check for any dogs in the oil. Here's what I found :(

I believe xjwmx is referring to the bolt arrowed below. Proper maintenance of your brakes should cure this problem. I have been running this rotor with a Fazer blue spot caliper & have had no problems

Welcome aboard Dave another UK member:thumbsup:

Post your engine number Leslie & we will tell you the year of manufacture or just look it up HERE

Don't think there are too many off the shelf parts like that for the XS but easy enough to make yourself or just fit an aftermarket speedo, there's a mini speedo with idiot lights on Mikes XS or look at something from Acewell etc..............

Hi Leslie Got to agree, Pregrids is an absolute beauty. :thumbsup: Got my seat unit off fellow XS650.com member XS1961, he sells them on ebay but PM him & he will do it even cheaper. He is in the UK Another good place for Flatracker bits for the XS in the UK is Redmaxspeedshop.com

Ditto Leslie Mine has already started, rear frame cut off, flatracker seat unit fitted, LED rear light.............:D

Details on the clamp & fitting available from Pamco Petes site HERE Don't know if they are available in the UK tho Leslie

If we knew where you were mistercartoon, it would help.:confused: From your post you sound like you might be from the UK Tell us what country or state your in & someone will help you Im sure :D
