    1981 Yamaha Heritage Special/'78 Standard Wheel Swap?

    I have a spare set of Mikes XS wheels with good spitfires on them that are fit for a '78 650 Standard. I would like the taller/skinner rear wheel for my Heritage Special (1981) along with the front wheel. Is this possible?

    1981 Heritage Special, on a college students budget.

    I appreciate it! Nice work on the '80. I took the '75 out for one of it's last runs in Boone until I bring it back in spring after the salt is washed away. But this is will have it a fresh oil change and hopefully routed fuel lines tomorrow. Valve adjustment and timing chain to follow.

    1981 Heritage Special, on a college students budget.

    That's whats I am thinking, $500.00, titled and ran without a single dime put into it yet, but it's a great foundation.

    1981 Heritage Special, on a college students budget.

    I was out for a ride on my '75 and ran across a fellow rider out on some Yamaha full dresser. He mentioned he had two XS650's laying around, so I began looking for a partner to buy these two complete (and at one point running) 650's for $500 apiece. Needless to say after one ride on my '75 my...

    Farewell, XS650

    At 20, and a rider of a virtually bone stock - original '75 XS650B I guess I might break the mold of the young guys who want to trick them out. But at the same time it is their bike and I cannot blame someone for wanting to put their signature on one of the best motorcycles of all time. So my...

    Well boys that's some good advice considering dad's a landscaper. I have 2 gallons at the house. Should I turn the front sprocket as well?

    Just looking for some Drive chain, Filter, and Tire Advice!

    Filters have been ordered, a K70 to finish up this set before Bridgestone Spitfires, and now my only decision left is should I go with the 520 O-Ring and Sprockets and save weight, or go for longevity with the 530 chain. The amount of miles I am going to put on the bike will decrease shortly...

    Just looking for some Drive chain, Filter, and Tire Advice!

    Thank you for the advice 5Twins! Any Chain manufacture you prefer? Also Is there even the slightest performance difference between the two filters. Because i want my bike to breath but double the protection is something I would like as well.

    Hey Guys I apologize for the long absence, but it has been a long summer at the resort I work at which has kept me off my bikes for the most part.

    Will K&N In-box filters fit in my '75

    I went to purchase a set of K&N Filters for the airbox of my stock '75 XS 650 B. They only offer them from '76 and on... Before I made a possible mistake I wanted to ask if the filters would fit in the box of the 75 or could I switch them? Also the price is 99.00 does that include one or two...

    Dunlop K70's, very sticky and grippy tire but sadly the rear is wearing out fast. I will try the Coker 70 replica and see if the compound is better. Thank you for the compliment.
