    Rear spoke hubs that will fit XS650.

    Hello. I have searched the forum,but mostly found answers about rear disc hubs. Here in Sweden the spoked rear XS drumbrake Wheels are really hard to find,16" mags are the common Wheels here. Doe's anybody know if there are any more "common" japanese rear drumbrake hub that could fit? No...

    Yamaha Flattrack finally finished!!

    Haha....no problems,just ask!! Yes,it's a Yamaha AS3 -72 fueltank. The hubs/wheels are from a Suzuki RMZ450 motocross bike,new billet hubs that fit the RMZ with stainless spokes and Excel rims. And front "respoked" to 19". I use a crankmounted digital magneto ignition from Electrex World...

    Yamaha Flattrack finally finished!!

    Hi. I used the actuator from a Suzuki GT750,3 cyl twostroke. Modified quite a bit to fit. Have a couple of this bikes and engines laying,and it is a good type of actuator,so thats why I used it. Anders.

    Yamaha Flattrack finally finished!!

    Hi. I use a 19" front wheel,and I have manually measured all the values,not so good at "computer-design",so it could be some millimeters of. And use a front fork from a Yamaha R6 -00,it is shorter compared to standard XS fork. The seatunit,seatbase and "upholstery" are made by me. Make all...

    Yamaha Flattrack finally finished!!

    Soooo happy!! After a winter in my garage did the new build see the sun for the first time. Bought a pile of worn parts,a empty frame that was "abused" and modified...a box with some worn engineparts....but everything can be fixed,so this is the result from that pile of trash! Have been a fun...

    Mikuni maxed out

    One thing often overlooked are the choke system. I would check that the chokeplunge have the rubber seal at the bottom with no damage,and that it seat properly for total seal. If you have a small leak,it will suck fuel from the bowl and mess up the jetting. Just check to be sure I mean.... Anders.

    XS650 Flattrack build.

    Yes,I did all work myself. But not so much "hogging out",just Clean up the castings,and concentrated on the exhaust,specially the transit from the exhaust "bowl to the roof. And also direcltly before/after the seats. Also cut the seat with 3 angles. But I don't do heads for other people,had a...

    XS650 Flattrack build.

    Haha,You nailed them!! Well,some mods are maybe not necessary,but that is the beauty of modifying bikes...go your own way and test things that You belive in. The whole subframe are new built,the frame was "modifyed" by PO in a terrible way,they had cut the subframe of,and welded some awful...

    XS650 Flattrack build.

    Thanks! Have no idea about the output,but hope for a engine with decent bottom and strong midrange with some power up the revs.. Here in Sweden the Flattrack series are on "Short Tracks",about 4-500 meters long,so no need for maximum "Top-end power". Anders.

    9-Disc Pull Clutch finished!

    Well….if You search for this clutchplates for XS650 You find nothing at all. But the tip of the day is to search for Suzuki GS1000 clutchplates,they are exactly the same dimensions as XS650,and perfect fit!!;) NOT the shaftdrive model,(GS1000G),but only the chaindrive type... And the GS1000 have...
