For sale is my 1983 Yamaha XS650 Chopper. The motor has about 12,000 miles an it completely stock. The hardtail is a David Bird with a 2 inch drop and a 4 inch stretch. I'm selling this bike to fund another project. This has been my daily rider for the past few years. I have not had a...

Any pics?

I'm looking for a slimline front mc. Anyone have one?

Thanks for the replies. I added 7oz not 7.5. I was just a little hesitant because the service manual calls for a lot less then 7.5 oz. it raining cats and dogs here so I haven't had a chance to take it for a ride but the front end seems a lot more firm.

I'm changing the oil for first time since I've had the bike. I searched throughout the forum and I just want to make sure I'm adding the proper amount of oil. I going to be adding 7.5 ounces. I just wanted to make sure this the right amount for my 83 heritage special. From XSLeo

Well guys, I thought I fixed my problem but I guess I'm wrong. I was on the highway today and I still felt the vibrations. I think I'm gonna order all new sprockets. I looked at them and they look alright but I know the front one is the Original sprocket on my xs. Maybe one of these...

Im gonna give it a shot and loosen it up a bit. The chain's a brand new $120 Oring chain. I also have a newer rear sprocket. I know I should have bought all new sprockets and a chain at the same time but I didn't. I'm just glad I think I've pin pointed the problem. I found this video on the...

How did you adjust your chain slack? I flipped the chain tensioner so there was no tension on the chain. I then adjusted the chain for 1/2 play in the tightest spot. Then I flipped the swing arm part of the tensioner over and bolted on the skate wheel.. Maybe my chain is too tight....

Ok. I checked the rear sprocket for wobble and it seems pretty damn straight. I added more tension to the tensioner and it seemed to do the trick. I can still feel a little shimmy but its pretty much barely noticeable. There another notch on the tensioner to add even more tension and I may...

Steering is stock. I'm almost positive it's rear end. Steering head is tight. I'm going to try to increase the snap on the tensioner spring.

Thats my chain tensioner. The wheel seems true and I'll have a look at the tire bead. How can I check the trueness of the sprocket? Should I take it off and lay it on a flat surface? The chain is a brand new ORing chain but it does have the usual tight spot.

I have a david bird hardtail with 4 inch stretch. I've been getting a weird shimmy/vibration at around 55MPH. If I go a bit faster it goes away and I can't feel anything below 55mph. I don't think its an out of balance tire because it's not a constant vibration. It seem to be more along the...

Here's a pic of mine from Pinned Ohio this weekend. 400+ miles in the heat and the rain with no problems at all.

I've changed my oil several times on my 83sk and I just noticed something. I always check my oil using the dipstick and not the sight glass. Today when I changed the oil I added 2 liters like I normally do. I warmed the bike up to operating temp and checked it through the sight glass while...

Ill try to post a pic later. The holes are so small that you can see them.
