Alright guys, I know these questions come up a lot but I've come across a complete (and straight) front end for a great price but I can't find too many details around it. The front end in question came off a 2008 Yamaha FZ6. It has right side up forks, wheel, brakes, fender, both trees, and...

So I have come across a sump plate locally that has been modified to accept spin on filters, the owner states that it was made in Germany. I'm curious if anyone here is using one of these and if so what the overall opinions of them are? Thanks in advance!

Alright, probably a silly question but has anybody taken note of how their oil level reads when cold vs warm? I know the Yamaha recommendation is to warm the bike up and check with the bike level and the cap unscrewed. I check mine every time before starting it and have always figured if it...

So I'm working on swapping the springs and putting fresh oil in my forks, my front end is way too soft. 2 things came up that I'm curious about. First of all, the old fork oil is bluish green. Is that normal? Not to worried about it but not what I expected to see. Secondly, the springs I'm...

Any chance one of you have just a bowl laying around somewhere?

Anybody running a 5.75" bates style headlight with an LED bulb? Wondering if one will fit.

Alright guys, I need a little help, again. Last summer my bike had a few issues where it would stumble or break up in what I would guess is the mid range but can't give specifics as I don't have a tach. Over the winter I pulled the carbs apart, cleaned them, replaced the diaphragms and bench...

Hey all, I finally decided to check my valves. I know, I know, it should have been done a long time ago. My intake valves were both right on at .004 but my exhaust valves were about .008 and .009 so I adjusted them back to .006. I'm curious if the exhaust valves being out of spec would have...

Anybody here have any experience with the XS500? Anything especially good or bad about them? Came across this one locally, asking price is $300.

I see a lot of posts about pod filters and how they don't work well with the XS 650 and that the uni-filters are a better option. My bike currently has these filters from Mike's: https://www.mikesxs.net/yamaha-xs650-57mm-tapered-oval-pod-air-filter-2-1-4.html Are these just as bad? I notice...

So I have a 1980 XS 650 and a 1982 XS400RJ Seca and the other day I got to wondering if the rear wheel from the Seca would work on the XS 650, especially since they are both drum brake setups. I don't plan on doing it but I'm sure someone here would know if they are compatible. Not my bike...

Thought I had a deal worked out for one of these but the seller went silent on me. Anybody have one that they are willing to sell?

Hey guys, it looks like I've managed to track down a rear drum mag wheel for my bike. I was planning on having them powder coated but I don't have anything very local and the places I contacted seemed a lot pricier than I expected. I've been reading about painting wheels and it seems like it's...

Can anyone tell me if XS750 and XS650 front wheels are interchangeable? Seems like they should be but my google skills aren't giving me any confirmation. Thanks!

I know it's probably a long shot but wondering if anybody has any black powder coated mag wheels they are willing to sell for a fair price. Would need disk in the front and drum in the rear. I've seen them pop up a few times but I'm always too late. Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone. I'm having an issue with 4th gear "false neutrals" and came across this thread http://www.xs650.com/threads/false-neutrals-and-slipping-out-of-gear.2410/ describing similar symptoms and what others did to remedy it. Seems like for most it was a simple spring replacement. My...
