:thumbsdown: Product review time...A while back I bought a cheap pair of chinese knockoff mirrors for less that $20..They actually worked and clarity of mirrors is predictable with engine speeds and rpms. Mirrors smooth out and are vibration free at 60mph+ cruising range... But i had a small...

Why did Yamaha change the designation to TX? Were the differences cosmetic only? If there are existing threads on this? i didnt think to look..TIA

Well the brake light does work...but both the front lever and rear pedal require a herculean effort to get to brake light to light up....under normal braking it just is not coming on...So my friends following have told me... Is it just an adjustment to the brake light switch?

Looking to buy Japanese made shoes so mikesXS is prolly out... Looking at Vesrah..so my question..Is this the correct part for my 1980 G...VB225? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vesrah-Brake-Shoes-Rear-Yamaha-XS650-1974-1981/193525442483?epid=716161157&hash=item2d0f03e7b3:g:ilIAAOSwnXde7EeG

I'm never one to question the cognoscenti...The common wisdom and belief is that because of the weak sump filter prone to tearing is that mileage change intervals should be around 1200 to 1500 miles but certainly less than the Yamaha service manual recommends..I could never wrap my head around...

Well first off..I'm still here and I still have the bike...I am about to delve into it..my budget necessitates that i have everything in order so as to not do this in a piecemeal fashion...April is the month..So new tires..used shocks...and perhaps a new chain still unsure about that...Some of...

Well it looks like things are going to be closed this year..Cannot forsee that we will be in the clear by Sept...The following came from the Graham County NC FB page.. In all likelihood this means no VYR this year..I hope I'm wrong but i seriously doubt it...:( Dale Wiggins 13 hrs · As a...

I see lots of different alternatives for shocks. Being budget minded i need not to spend or over spend on new when something used will be more than adequate... Case in point..a fellow here is selling his Triumph Bonneville shocks with the bushings modified to fit our bikes...they are 13.5 " as...

I read in classified section a person who bought Progressive shocks at 13.5". But they interfered with his mufflers..thus he sold them.. I am considering the same length 12 series Progressive shocks..but I am concerned that they will will fit without interfering the mufflers..Currently the ones...

It looks as though i still have the original swingarm bushings. I did the swingarm test with the bike on the centerstand and i was able to wiggle the swingarm laterally...About 1/8th'' each way...How bad is this? I know about the Bronze bushings...But I am not going to do it personally...then...
