Hey guys, I purchased replica mufflers from MikesXS for my '72 XS650. They look great and seem to work fine. However, I'd like to open them up a bit. I could use a little roar (not too much) in my life. Has anyone done anything to modify the baffles on these mufflers? If so, what did you do and...

Hello fellow 650 enthusiasts. What may be simple question... any suggestions as to how to remove the oil strainer cover on the bottom of the engine? After removing the six (6) bolts from the cover it does not want to come off. This is a 1972 Yamaha XS650 (XS2). I don't know the history of the...

Hello, I have a 1972 Yamaha XS650 (XS-2) I intend to sell in the spring. I've completed a partial restoration and it is mostly original. I've enjoyed working on it, but have come to the conclusion I am not a collector and enjoy riding more than anything. I've owned many bikes through the years...

Hello all, I'm looking for stock air filters for my 1972 Yamaha XS650. I see Mike's has them for $30.14! Does anyone know of any less expensive options? $30 for $5 of material just doesn't seem right. Thanks.

Howdy, I am going to put a new front tire on my '72 XS650. I intend to put on a Dunlop K70 tire. My question is this... the tire comes in two sizes either a 3.25-19 or 3.50-19. I believe the stock size is 3.50-19. Is there any problem with going with the narrower 3.25-19? Thanks in advance.

My recently acquired XS2 came with bent fork tubes (stanchions). I purchased replacements from Mikes XS. My dilemma is this, the new tubes came with smaller damper piston, spring, and collar. The original damper piston and accompanying part do not fit (too big) in the new tubes. See pics. I was...

The fork stanchions (aka fork tubes) on My XS2 are bent. I purchased replacements from Mikes XS. The new ones have some kind funky part on the lower end where damper attaches. Pics to follow. I'm not sure why. I intend to remove and install original dampers. Anyone else experience this? Any...
