    For Sale - 1983 XS650 Heritage Special - Buffalo

    Hey guys, My bike was making a strange noise, and I got it diagnosed from a mechanic as a spun crank bearing. I'm looking to sell my motorcycle now. It's a shame, because I just put some new Bridgestone Spitfire tires on it and it has a newer battery. I also put some JC Whitney euro bars on...

    Why do you love your XS650?

    I love my XS. This is my first motorcycle. It's an 83 Heritage Special that I bought last year for 400 bucks. The guy who i got it from said that the stator was not working. I did some puttering with the electrical and found that the fuses/block was to blame and switched it out, teaching myself...

    Am I too big? Or is my XS underperforming?

    Hey. Anytime I take my bike out, and get her on an open road where I can really let her go, she usually just peaks out at 70-75 mph. When I'm in fifth on a relatively flat road, and I try to go over 4000rpms, she just starts shuddering and hesitating, and won't make it much faster than...

    Motolanna Seats...

    Does anyone have experience with Motolanna seats? Their prices are intriguing, and on the website it says that they would fit an XS650 with "little modification". I would appreciate if anyone has pictures, specifically on a Heritage Special. Charlie

    Lack of XS's at Port Dover

    This weekend I headed up to Pt. Dover Ontario for their Friday the 13th rally. I walked around on Thursday night, and Friday all day and couldn't find a single other XS650. Tons of Maxim's, a Radian and a bunch of other Yammies, but no XS's. Maybe it's a lack of them in Canada? I figured I'd see...

    Trade - Heritage Special Mustang seat for your Bratstyle seat

    Hey everyone. I'm brand new here. First post! I'm looking to make a trade with someone. When I bought my Heritage Special last year, it came with a Mustang Seat on the bike. It's a beautiful seat, but I feel it's not really my style, nor does it fit me very well. I'm looking to trade it for...
