    277° rephase cost VS vibration reduction (2024)

    The crank needs work after 60.000 km, the alignement is out of spec. But according to Heiden not so much to be the result of massive vibrations. Additionally on of the conrod small ends is suffering from pitting and needs replacing. The middle bearings can only be inspected ones the thing is...

    277° rephase cost VS vibration reduction (2024)

    I like both sounds too. My MT07 has a 270° crank and i really love the tunes from that akrapoviç! But for me its not really a must. Still in doubt about leaving it 360 or going 277°. Linda lean towards doing it, but the Money. Also want to do some other stuff to the bike. I guess people can...

    277° rephase cost VS vibration reduction (2024)

    Thanks for sharing! I'll check the piston weight just to be sure. @Ratranger i know there are other (cheaper) ignitions out there. But I'm really pleased with the quality of the vape system I have for the 360 crank. I don't really like the camshaft driven versions. I don't really like the...

    277° rephase cost VS vibration reduction (2024)

    Since we are on the subject of vibrations, what about the influence of a 750 cilinder/piston set? Does it increase vibes? I got the first gen Big Bore look cilinders but they are 650cc. The paint is coming off and want to have it blasted back to bare aluminium. I've got an option to swap in my...

    277° rephase cost VS vibration reduction (2024)

    Thanks for all the replies, I understand this whole topic and question is strongly related to what someone is looking for. And therefore very subjectieve. @articxs: By scrolling this forum I found and old but interesting topic about the physics of cranks and vibrations. Pretty technical but...

    Btw my 5th gear has started to develop pitting, so it will be replaced by that 5th overdrive. But I'm not expecting miracles from just that gear...

    277° rephase cost VS vibration reduction (2024)

    The engine is currently at Jerry Heiden, the crank needs to be rebuild anyways. He will do that. For the money it won't matter if I have it rebuild as a stock 360° or 277°. This bike has a lot of emotional value. Its been a learning curve for about 12 years now, being a project bike. A lot of...

    277° rephase cost VS vibration reduction (2024)

    I love my XS, and want to keep riding and tuning it for a long time. But I'm not a fan of the vibrations. I know it's an old bike and some say it's part of its character. But it not fun for taking the bike on a holiday. My engine has been checked and I need to get the crank rebuild. If I want to...

    Installing a Vape all in one charging and ignition system.

    Hi! Im looking to add back a E-start to my bike and am running the Vape system. Im exploring the possibilities to add a strong enough Battery while keeping the weight low. I appreciate your comment about running the anti-gravity batt with a vape system. If I understand correctly, you have a...

    Winter project: upgrading time! (R6 forks and more...)

    Maybe cool too share that after fixing the timing tooth earlier this year, I pretty much rode the bike every day to work and to France for a trip this summer. Can't wait for next season!

    Winter project: upgrading time! (R6 forks and more...)

    Hi, don't recall maybe it's in the topic somewhere. However my problem was have the timing one tooth off 🙈 Running mikuni VMs now, maybe I'll try the cvk again next year. Where are you located in the Netherlands? I'm in Zwolle

    2023 XS650 Calendar - Nominations

    Really appreciate this! However after being nominated last year and making it to the calendar, I don't know whether to accept, I guess other bikes deserve a change first? And secondly I didn't really change all that much this year....

    Just Ride.

    Haha this was a day trip! This was with all that I bring. Been fine tuning this for a while, although for another bike. But I got it down to just a roll and a tank bag.

    Just Ride.

    Did a 2400km camping trip to France, Germany and Luxemburg. Was a real nice week, met lots of nice people. Bike did great, only some small things 😂 ....broke the exhaust twice, lost some bolts, rattled the TomTom holder to pieces. The highway wasn't pleasant, I hope to improve the vibrations...
