Thanks. Gaiters and new bars. Rick

Here's mine Rick

I switched them up all right for future reference: on the SSY500 Set Bearing 25Y with Race 48YS goes in the top Bearing 30Y with Race 48KS goes in the bottom. Rick

I'm such a dummy. I think I switched the races. I'm using the SSY500 bearings. I installed one race in the top it sticks out of the top of the neck like (like others have reported) The number of the race I have left is 48YS. Is that the correct one to go in the bottom? Thanks in advance Rick

Hey All: I have a set of jugs with nice sleeves with broken fins and a set with good fins and notso good sleeves. I would appreciate any tips on removing and installing sleeves. TIA Rick

I'm finally getting back to this and since I last posted I did discover that the push rod bushing was worn and the seal also leaked. I got around to replacing those parts this week. I went with the one piece rod. Took a short ride and, seeems to be working fine. I pulled the sump filter...

I got my patch today Thank you so much Rick

Thanks Barb Bonnie and Gary: Payment was made. Its so very nice to do this. John's passion and ingenuity certainly made him worthy of this comeration. It will be an honor to wear the patch. Rick

Hey Barb: I would like a patch when they are available. Should I go to Gary's link and order now? Is $7.00 correct? TIA Rick

Mikee's assisant:eek: Now I've seen it all. I guess when you are that messed up you might need some help messing up. Man! : how messed up do you have to be to take that job:yikes: It is turning into a stoner show with rich disfunctional people. How could this be :confused: Glad to learn...

Way cool thanks for the info Rick

I just recently became on the mission of making my SF into a desert sled. I can weld I just never did an exhaust. So I was looking into info into possibly doing it myself. The bending part my be a hang up for me. Can you buy 90 and 45 degree bends? Just so I know what would it cost for you...

Sorry I assumed everyone was familiar, with the bike that made the famous jump, in the movie the great escape.

I would get an exhaust like on the Triumph TR6. I do not know where to start. Are there aftermarket ones for the 650? Do they have to be fabricated? If anyone has done this or know of a bike that has them; I would appreciate the info. Rick XS650SF

Hey John and all: Its been a while but I think I would like to take a stab at this. The lower clutch adjuster does wobble. Is this what you are talking about? I looked in my Haynes manual for a for the push rod bushing and under the clutch outer drum the manual shows slide shim thrust...

I guess I'll pull the left cover and check the push rod. The clutch was acting up a little. Was working fine, got in a traffic jam and after that seemed like it would not disengage fully even the next day. Could that be a symptom? Thanks Rick

It may be a while but; I'll post again after I pull it apart. Rick

It does not knock runs pretty good but: does use a lot of oil. Oil consumption is why I was planning a top end rebuild. From the possible copper parts bearing and such it is telling me I need to go deeper. Thanks

High to all: I have a 79SF. Last time I changed the oil I noticed what looked like copper dust in the oil and on the filter. http://s910.photobucket.com/albums/ac303/rickrod3/?action=view&current=DSCF2878.jpg What is wearing? Should I stop running the engine? Thanks in advance Rick
