Thanks Pete!
Good advice!
Is the oil pump the same one as offered by Heiden?
Mikes don't seem to sell them..

... I was wondering how much it would help things if I upgraded the magnets on the drain plugs with the new super magnets that are available .
You need nuclear drain plugs and atomic oil pumps.
I worked in Nuclear power plants for 18 years, and actually the basic fluid pumping principle in a reactor is similar to the XS650.Hi xjwmx,
it's been 20 years since I worked on nuclear reactor design but trust me, the pump tech ain't transferable.
And the XS650 engine don't need no more oil pressure, what it could use is more oil flow.
And of course, better filtration.
Welcome to the forum, Roman G.
I found the magnets on the early '70s weaker than some later '75- up drainplugs. Rare earth magnets in the drainplugs sounds interesting. How do you plan to incorporate those?
