XS650 Enthusiast
First let me say thank you to everyone for sharing all this info. This site has been a huge help to me as I'm going through my 81 XS650H project I picked up recently. I had the same bike in the mid 80's and always regretted selling it. I wish you guys were around then!!
Heres a few unanswered questions i have:
1. The origional title had the bike as a 1981 "XS650H-R"does anyone know what this "R" was about? When I got my new title the "R" was not there.
2. to change the fork oil: is it just a matter of taking out the top bolt(which has the flat head skrew inside of it) and pulling the drain plugs,then pushing down on the handlebars to work the old oil out. put the plugs in and add the propper amout of oil,then reinstall the top bolt? Is there any adjustments to be made with the skrew in the bolt or anything else i'm missing? the forks are a bit of a mystery to me. The manual isn't clear.
thanks again for this site!!
