Thanks gggGary.

I was reading somewhere in a lot of the major European countries that if your bike wasn't above a certain year, newer model, meaning you did not meet emission standards you are required to have a special permit to ride at certain times in certain areas. I'm sure this is in effect. This is...

So I'm back at it. It's been a long time and am hoping finally to have this motor run. I installed the transmission after swapping out some gears and adding the overdrive 5th. I did this months back and tested it frequently while the cases were apart to see if any changes occurred or not etc...

Hi TooMany You indicated the splines changed around mid 77 and up, were these changes made across all 650 motors or just the 256?

Good on you for driving that love for her home. She'd be proud.

Thank you for your input. Thank you also for doing the math. Is there a max stack height? The barnette fibers I purchased from fortnine here in Canada as fitment parts for the xs650, though I'm sure other makes and models apply to the same fibers. I can contact barnette and ask some of the...

Well 2 fibers and 2 steel I should say. Is that even possible ? And how would that even function?

Hi 5twins Hi 5twins Still Relevant I just bought a set of 7 kevlar clutch fibers from barnette for my 77/78 and every fiber thickness was 2.5mm. where are you buying fibers at 3.5mm? Damn according to all the specs and talk about fiber thicknesses I just purchased a set of useless fibers...

Gary between yourself and farrell I really like what you did here. Leaves one feeling satisfied there's a decent fix and not have to remove all the bits and pieces after every ride. I just replaced the old one I had because I tightened the clip to what I thought was too much. I know I'll have a...

Years later this is still a good read.. Willis never mind guys rousing ya, they have a lot of experience It’s easy to see from all the posts, but they dont have all the answers. I’m here to tell ya there’s more than one way to skin a cat. Experienced Fellas like that said the same thing too me...

Just reading these posts now after all this time and Im thinking you were being a bit modest, you weren’t chasing sport bikes, they were chasing you. I dont think you had to try too hard either. Knowing what you can get up to with these 650s you worked those sports bikes hard. No one works on...

As you can see this is the XS performance springs. A bit larger in diameter and quite tight in the retainer plate. I was thinking about changing them out again to the heiden springs I have, but I'm going to Walk away from this for a few days a think that over. The heiden springs are the same...

I know this is a bit late Van Islander, but They could definitely make a little noise if they are loose. Not sure it would be enough to hear over a running motor though. I’d guess it’s something else. I would definitely change those springs as they are not taking up any of the initial torque of...

Yes a basket moving like that would need those Cush springs behind the basket changed. I just replaced my cush springs and they are solid. Before I changed them I could move the basket like that too but after changing, no damn way on this planet could I get that basket to move. However, that...

Correction the bolts were actually Alan cap screws with half nuts not bolts.

Yeah I can attest to that. It’s easy to over tighten it too, which is what I did to the point it wouldn’t move at all. I couldn’t quite get that sweet spot with just the right amount of resistance. I could see inserting a 3mm pin at the top loop working though. Anyway, also look at the gear...

I think my first name should be Late as im always way way past the conversation, but anyway a year or two later the topic is still relevant. I did this Cush spring replacement Just today actually. A couple things I experienced in the process. I managed to get the clutch assembly apart without...

When you say buy from boats.net which category do you choose, wave runner, outboard...?

Late as usual on this but The cam I have only has what looks like the original steel seals out near the end. Is this normal? Beyond that the surface looks a bit rough and not meant for bushings. I haven't tried putting brass bushings in there. Should I? I have a set of steel bushings that are...

Oh man i am so happy to hear someone else has a knifler valve on their bike. I was about to think that tool was going to sit idle. I use mine to chamfer my rims too when I cant get the tires off.
