This is cool idea. Im wondering if you could make a similar side mount assembly, but a use chain block on a perpendicular runner instead of a jack (for people who have a chain block). You would have to gently support the motor, but the block would take the weight so you just pull it sideways...

Hi mate. Im after a pair of handle bar clamps. I don't want the entire triple because of the shipping weight. I live in NZ, but i'll ship to Portland to a freight forwarder if you're willing to part with them. Cheers

Glad to know you're all good Signal! Extinguishers are a must and they cost next to nothing. One time I cut a couple of corners on setup doing a little MIG job and spatter must have landed on a shop rag l had next to me on my workbench. I looked up and it was on fire. Fortunately my...

My first login in a little while, and this is really sad. Robin & our other lost member were both the finest of characters. Their comments, insights and smarts on the site were always invaluable to me. Condolences to the families. Ride safe my friends.

I thought they looked pretty well priced too, assuming the quality control is on point. Certainly a great alternative to some of the crazy prices people are asking for used hubs down my way of the globe. It would be awesome if they also brought out a hard black anodised option, or even raw so...

+1 on what he said. Foil.

Will send a PM

Any updates here Gary?

Similar issue with non-OEM fork seals. Just garbage... I make a practice now of always checking if a part is still available through Yamaha before I buy random stuff. It's usually the same price, shipped right to my local dealer for free. Just check via https://www.yamahapartshouse.com and...

Bump. No one even has the long lower engine mount bolt?

Talk about luck! You must thrilled. Getting something so personal back.... I totally understand how you feel. Years ago when I was young & stupid, I wrote off my bike & needed some money so I sold a bunch of my stuff including my leather riding jacket to a pawn shop.:( About 3 years later I...

Looking for a main axle in good condition. 306-17411-03. Must be the late version to match my gear sets. The late version looks like the top one pictured.... You can see the difference at the clutch end. I live in New Zealand but have a proxy address in Portland so it can be shipped there...

Thanks for that post TwoMany. Always helpful and insightful. I think its unlikely i'll run that axle but some good stuff for spares. I read through that thread you linked. Im curious about the service bulletin points. Measuring the lateral play of the gears.... I tested via feeler gauge...

Hi Fred Thanks for the input. What do you make of the wear marks on the flanks? I guess the picture doesn't show it that clearly? While the other gears from this transmission set don't show much wear at all, the axle itself does.

Hi All Got a complete eBay transmission here I bought cheap that I was going to keep as a spare but now I'm thinking of using. To me, everything looks pretty good. Good gears, good bearings, all threads good. However I noticed a small chip on a tooth of the main axle when I took it all...

Read this thread.... http://www.xs650.com/threads/inner-bushing-on-fork-lowers.51148/ If you want a summary, those bushings were never listed as a part, so there isn't one available specifically for the XS650. However, you can use the part number - 1H3-23125-00. It's intended for the SR500...

Most shock manufactures should specify the travel. For example, the Progressive Suspension '12 series' 11.5 inch has 61mm travel while the 12 inch has 74mm travel. Racetech recommends 13mm clearance between fender and tire when fully collapsed to allow for frame flex. If you go to race tech...

Perhaps this thread could be of help? http://www.xs650.com/threads/pamco-advance-locating-pin-question.33072/

Could order either. Its really up to you. 3" drop is gonna have a noticeable impact on your ride. You'll remove about half your travel. Cutting 3 inches of the springs will increase the spring rate. 1" won't have as much impact but probably won't give you the look you want. You can also drop...

Man how the hell do you guys score bikes like that for so cheap. Over here, $200 would probably buy you one part. Literally one part. There is a guy selling a rear hub on our eBay / Craigslist equivalent for $400. A pile of parts will usually run a few grand. A working road legal bike in...
