Finally got my 700cc top end rebuilt project to a good intermediate pausing point. Earlier this year, I fitted the 700cc (697cc) JE piston kit and a Shell#1 cam from Hoos. The head underwent a cleanup, 'street porting,' and had Kibblewhite valve springs installed by Roger at R&D Motorcycle...
I have been re-assembling my bored, rephased XS650SJ. I have hit snag while degreeing the cam, and want to ask your advice.
Background: Valve job, head re-surfacing, and boring (to 700) by Hoos. 447 crank and cam 277 rephased by Hugh's. New pistons, rings, cam chain, cam guides (both)...
Heard through the grapevine that Gary from Hoos Racing will be hanging the hat up for retirement and that day when it comes will be a sad one for XS community,( Gary sells top quality parts not like some) as Probe ignition is calling it quits and 650 Central might be in the same boat if no ones...
