XS650 Addict
I've searched for this subject and can't find it so sorry if it's already been discussed. For the uninitiated what is the best year of XS650 engine and why? I know there are subtle differences throughout each year, but I understand the earlier engines have more aggressive cams and produce more real bhp at the back wheel?
I have a '73 bike on it's way but I've been thinking of buying another engine as a spare to work on while I ride the other, this is what I've done before successfully with previous bikes. So would like to look for the right year.
P.S. I will be stripping the electric start and running a magneto setup so e-start is not a consideration for me.
