XS6502F / XS650SK mash up?

[jetmechmarty]

Would y'all take this as 13 & 14 come as an assembly and are one in the same?

I see your quandary. Same part no and it shows a metal collar for both #13 and #14.

I wouldn't trust getting the rubber grommet if ordering both 13 and 14

 

[650Skull]

Tracked it down...........

Part #16

Sumo Rubber has them.

Partzilla

They have the grommet for the brake pedal/rear master-cylinder on 78/78/80
Parts 28 and 29

Looks to be the same, just a partzilla f**k up on part nos as usual................Grommet is the same part # as the Sumo grommet and corresponds with both the parts file i posted and the Partzilla link to the rear master cylinder

It’s the same at every OE vendor I looked at.
Thank you for doing the leg work.

Mikes XS has a rubber grommet and it says its the same part but its is wrong. Theirs is for the rubber grommet that goes onto the 2 top steel brackets the plastic side cover slips onto

Marty, On this build I don't think you are all that worried about originality. I got rid of all that crap and just used a 6mm bolt that screws into a nut-sert.

If its a trailer queen then no its not needed............if its ridden a lot I would be worried about vibration causing the Sidecover bottom bracket to crack. I think Yamaha got it right with their rubber dampers all over the bike

 

[ThatXS650Guy]

Mine is ridden a lot. No issues.

My intent is to follow your lead with the rivnut. Putting the OE grommet on the side cover seems to be the expedient thing to do rather than reinvent the wheel. I'm considering fastening them with bolts like these.

 

[jetmechmarty]

Sumo Rubber has them.
https://sumorubber.com/90480-14023-grommet

Yes, this likely the best option. No confusion there. Thanks

 

[650Skull]

The partzilla grommet is the same part no. For $3.30 and the time it takes to get it compared to getting it from Sumo.

There is another option.

Economy Cycle

Put in the part no, i haven't checked out the last 3 links for the part and they are US retailers

When I put the part # 16, 90480-14102-00, (off the parts list i posted), into Partzilla it comes up as superceded
by Part # 1904800-14023-00

This is the part No your looking for 904800-14023-00

 

[650Skull]

Same part from the US supplier................cheaper than Sumo and don't have to freight from England.

Personally, if I can get it from Yamaha for not too much money, that's the route I go, especially on rubber parts, and this part I can get .....

https://www.partshark.com/oemparts/partsearch/yamaha_motorcycle?partsearch=90480-14023

It's used all over the 650 (tail light, headlight stay, inner rear fender mounts), so if you have a stash of 650 parts, you may even be able to scrounge one.

 

[650Skull]

Yea but you save .51c..........all about cheap, right.

 

[Kevin Werner]

Prices are package of 5 or10.

I've ordered the OE rubber dampers and the Honda fairing bolts. I will update when the parts show up.

I have a couple of questions about powdercoat. Is there any reason why I shouldn't powdercoat the fork sliders. I've considered black anodizing if I cand find a local place and of coarse, cost is a consideration. I believe I prefer them in black. Can the bushing and whatever else is in there take the heat? Secondly, the lower triple clamp. Can I press out the stem and back in after the powdercoat process?

I've got a set apart and probably yes? Sorry.

If you are willing to grind out the weld and weld it back in,
but seems like it'd be easier to tape it off....................

I don't see any reason why not. Shouldn't bother the bushings any.

It's welded along the bottom Marty. You could grind the weld off and reweld after. Not sure why you'd want to press it out for powdercoating?

It's exactly what I wanted to know, gentlemen. I wasn't aware the stem can be masked. The only powdercoating I've have done in the past never involved any masking.
