Worked like a charm on my xs650 chopper I've been building! First bump of the rear brakes and boom, clutch is free and works great! Thank you so much man, love the videos lots of knowledge here!

Thank you good sir great video man

My dumb ahh broke a key iny mini moto because it got stuck because I drive it in snow and salt and got it all gummed up. Gotta walk it an hour to the shop. Ordered a new ignition. Hope I can drill it out and not walk

Would this work with a zx6r 1996? Ebay sent me the wrong ignition just fed up now. Debating putting a toggle switch.

Would it help to press it into position then blow hot air through it to make it maleable?

at 2.19, there is a hairpin. it goes in the other way. the way you have intstalled it, it will fall out.

Great video! Thanks for putting this out there for us newbies to wrench!

Hi Mr myagi, l have a xs2, and here is my problem, when I'm riding the revs don't go down when I change gear, they do if I shut down the gas and brake. I have checked the weights on auto advance /retard they work fine carburetors work fine, now I'm stuck, can you help please Rob simonds. Uk

I just want to express my gratitude for posting these tutorials. Currently building a hardtail ‘82 XS650J chopper. I will put the knowledge you’ve shared to good work!

I've been working on the Yamaha carbs, I got a rebuild kit from Mike's XS, went one size up on the main and pilot, and cleaned the carb in an ultrasonic cleaner. I got it all put together and put them on the bike with rough settings, it started the first kick and could rev it straight away and after a couple minutes, I pushed the choke in and ran great. It's a different bike. I'm happy, thank you Mr Miyagi for your help. 😊

Thank you for making this video, did you have to remove the front subframe?

Thanks for all the insight Mr miyagi I've got several old shovelheads that I've put together but watching your video has brought me some new information I've also got a 650 Yamaha hardtail bobber that I need to wire up I've got a huge hand built I've got the capacitor but I don't think I have the regulator so I'll have to find one of those and figure out how to wire this I just need headlight tail light and brake and that's all but thanks for all of your information You and Pacific Mike always seem to come through and Ralph at this is my time let's go He's good and others but you're one of the best thank you again

Mr miyagi you are the man right You ever see any Bigfoot in your travels

Great Videos. Very Helpful. Gonna be re building and finishing an XS650 Chopper Project that my 23 yr old Son Parker started before he passed away in a Harley accident in 2023. Doing it in Honor of his Passion! Just got it into my shop last week. Just found broken piston ring and will be yanking the motor. Thank You

Hello Mr. Miyagi First of all, I'd like to thank you for your videos. They have taught me a bunch steping into the motorcycle world. I wanted to know if you knew anything of the Huges Handbuilt Xs650 cdi replacement kit and if so, if you would do a video on how to properly install it? Thank you once again and appreciate your time 🍻

What battery is that?

Hello Mr. Miyagi, I have a 1980 XS650. My bike has a hard time to up shift on all gears. Instead of upshifting, it goes to neutral. I found the 2nd larger selector spring was broken (there are two springs). Is that the cause or do I keep searching?

Bravo ❤

Thanks you for the video

What jetting did you use when you installed the K&N filters and what did you do with the oil breather

Hi Mr Miyagi, I wish for you and Mrs Miyagi a wonderful Christmas and all the happiness possible ;) (I changed my "nickname" now, but it's Dorian.)

I would like to see you put the carbs back on the motorcycle, start, and adjust them.

XS650: Great bikes!! Bullet-proof engine! Didn't handle as well as its British counterparts tho. I minor tweak, I think in '76, was when Yamaha moved the F. brake caliper from in front of the fork to the rear of the fork. This actually helped the handling a bit.

Nice work! Thank you for the up-close look. I'm starting to believe I can do this. I guess there's a first time for everything... My 4-speed shifts fine but it leaks like a sieve. Thanks for mentioning if the gearbox was shifting okay before then the Fork Adjustment Tool isn't really necessary. I'm glad to hear that bc for rotary tops it's almost $200 (ratchet lids it's only $75). Hopefully I won't need it... Thanks again!

I have to do this next week on my '81 FXWG. I bought an All Balls 1.4kw and it looks the same as yours. At 3:34 you say you didn't want that to happen. How do you prevent that from happening? Maybe it will be obvious when I'm actually doing it but I thought I'd ask. Anyway thanks for a great video it is very helpful.

Excellent. Thank you. From another Englishman. Nick.

Looking good!

Hello Mr. Miyagi. I enjoy your demeanor as well as the projects. I hope some young people watch and get motivated to build their own bike!!

Hi Mr Miyagi ! I like the look will has the bike ! That will be really "Café racer" look right from the "Ace café" to London :D The English man will loves it I think :D Many good tips too, I will attempt to keep that in mind ;) Be and ride safe ;) Dorian.

Hey, another great video! Quick question.... How do you know what size spokes you need for each wheel? Working on a Suzuki vs800 intruder. Any advice would be appreciated. 🫡

Has the ticking on the scram engine when hot gone after the cam change? Want to know the overall performance

Gonna look nice

Hi Mr Miyagi ! 😃 Wow, need a lot of calm and patience to work on spoke wheels 😅 I never try this pain at this time eheh😂 Love the tool to let the tire in place ! very nice ! Can't wait to see the bike on the road 😉 Ride safe

Thank you Mr Miyagi for another one. My friend who got me into XS bikes has a 650 and it came into question whether the camshaft was reversed or not(apparently the bike can run like that) I think this puts it to rest. I see that threaded side going to the right and it’s visible just by taking the side cover off.

Great video Mr Miyagi but with respect, they wont be Philips headed screws, they will be JIS screws, [ Stands for Japanese Industrial Standard ] the profile in the screw head is slightly different and so to avoid mushing the heads after they've been in there for years you should therefore use JIS type screwdrivers. Sorry to seem a know -all but it might help someone avoid a lot of hassle in the future.

Thanks Mr M!

The CB350 was my first bike. I bought a red '72 in '73...when I started working at Rick Case Honda in Kent OH. I was 19. Pulled the head, put CB450 intake valves in it, cleaned up the port castings areas, used HRC 305 valve springs. And drag handlebars! That was the beginning of motorcycle lust for me!

Goodjob ..

hello good man, I have the chopper craze, had it for 50 years, serious plague. I have a 24 over springer on xs hard tail with no rake, it is jacked up pretty good. Will it still pump oil, your wisdom is important to me.This is mostly a show bike. But need to start, for run to coffee shop.

Hi Mr Miyagi, and Mr the Englishman ! :p Well done ! happy to listen this engine ! Always a moment full of surprises the first fire up of a rebuilt engine ! :D Ride safe ! Dorian.

Doing this on my bike now, your video is very helpful! Thanks!

Hi Mr Miyagi ! Nice rebuild, I did once on a GS 500E, not so easy to do when it's the first time :D Love the bad ass test with the battery lol. :D Take care and ride safe :D

Thanks for this. Just what a fella needed. What kind of lifting block is that with the rope brake/grab? Link?

I think I speak for everyone here, I for one look forward to your upcoming videos, your helpful nature to teach us Wrenching on our bikes even if we don't have that particular one is so rewarding to watch,once again Mr Miyagi- THANK YOU!

I love xs 650 of the most of all bike's samurai trumphy my father called them

I am going to use virago 1100 forks and trippel clamps and use r6 calipers and rotors i can have twin disc front with the xs cast mag's thanks mate

Hi Mr Miyagi, In life, we have good carbs and bad carbs, these ones are good carbs :p Not so bad shape. Can wait to listen this engine ;) Take care and ride safe ;) Dorian.
