its actually a xs400, small brother to the 650. Two of my friends have the 650 and i wish i got the bigger one because parts are so damn easy for them to find whereas alot of my delays have had to do with parts. for instance the rear master cylinder rebuild kit and pads are NLA. i paid $80 for the MC rebuild kit from the states. pretty ridiculous for a metal rod and some rubbers. When i went to see the bike, it was only firing on one cylinder so i thought it was blown, NBD i wanted to rebuild it anyways but i did a compression test and its decent (150, 155). turns out it was just the timing. cleaned out the carbs, UNI filters and rejetting, lowered it a bunch, and it has a CBR integrated tail light mounted flush into my rear "fender," new headlight, drag bars, blah blah blah

i'd like to rewire the whole damn thing because i keep getting gremlins and it has a draw somewhere so i wired a switch to cut the battery off when sitting.

this is one of my friend's xs650

so when do you guys ride?
