    XS650 Wheels On A Yamaha XV920R ?

    Yes, the XS uses a 6 spring cush drive in the clutch basket instead of the rubbers in the rear hub. Not sure if one way is better than the other... they both work, so.... One member here uses a TX500 (I think? :umm: ) rear hub on his XS. @5twins ... you out there? Maybe he can comment more.

    Not sure which was tougher, the men that flew the Huey's... or the Huey itself. Damn things could take a beating and still fly. CITATION: The President of the United States of America, in the name of Congress, takes pleasure in presenting the Medal of Honor to Major (Field Artillery)...

    PirateShip how can you pay

    I've got Paypal and a card both on there... with Paypal as default. If (when :doh: ) there's a Paypal glitch, I can tell it to use the card.

    PirateShip how can you pay

    It'll ask if you want to make that the default payment method. Tell it yes and it'll automatically use Paypal without the hassle from then on.

    Go to "Settings" then click "Payment Method." That takes you here.... Click on "Add new payment method" (top right)... and you'll get this popup. Click "Pay with Paypal" and just follow the prompts from there.

    Stalling as soon as clutch lever is released.

    It's all in the technique. Push the stand down to the floor, now stand on the tang... put all your weight on it (the tang) and at the same time lift straight up on the passenger grab bar. Never pull back... pull straight up. Yeah... it's harder than most, but you should be able to do it by...

    @46th Georgia sent me a paint card of his star black mix and I recon he's nailed it. Hopefully he'll chime in here.

    WTF

    GPS uses triangulation and distance (time) from 3 or more satellites to solve complex calculations for determining precise locations. The greater the number of "visible" satellites, the better the accuracy. Not present in the those calculations is anything to do with magnetism and/or...

    Take a gander at my spark plugs.

    Using a manometer... or by sound and feel... is to adjust the sync between the carbs, NOT the mixture. And going by your description of one cylinder being weaker than the other, I suspect the sync is the cause. Try syncing the carbs.

    DT 250/400 tank

    Jus' to throw another option out there.... No law says the coil(s) have to go under the tank. Since I'm running pod filters (OEM airbox removed), I mounted the MP08 coil on the front of the battery box. Should be enough room there for dual stock (or whatever you decide) coils. :shrug: Has the...

    Brake caliper question

    I'd suggest taking the caliper back apart and see why that's as far as it'll go. Like wheel said, it should go pretty close to flush.
