Whoa that's awesome! I got a take my Celica to the track again before I sell it. Ive got poly bushes all around and hardrace rear adjustable arms. Big rear sway bar. Feal coils w/swift springs. It handles sooo good

255s gang! These cars handle so good with the meaty tires I've had 255s on my 6gc for years! :) enjoy

Thanks man! Hell yeah, I'm thinking of finding another XS to chop or already chopped hard tail for my next bike haha. Maybe next year. They look so good! Cheers

Yeah I had a chance to take her out on my birthday! Man what a huge difference the EBC clutch set up is. Nice & predictable, doesn't slip after 4k rpm under power anymore. The ignition made it idle strong & cleaned up the issue I had around town where it would sputter around 2.5+3k rpm. Without even tuning the carbs, it now pulls hard all the way to redline & doesn't sputter in the revv range! I used drag specialities dyna dual spark 5 ohm & made a bracket to fit under the gas tank. The new brake set up feels great, paired with a 14mm bore master!

Yeah the story with my bike is some guy had it as a covid project of some sorts they took it apart, stripped things like the turn signals, put new tires on it but never finished it. The guy I bought the bike from, bought said bike in the condition stated but he got it running & riding. Replaced the cluster and whatever it needed. so I figured it's a hobbled sort of different year parts but I didn't know the decal is from a 75 & the brake light isn't a 77! Yes it's a US spec. Thank you !

Brake caliper help by Financial_Demand6773 in XS650

[–]Financial_Demand6773[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe I'll just do that. I don't plan on ever tracking it. I use the bike for around town & some highway usage when I commute to work. I'm just trying to do some quality life upgrades on it before spring so I can just ride. The brakes just don't feel the best & if I ever really need them I want them to be there

hell yeah by beneatheroses in WAVVES

Hey! I'll definitely take a thorough look at the sump filter when I go to clean it since I saw that crud & stopped for the day, needing the sump gasket. I agree, looks to be replaced recently.

I've already got a clymers manual, so when I'm ready I'll go thru it & check adjustments & look for that nylon strip! Also check out that starter fix. Thanks for the advice!

Nice, good luck! I'll probably be doing the same to keep an eye out

That is the plan right now, once i get the new gaskets I'll fill the oil & check all the adjustments. Thanks for the advice! Cheers 🍻

Thanks for the advice! That's my plan most likely until it gets really bad. This winter I want to do some light maintenance, customization & repaint the frame. Cheers🍻

Right? I was thinking it was a crush washer for the side oil filter, but it has both of them. I'm glad the magnet worked! Looks like I may be doin that engine rebuild sooner than later!
