Riding the Rephased XS650

[@thomasziegler719]

had a 1981 xs650. great bike. sold it.wish I hadn't.

Awesome video. Good sound. Thanks for sharing Its been good to have another XS650 rephased video to watch. It really does sound like a V twin, and so it should. The fireing interval is exactly the same as an 83 degree Vtwin. It must be a good feeling to modify an engine and have it sound different and run smoother.

cant believe i see no comments about the foot clutch wheelies. nice work

[@Jakes_projects]

I could write a more sophisticated comment but all thats needed... Holy shite that sounds good!

[@Bbbbad724]

Is it a 270 or 277 ? It sounds like a V8 when it is on the power band. I have decided that round slides are wrong for the street. Rebuild a set of BS38s and it will rev so quickly in any kind of weather situation from a dead start . The rephrase really helps vibration, the rear view mirrors become useful. And they sound like a V8.

@LASTTOPGUN I am 6' tall, and this bike is about 3" shorter wheelbase than stock... Its all in the handlebar positioning, and the controls... I never feel to large for this bike...

How does a rephrased xs650 engine fair going 72 miles an hour for 5 hour stretches @ a time?

[@AzraelYHP]

Awesome Motorcycle

[@punkskalar]

@johnny21usaf Yep, vibrations are minimal once you have rephased the engine... Its sweet!

[@jawknee21]

So rephasing would help eliminate some of the vibration? My xs shakes pretty bad. Makes everything blurry. Still not used to it...
