Yamaha XS650. Carb manifold replacement and air pods sorted. Beautiful test ride in the spring sun.

Well I think that the air leaks problem is sort d and was the cause of the left side pop. It runs like a dream now as you can see in the sunshine ride!

You can’t beat a classic ride in the sun.Looking good Nat a real shame you have to part with it 👍🏻

[@NatsNackersYard]

If it’s not nackered, it doesn’t belong there!

[@sandmanGT350]

Yes that's one of the first things ( besides internal rebuilds) I've changed on the all my xs bikes. The little things we sometimes overlook. She sounds sweet. You are making me envious. I can't wait until summer.

[@NatsNackersYard]

I didn’t really think that it needed it but it has made a hell of a difference.

[@DB71170]

The USA spec was called the xs custom due to the humped seat,whereas we called it the special . None of your joyous ride would have been possible unless you put your heart n soul into it, as per normal. 👍🤟

[@NatsNackersYard]

Thanks mate. I have thoroughly enjoyed this one.

Can't be that classic sounds aswell a unusual bird chirping in sunshine in Feb😄

I was very lucky with the blue skies!

Nice one Nat. I had them filters on my cb 900 cheap bike ran like a bag off shit . So paid a bit more and got some k n with a stage 3 kit . Be sad to see the old girl go . Onwards and up 👍😂❤️🔧🏍

[@NatsNackersYard]

It runs well now. With pods and straight through exhausts I think that it will always be a little poppie but it's a great bike.

[@motorcyclerescuer]

Looks and sounds amazing Nat. Great work.

[@NatsNackersYard]

Mate it rides beautifully. Gear changes are so smooth compared to more modern chain drives. Definitely worth a go if you spot one to do up.

[@NatsNackersYard]

@@stevepalmer5670 you may be right Steve but it’s a bit of an unfair comparison. This bike is 40 years old!

[@NatsNackersYard]

My version is more 90's and 00's bike mate. I have never owned anything new!

[@projectclark123]

Really good video

[@NatsNackersYard]

Thanks mate. It's a great feeling when it all comes together. Makes up for all of the time that it doesn't!

[@challengable]

So, I’m wondering, are those pods designed for 1978 carbs? Why did you have to modify them. I need filters for my 78. Any suggestions. Nice bike you have there.

[@NatsNackersYard]

This was along time ago but I do remember having to restrict the air on the pods.

[@sweetdreamzzz804]

Hey Nat, did you do any rejetting to compensate for the pod air filters? And if so what jet sizing did u use?

[@NatsNackersYard]

It was a couple of years ago so I don't remember mate. As a rule of thumb though it's up one main jet size per adaption. This might help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYPFZHSfobmfrbc

[@Klassykevin]

Are these the tapered turbo mufflers? sound cool, look good.

[@NatsNackersYard]

It was a while ago but I think that they were just straight through pipes mate.
