Yamaha XJ650 part 42 - First ride

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

I finally get the tuning sorted and go out for a decent ride. Tuning is very good now, starts, idles and runs well. Now I just need to check its reliability over longer rides. The emblems took ages to find, but definitely worth the hassle and money

    Hey Shawn, sorry about your dad. I know the feeling. Memories last forever, agree the sound is better than music. I just love the sound you can get out of a 4 cylinder bike with the right exhaust....

    Watched them all! Bike turned out great. Was that a RD400 you were riding with? My first bike oh so many years ago was a 1967 YR1, then a new 1975 RD350B, then a new 1978 XS1100 then a 1979 XS1100, Then another (Recent) 1967 YR1, SR250G, XJ650J which is only one left. Old age has kicked in so will be letting the 650 go very soon. Prob will not ride any longer. Too many crazy drivers on the road here in Arizona.

    Hi mate, yep, that's an RD400 that one of my good friends owns. Crazy drivers here is Aussie land too, and some crazy animals around here as well. Got to be careful that's for sure

    Hi mate, yep, roads can be a bit dodgy at times. Gear selected on speedo works great, was one of the main things I liked before buying it.

    Hi , you have amazing bike, a lot of work and love gone into it I've also have a xj650 that iam trying to get it back to its glory, can I ask you a question where can I get a 4 into 2 exhaust system or did you manufacture one yourself, is there a company that can build one for me. Great appreciation if you can help me.

    Hi mate, I purchased mine privately. Not sure these over sized sets are made anymore. I think its just a matter of searching online to see what you can find, eg Ebay, etc

    Hi mate, feels great. Didn't really ride it as stock but no doubt the brakes are much better now too. I think its important to have a matched set of brakes, eg both front and rear set up like XJ900
