    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

i was told they work well at the circuit (at redline revs) but are useless on the road
anyhow, dunno if i'd want to downgrade an in-line 4 to parallel twin :cool:
 
These cams would not physically bolt in to your head. Your 650 is designed on the 550 which is a narrower engine than the GS1000. Lobes and buckets would not line up.
 
those are BADASS!!!! I want them for my collection!!!!

talk about a vibration maker!!!

I have done this type of firing alteration on XS 650s' instead of 1-2 1-2 1-2 vert twin smooth it is BANG BANG BANG twingle power strokes!!

these will change the sound of the running engine better low end torque and scream at hi revs!! trade off is vibration from 2 power strokes at once. very cool!!

I must admit I'm tempted but haven't got anything spare at the moment to put them in and waaay too many projects going on (according to the missus).

Someone on here has got to buy them and stick up a video of the bike running - I've seen a lot of messed around GSs but never a big banger.

And blo*dy 'ell Tripivot - what possessed you to go that way on an XS650? You must climb off that bike completely white!

Hang on you don't ride on the road at the redline revs...:eek:

Sacrilidge i say :D
 
Sooo then how am i going to get some more horsies out of my wee bike? is there a carb upgrade from another model bike or something i can slap on em, give her a bit more ahem puff?

Then again i have never given the current motor a compression test and it burns 1 litre of oil per 200-300 km's, so i think that might lower my ponies :-k

Are you aware that the 2 valve 750 pistons can go in your engine. They are a 3 mm overbore. Same pin height and diameter. Hint Hint.
A bit of port work and a big bore conversion will reduce your boredom of the bike.
