Performance Mods to a 650G

[Anonymous]

a few months ago there was a similar topic on 550's where pretty much every major (and minor) perfomance mod was listed and discussed....very informative..but as i don't own a 550 i'd like to see a similar topic grow for the 650

maybe people could include dollar & techinical expertise ballparks also...

hoping to get my hands dirty this winter on some projects.....

Hey there, I also own a 650G, and everyone will just tell you how bulletproof the engines are, and to not mess with it. Im sure you could spend lots of money and do a carb kit, exhaust and pod filters, but most people hae just told me to simply get a bigger bike if I want to go faster.

with mine all I am doing is new rings, hone job, valve adjustment, carb cleaning and new gaskets...there was a lot of carbon on my cylinders and valves, so cleaning it all of should increase efficiency at the higher R's. Soon I will have a wheelie machine and I dont think its going to be an 80's bike :twisted:

and more:

If You increase (expensive) power to gs650g, You will soon notice that the frame, brakes, steering and suspension are not in the same dimension any more... additional $ and work needed...

Yes you should Phil :P but most of us have felt the same pain
and know the regrets that follow. Get yourself another one when
you can and you'll forgive yourself. But your still going to miss it.
