Tracker

[carsnwomen91]

comes down to idle quite slow... low end running lean or was this a cold start?

[claylubbers]

@carsnwomen91 Cold start- great notice though!

[pnutsandcorn]

kick it you vagina

[claylubbers]

@pnutsandcorn: Sorry tough guy- It's hard to kick and hold the camera. Next time I'll kick it just for you.

[Branballer3]

took away the beast from the sound, sir.

Pretty bike,dude. Really, I ride Triumph and Harley chops and I'd like this for sport riding in the hills around here. Does she handle well? Did you build it yourself? Where'd you get the special tracker parts? Sorry for all the dumb questions, but I really like! Sanitary!!

[claylubbers]

@Mrtriumphchopper She runs great and handles great for a '79 XS650. I put in brass bushings in the swingarm and since this video new rear shocks. She does pretty good. Some of the parts came from OmarsDTR.com, some came from MikesXS.com. Thanks a bunch for the comments- she's a blast to ride!

Great bike, I like it.

[thevyris]

i want this bike!

[toctuning]

I was diggin through my seemingly infinite amount of bike stuff in the garage and came across my old XS650 engine! What a blast from the not so long ago past! Mine was bored out to 700+cc, rephased 270 crank, street/strip mild cam grind for rephased crank, Mikuni 38mm carbs, massive porting job, way oversized valves, it honestly sounded alot like this bike! I think I am going for the "street tracker" build over the winter, thanks for the inspiration bro! You have a mighty fine machine!

[claylubbers]

@toctuning Thanks- lots of fun!

[toctuning]

@claylubbers Indeed! I ended up going a little smaller and put together a CB360T street tracker. So much fun I can't even explain! Well, you probably know what I'm talking about! :)

[sanfranciscobay]

Is it an older track/racing bike or a stock 650 make to look like a race bike?

What were the differences between the stocker and the race version?

How did they do next to the HD XR750?

[highspeedhamish]

They won the Championship in 78 and 79. King Kenny at the controls of course.

[nekoyashiki4898]

Nice to meet you.

I say, "Cat residence" of Japan.

Your XS is wonderful. The exhaust sound of the ideal that I imagine is heard.

Please value a good motorcycle forever.

[Ronjohn21420]

oh my... not only do i love the color but it sounds perfect, my 650 is alot deeper than yours. well after my project is done i may be able to compete alittle... haha

[abb3677]

[cremona32]

Awesome machine,you should be proud,Perfect motorcycle!

[claylubbers]

Not for sale! Sorry! It is a blast to ride though. Thanks for the compliments.

[seafood360]

[seafood360]

thats exactly what i want . nice bike guy

[hellicks]

Absolutely beautiful! I love ur bike, man! Just don't tell my Honda, she's a bit jealous! ;>

[card4]

electric start? seriously?

[claylubbers]

hehe- what can I say? I'm lazy! The kick works fine too.  It's hard to kick and hold the camera though...

[jimijamjim]

Nice Bike. I have a nice 1981 for sale. 2K firm.

[Nelso90]

That sounds way different from my Honda CM400. I have a 360 degree crank in my motor, that sounds a lot like a triumph 270 degree crank. Sounds great too!I remember my dad owning an XS650, and it really used to buzz my butt, it didn't have balance shafts!

[VitaminPepsi]

The vroom vroom sound is quite nice

[she4me]

nasty note on that xs, sweet! i miss my 650E, wish i never sold it. i have to get another one.

[bikerdude73]

Sweet ride and awesome sound :) Ive got a SR 500 myself, but im keeping an eye out for a nice XS 650!

[123spasser123]

where you got that kit from?

[rickmankwaki]

Lovely :)
