Riding the Rephased XS650

The Black and White XS650 I built. My first bike... She's a little beat down lately with bad paint, scratches and such. But I built it to be pretty first, and then get the ever living snot ridden out of it 2nd... She is a little cold in this video, probably hadn't been run in a few days when I fired it up. Foot Clutch wheelies are my favorite, but I think the clutch is just about dead. My buddy helped me take some video, thanks for watching... I'm pretty sure my Neighbors hate me.

This is the same bike that was originally video'd under "Rephased XS650" but in complete form. Check out my other videos for random motorcycle goodness.

Im also about 6 foot and looking to build a bike like that. Hows the bike feel ergonomically? What are the frame dimensions? I was going to buy a 70's xs650 and a TC hardtail for my bike build. What do you think? I'm looking for a shorter look like yours but I also want it to be low to the ground and comfortable.

I am 6' tall, and this bike is about 3" shorter wheelbase than stock... Its all in the handlebar positioning, and the controls... I never feel to large for this bike...

So rephasing would help eliminate some of the vibration? My xs shakes pretty bad. Makes everything blurry. Still not used to it...

@johnny21usaf

Yep, vibrations are minimal once you have rephased the engine... Its sweet!

Awesome video. Good sound. Thanks for sharing

Its been good to have another XS650 rephased video to watch. It really does sound like a V twin, and so it should. The fireing interval is exactly the same as an 83 degree Vtwin.

It must be a good feeling to modify an engine and have it sound different and run smoother.

Is that stock gearing? the first gear on my XS650 seems pretty wide like yours....I didnt know if That was just a common thing with them.

@WarFighterPS3 Its going to feel smaller then a harley. But the bike has plenty of power and you would not be cramping up. So go for it.
