XS650 Re-Phased - Stock Internals, 277 Degrees

XS650 Engine, rephased by Hugh's HandBuilt in Asheville NC. 277 Degree Rephase, stock bore, stock head, Mikuni VM 34MM Roundslide Carbs, Stock Headpipes, Pamcopete Ignition. This is a Kick Only engine, we deleted the starter and all the related shafts and gears.

Still needs to be broken in, fully tuned, camchain re-tensioned, head re-torqued and such, but this is a great running engine. The ticking you head is the valves, I run them very loose while breaking in an engine, at .006-.007" so that I can guarantee everything is getting oiled properly before final tuning and install.

Notice that this thing is SUPER loose on my test stand (only 1 bolt holding it tight), but idles smoother than any stock XS650 engine you will find. I built this for an XS650.com member.




And yes, I know I need a better camera.... Thanks for watching, and check out Hugh's HandBuilt for other Rad XS650 stuff....

I own a 83 rite now, but what is the reason for rephasing?

@lobsterfu

Look through my other videos, and then do a search on Hugh's HandBuilt and you'll find more info on my Blog...

Thanks punkskalar for yet another example of a rephased xs650.

I want to buy one now and rephase it. I used to own one back in the 80's.

Do you modify your own cams?

[punkskalar]

@MrPercyboy

I modify cams for myself AND my customers. Hit up Hughs HandBuilt blog

[punkskalar]

Yeah, I'll leave the tuning to the new owner when they have their own pipes and such installed. I have a motorcycle IV in the shop as well.

[snaredrumking313]

[TheBreakingNewsGang]

Is this the same Punkass that's on Pirate? We need to talk. I think I'm gonna start a thread and I want to know some stuff about these 650's. I just picked one up in a lot of parts. You see my Cafe vids and build thread on there?
