XS650 Re-Phased – Stock Internals, 277 Degrees
April 7th, 2011 | xs650 | 4 Comments »
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….

Riding the Rephased XS650
March 31st, 2011 | xs650 | 3 Comments »
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.

Re-Phased XS650 Demo
October 28th, 2010 | xs650 | 4 Comments »Re-Phased XS650 Engine. This is a 277 degree rephased crank in action showing the rotation of the crank and the travel of the pistons in the cylinders. I do these cranks for many people in the UK and AU and have just now been getting interest in the US. I have a small business located in the mtns of North Carolina building choppers, cafe racers, and hot rod motorcycles. I build the cranks AND cams for these engine.
