[Will a seat from a xs650 fit a xs400?]

What they are trying to say is the 650 seat

hinges from the other side than the 400.

[xs250 engine swap (with larger engine)?]

Hey thanks everyone, looks like I will grab the bike and keep- an eye out for a 400 engine at a wreckers.

Cheers,

Don't have to get the whole engine, just top end is fine.

[XS650 ignition coil]

I'm having a problem with the coil on my 650. It has a Lucas rita ignition box, single magnetic

pickup and a single dual fire coil. The coil i originally chose is one off a VF1000r, dual fire with replaceable

leads but the main reason was the plug leads exited on the side of the coil not bottom.

The coils ain't lasting plus their getting harder to find, so i used an automotive coil from a V6 buick.

It uses 3 coils all dual fire plus their a dime a dozen. The coil lasted about 10 minutes before packing

it in. I assume the new coil is a low ohm and the lucas system, being old tec is high ohm.

My question is can i resistor or something the coil outputs on the lucas system to get it

to work with the low ohm coils?

The old bloke died i think.

[will xs 650 motor bolt to a xs500?]

With the motor in frame its a bit hard to measure, but as a rough guide

54 cm high, from bottom mount to top mount

34 cm long, from front mount to rear mount.

hope this helps.
