Dragstar 650 top speed
seriously she clocked out and a bit, it was on the M6 with my mrs following in the car, its common knowledge that speedo's are over clocked on speed, OOO just realized that if dejaveuagain is clocking 80 tops thats not good news as its prob in the region of 75, could be worth balancing the carbs or loosing a few stone only kidding x

Take the other keys off your keyring, otherwise they'll swing back and forth as you ride and scratch your tank paintwork to buggery. +1 on that ...

Advice needed, xvs 650 running.
guys thanks for your input, i've cured it, and you wont believe what it was, i could write a long list of things i tried, i replaced everything, was about to pull the heads off as a last resort, and thought i would put the air filter on just to humour myself, and FOOK ME it cured it i had cleaned all the jets and totally stripped the carbs as initially it was a blocked main jet, started it up and was still the same why didnt i do that 3 bloody weeks ago, so cards behind the bar guys fill ya boots

Advice needed, xvs 650 running.
replaced pick up coil with genuine yamaha, its deffo not the fueling, pump, carbs etc as i have taken the bits off a good one and it's still the same, even spraying fuel direct into the venturi's has no effect, i'm sure its electrical, swopped coils, cdi unit, pick up, plugs, kill switch, sidestand switch, clutch switch, this one has got me .

the tank breather hose is under the clocks, you should have 2 plugs ( one for instruments one for illumination ) speedo cable and a hose that goes on the vent from the tank ( breather )
