Jimbo's Shed Built Yamaha XS650 Hardtail

Jimbo bought his XS a few years back and has been customising it ever since. Recently he had a revelation and decided to switch styles and embarked on ditching the XS’ rear suspension and converting it into a hardtail. It's already looking the part with a large amount of work and components from different suppliers (listed below), and a bunch of eBay buys. We're excited to see the progress continue, if only he'd stop moaning about his new found back-ache!

Reminds me of my 82 Xj750 bobber/Cafe build. Hearing it scream to 9,000rpm is truly insane. Most think it's a modded HD, until it flies past them screaming like a banshee at that RPM. Hardtail converted and everything. Shaft drive instant power. True neck snapper.

Had an XS650, it was lovely to ride and good for grin making ! Its a great looking engine and solid as. Unfortunately this one was a wanker. You know how some machines just seem to have a malevolent spirit and never work properly for long before something else breaks. Stripped the engine, rewired the whole bike and spent ages on it but it was never a reliable bike. My last view of it was laid down on a trailer off to annoy a new owner, seemed fitting !

@domonkosbatai8621 5 жыл бұрын

Iron Jim What do you use to clear bare metal? I heard that it will rust under the clear if I put it on directly to the bare metal. Any suggestions what to use bc I would like the bare metal look without rust on my own bike.

@dannyb20vtec28 5 жыл бұрын

Domonkos Bátai a powder coated clear is a lot tougher than a paint clear.. that helps. But it eventually will start to rust in the future..

One question, did you have to run baffles or lollipops with that exhaust? I'm thinking of getting em for my 75 xs but I'm not sure if I'll need baffles or not. I don't care about performance but I don't want any issues with harmonic inversion or whatever it is

I've been meaning to ask. How do people get a bike like this through the MOT in England? The situation in the Czech Republic is a really sad one even with proper customs. Do they just not care for these old bikes at the MOT?

@d.o.g8597 6 жыл бұрын

Vít Jakeš you find a deaf MOT tester ;) Or you put on normal pipes ans then take them off Or you make friends with the MOT tester

@eddiecaplan1908 6 жыл бұрын

Back in the late 1980s, in england, when it was mot time, you would put the standard exhausts on the bike, then when you had the certificate, off they came, then you fitted your short open drag pipes, open carbs, or k&n filters, rejetted carbs etc, so you were ^street legal😀^, for the next twelve months!!!

We all do what we can. Not everyone has the tools, the training or the space to build engines and weld frames. What Jimbo has done is made the bike his own, but whatever means he could, sometimes on his own, and sometimes with help.

makemoneyrelax Yamaha sucks? Yamaha makes great motorcycles, the vintage Yamaha xs650 is a bad ass bike. If you can’t respect other builds besides Harley’s your not a true enthusiast.. the xs650 was legit called the triumph killer back in the 70s .. they are bad ass chops. And are fun as hell.. what do you ride?
