Another Rephased Engine - For an XS650.com member.


277 Rephase, stock bore, stock head, Mikuni VM 34MM Roundslide Carbs, Stock Headpipes, Pamcopete Ignition XS1 Camshaft. 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.

  3. Yep, Pamcopete ignition only uses 3 wires, and then I just hooked a battery to it. Super simple....

  5. Then I am no help to you.... Ditch that junk, go with the PMA Charging system and a Pamcopete ignition. I have NEVER been able to get a stock charging system working properly long term.

  7. Yeah, sorry man. That stock stuff is a Nightmare to wire up... I'm a fan of "Less Is More" when it comes to wiring. This engine ran with only 2 wires hooked up...
