you'll want to pick up a couple of extra 10 mm wrenches and sockets
You should be just fine. I have a spare set with the same bowls. So long as the jets and needles are right for your model.
I had a rough week at work a few weeks ago. I was talking about it with my wife and she suggested I buy a new project bike.
I had a really ugly set of carbs with that same passage blocked on all four bowls. I alternated 1 hour in Berryman's with 15 minutes ultrasonic....
I wired one onto a different bike. Use a relay so the larger power draw isn't going through the switch and it will work fine. Reputable brands...
Try Bing Chat. It includes reference links to the source material.
Yes. But, if you're not concerned with maintaining authenticity, there are aftermarket kits worth looking at.
How's compression on the cylinders?
You lose the original look, but I found bar-end mirrors work very well for me. Otherwise, best extenders I've found only add a couple of inches.
The tach and speedo aren't designed to be taken apart. It can be done, but requires patience and care. I did it on a 1980 Honda. After pulling the...

Metzeler Roadtec 01, which can be used with or without tubes. It's possible that it was never fully seated, complicated by the rim design.
That article is specific to car tires. I've never seen tube tires for street bikes. The cast wheels for the xj650r are designed for tubes or not,...

I'm looking to get a 650 Seca seat cowling printed up for my extra seat pan. Before I try to build the STL file, I thought I'd reach out to see if...

When I took off my front end, I used a large chink of styrofoam I got at the recycling center. Easily cuts down to whatever height you need and it...
There are locksmiths on eBay that will make your key if you send them the keycode. I ordered two that way and they work just fine.
I went through two iPhone cameras (luckily under warranty) before deciding a new Garmin Zumo XT made more sense. No regrets at all.
I've often been tempted to make the same mod. I did it with my fjr1300, since the battery is hard to reach, and it works great. Used heavy enough...
Not a mechanical solution, but Voltaren works well for me with arthritis in my hands.
So, I've got big, arthritic hands and on fjr1300 I had a hard time getting a secure enough grip to adjust the headlights. So, I made myself a...

That depends on whether the "82 650" is followed by "Seca" or not.
I doubt anyone here has ever installed that same one you bought and "cheap Chinese" don't come with model-specific installation instructions, so...
