*Standard rear tire is 110/90-18. Special rear tire is 130/90-16. Because the Standard tire is narrower it corners quicker. Because the Special tire is wider it's steadier in a straight line. Overall gearing will not change as the two tires are essentially the same outside diameter. | *Standard rear tire is 110/90-18. Special rear tire is 130/90-16.

XS650 stock master cylinder still works. The system needs very careful bleeding, stainless steel wire braid hoses improve the feel. | ||
Standard (large) and Special (small)gas tanks interchange but must keep their own gas caps because they are different. | Standard (large) and Special (small)gas tanks interchange but must keep their own gas caps because they are different. | ||
Mid-'77 the front forks had a major redesign, fork tube diameter increased from 34 to 35 mm, brake totally different, internals upgraded. The entire fork will swap either way but fork parts are not equivalent. | Mid-'77 the front forks had a major redesign, fork tube diameter increased from 34 to 35 mm, brake totally different, internals upgraded.
