*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.

*Left-side front disk brake (omitted on North American models only) can be added by bolting another disk to the left side of the wheel (the bolt holes are there) and the left-side [[caliper]] from an [[Yamaha XS750|XS750]], [[Yamaha XS850|XS850]] or [[Yamaha XS1100|XS11]] (the fork lugs are there) and adding the other brake line & a double-length banjo bolt. XS650 stock [[master cylinder]] still works. The system needs very careful bleeding, stainless steel wire braid hoses improve the feel. | *Left-side front disk brake (omitted on North American models only) can be added by bolting another disk to the left side of the wheel (the bolt holes are there) and the left-side [[caliper]] from an [[Yamaha XS750|XS750]], [[Yamaha XS850|XS850]] or [[Yamaha XS1100|XS11]] (the fork lugs are there) and adding the other brake line & a double-length banjo bolt.
