Yea That one I have seen ... seems like a ton of work ...
I want to fit this back together and sell it.
Cool.

Mu haha ... car crap ... I have one of those sitting I borrowed from my mechanic.

My idea was to see what car had the same coil size and buy one ... but well I like my magnets on a drum idea for no ...

Oh, if I wind it with 24 guage wire, I probably can get 400 ft+, and prolly 500 turns in and have 10-12 ohm resistance. That would pull down 1 amp and make more magnetism cos its turns X current. May ...

Wish I had the $ to buy a new rotor.
Anyway lets hope this magnets on a drum idea works.
Cool.

Lady's first bike - better off wiht a savage or a GS500.
Better suspension, tires and brakes as well as lighter and less quirky.

Of course tinkering the xs650 has no peer, or is that beer ? close ...

No they wont short pole to pole. The problem is that the inside of that rotor is coated with some type of sheilding. Outside to in magnetism flows just fine, Inside to out it does not.
I believe that ...

Banshee rotor wont work on 82, timing is in the rotor.
I can rewind mine or make from scratch. Of course I'd index and install the magnet for the timing in it.
My choice in any case for the mod will ...

Correct 650skull. And he's not even touched the ignition part.
Though I must say, the welding is done after trenches are cut in the pin and crank cheeks. No reason it cannot be ground again and pulle ...

100% photo chopped.
Cool.

I now see on that other thread that Xsjohn suggested this mod to the stock rotors. Yes ... however the stock rotor is made of some weird ass cast and sintered garbage that machining it could cause you ...

OK so here is the theory.

Buy aluminum - round 4 inch solid 2 inch length was what I bought with 1 phone call.
Then take the rotor off - I have a few spare dead ones one of which I split. And give ...

Oh you can buy a type of wire that is enamelled (obviously needed) and is already epoxy coated at the strand level. The thing is, it will have to be wound, then heated to 400 degrees for a few mins an ...

Yea I did read that, there is 2-3 things that have happened in the last 2 weeks since I started on this crazy project.
OK 22 guage is fine 24 guage will let more windings, less current and more magne ...

Well, the ring magnet isn't going to allow room for winding of any kind.
I calculated 250 ft of 24 guage wire for the original rotor. I dont have a way to stuff even 1/2 that with the magnets cos the ...

Yea I know. I am working on it still. I had some success with that ring mod he mentioned. However it was too $ and too weak. Plus I will not be able to sell it, I'd have to collect your rotor and modi ...

A rephase is a press out job and past that its a little bit of welding and some crank truing work.
I have some equipment I have made for this that is actually easy for anyone to make but the first cr ...

OK why does it not work with a ring magnet and that is a question to just check what you know, so dont have to answer that. I have actually modded the rotor to take that and work too, just more $ and ...

OK so you're saying NAFTA was not a republican Idea ? Or Dole signed it and broke the tie in favor and of course clinton was nailing fat chicks and too horny to care ... so I guess you're saying it wa ...

Off the current topic but John yo ukeep bringing up NAFTA.
Now Nafta went through in the last 2 years of Clinton's administration.
If I recall at that time it was a republican controlled house and s ...

Is there a market for a permanent magnet alternator rotor that is a drop in swap.
Remove old one, put this one on. Fit a suzuki regu/rectifier after doing a wire match. That simple.

Target $ - pos ...

I'd like to add though, I was able to get my crank out and rephased for very cheap. It may be a worthwhile mod. Cams are all that I have not done, and they can be $ or maybe I will figure out a less $ ...

K great.
Cool.

Not in the US ... or atleast not in the numbers of people that actually own a motorcycle. So many bikes I see in people's garages ... have not moved in years. My 82 xs650 with 8K miles is proof.

Mo ...

I see a lot of familiar names on the xs650temp site.
So I guess that is an obvious choice. Other than that is there some other place we could go to.

Thanks to everyone I'll see if I can get myself ...
