Mike “Mercury” Morse writes further …

Piston/ ring/wrist pin package is 11 grams lighter than a stock 650. They are sized at 79.99mm, to allow for potential honing of existing cylinders. Reduced headland for more power and better emissions, allowed by a truly complimentary squish band. (A true 10.5:1 is achieved)( to be verified). Modern ring package has 1mm top and 1.2mm 2nd ring, with a 2mm 3 piece oil ring. Connecting rod is 145mm c-c, achieving a 1.96:1 rod/stroke ratio, moving the torque peak up in the power band, smoothing the short rod’s explosive midrange, increasing traction and peak power. Small end is bushed with premium C630 aluminum bronze and has 10% more area. Big end bearing has 3.5mm rollers for less skating at high speed.

XS650: 650 Central Sump Extensions   Leave a comment

650 Central has started producing a sump extension kit. MCEN40-2750. You wont find it listed yet.  A serious performance modification. 2 3/4″ deep (69.85mm).
Lowers the oil level freeing up the flywheels and clutch basket. Less flywheel drag implies better dyno numbers and lower oil temps.

Kit price … $135.

  • extension-(cast for better heat dissipation),
  • SS bolts
  • 2 gaskets
