hello everyone,
i just baught a used Vstar 650,2003 super clean and i love it.this engine reminds me of my old XS650 that i add decades ago .at 90-100 kmh it run like a clock.i used to have an envil,,GoldWing 1200 so the Vstar is way lighter but no wind protection so i baught one of these small windshield and it is good but not much.the other windshield are way to pricey for my retired budget,,,400,500 $ is way to much .
now i will change the clutch spring(known problem) and will see.
Ride safe,Ride slow!

Greetings @Gervais Fillion, welcome to the forum. So do you still ride the XS650?

No Alan but i owned 2 of them.one 1971 and one 1 ,1977 .The torque is similar with the Vstar 650 .On my 71 i add a Jardine 2 into 1 and it add a beautiful sound,,,,to bad we dont have such exhaust ( 2 into 1) for the Vstar !
