sorry if i am pulling skeletons out of the closet.its been several years since i have had the ole girl out. i finally have a little time and money and i want to ride my 02 fe 650. i need to get my stator rewound and i did manage to find some info on that. (sparks). however i am looking for info on parts to update my topend and bottom end. what needs to be done to make this thing more reliable. where can i obtain these parts. any suggestions? please.

dear oh dear! yes you're right it is a much dragged out subject and one you should really have spent a teeny weeny bit of time researching yourself. you could have made a list of what you think you need for us to look over?

thing is, we've been here all this time while you peed about and your fun. do i deserve to be here in 5 years time or finish because i'm fed up with the same old questions? so you see. i view your question as potentially making my and my mates time hire tiresome - the result of which is that i stop or they do.

latest camchain from '07/08
latest tensioner blade with the pivot screw
buy completely new and updated rocker arms - latest
rocker pins to suit
dual valve spring mod
softer cam from '04 plus
latest de comp bob w/ spring

sparks SEM ignition
selector fork strengthened from '03
complete '03 clutch assembly

if your 200 hours are up then you can go for a better piston from the 470.
replace mains as a necassary precaution - stick to ball-race

we're not sure yet but the '08 has a new bearing and seal system for the water pump that may retro.

check the squish as you disassemble and assess the potential for a longer rod therefore allowing higher compression. in other words if you have a 3mm gap twixt piston and head then you could do with a 1mm longer rod. check the rod length and go from there.

if sparks SEM comes back with your original plastic tubing - -replace for better water sealing.

check inlets for tuliping

convert to keihin FCR

the list is endless

thanks taffy. i did search for about two hours and didn't find what i was looking for. i knew you guys would know this like the back of your hand. i have done the keihin flat slide conversion. these parts are directly interchangeable? i know they changed the 650 a bit. i really do appreciate all of ya'lls infinte wisdom. i have been out of the loop for a while. thank you very much for all and any help you can give. i don't mean to be a bother. i really love this motorcycle. i refused to sell it in times of need, because it rips, well when its running it rips. THANK YOU again for not flaming me for opening another can of worms.
