Many in the XS650 community rephrase their motors from 360 deg to 270 deg.
How do they do that? Do they have to change crankshafts?

If you are used to modern motorcycles I don't think you would like to revisit twins of the past. I recently sold my 1977 XS650 and I can tell you it shakes like the dickens and makes the NT feel vibration free. I am amazed they now sell parallel twins up to 1800CC that are even ridable. Counter balancers are wonderfull things.
Several manufactures offering big twins today,Triumph for one, are now using 270 deg motors to try to simulate the sound of a V twin and give the motor "character".
