My hobby is buying Mikuni BS CV type carbs, stripping them down, cleaning the components and then selling the parts through fleabay to help other 1970’s and 1980’s Japanese bike enthusiasts like myself. Ive noticed that the majority of Mikuni carb spares for sale are in the US, and while US carb prices are good value, the shipping costs and importation costs to the UK (and Europe etc) are high which makes the parts very expensive when all the costs are totalled up
I stick to Mikuni BS CV type carbs like the BS32, BS34, BS36 and BS38 types, and these include the two types (38 and 34) used on the Yamaha 650 XS1 through XS650K models.
I've used the online Partzilla.com website to view all the carb specs for the 1970 to 1983 650 model years, and over a period of a few weeks made an Excel (xls) spreadsheet which Travis has kindly uploaded for me so that others can download it
My spreadsheet has 2 tabs
The first tab shows the individual listing (over 850 total) in description alphabetical order of all carb items for models XS1 through XS650K, and there are filters in row 1 to help users quickly find the part they are looking for
The second tab has around 250 rows with a row for a specific carb part (description and part number), along with a table showing which models the part was used on. This should help people quickly find out if a similar part (with the same part number) from another model year will fit their bike
I thought this spreadsheet would be helpful to the XS650 community so Im posting it here as Travis suggested. I did find a few errors, and also some missing items, in the Partzilla online carb part diagrams. I've tried my best to make sure that all the information in my spreadsheet is accurate, but I apologise if there are any errors in my spreadsheet. If anyone does find an error, please let me know so I can fix it
For non-US based XS650 enthusiasts, I hope to offer quality, cleaned XS650 carb parts at attractive prices to help you keep your bikes running. My fleabay seller name is “mikuni-man” so if you're say living in Europe and need some XS650 carb parts, please check the Mikuni carb items I have for sale. I currently have around 300 listings
Regards,
