Seen them but all of them the wrong side - I have the left side and looking for the right side-bracket....I did buy two of them earlier when I didn't know they are different from side to side...but I'll keep looking...Thanks!
I guess the mixed models came at the end of production years and the "original" parts are all gone - so they mix older and newer parts to get a complete bike...I guess mine was the same - was built late 1971 but recorded as a 1972...strange that they changed the color to candy red but the rest...
So my XS2 is really a XS1B but sold as XS2 in 1972 and with the candy red and white paint....XS1B should have the golden paint job...so I guess my bike is a strange mix of models...
an XS2 but with no starter motor and with the XS1 front end with drumbrake...???
Seems like Yamaha took what they had on the shelfs when they put the bikes together...The strange thing with my XS2 is that the engine is a none-starter engine but the engine number is from 1972....first year with the starter motor...??
Yes - same thing happened to me....I have a 1972 XS2 but the engine is a XS1 engine (no starter motor), the paint is candy read/white and the front end has the drum brake like XS1 and XS1B....everything else on the bike is XS1 like the handcontrols....but the registration number says...
Hornbutton grounds the horn - positive from fuse to horn and negative cable to horn button....
So from fuse 3 ----> horn and from negative side of horn to the horn-button....
