Hi Burley, Check out the "Tech" section at the top of the page and scroll down to: XS650 wiring diagrams: "some wiring diagrams"

You will also need the woodruff key for the flywheel. Yamaha part 90280-05033 is good.

You must use the YFZ350 Banshee flywheel.

Was not condoning use of knurling, just showing what it was and what it did etc. Never done it and it always sounded a bit shit to me. Great info, thanks all. I had also been planning on using those stainless valves and you have just saved me $100 and a massive headache!

8mm Guide knurler here if interested: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/K-line-8mm-Valve-Guide-Knurler-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem335d54ac2dQQitemZ220609162285QQptZLHQ5fDefaultDomainQ5f100#ht_500wt_956 Hope it helps. Edit:

Jayel, thanks for the blast from the past, I remember buying that issue:D. That article must have made a massive impression on me as I have been hooked ever since! Wonder if any of those motors/bikes are still with us?.

KTM Part # seems to be 49111435100 for capacitor and the bracket is a seperate # 54511048000 Check here: http://www.speedaway.co.uk/part/1017805/222-1017805-49111435100-condensator-25v-10000-mf Couple on E'bay or...... electronic store will have one that works for about $5 maybe?? Hope this...

majikman, you've mixed up the S650 and 447 VIN's. :wink2:

Hi Brett, welcome to another UK guy. Sounds like a good project you have started there with a bit of a twist on the Commando front. Like to know how you get on with the 5th gear as have been thinking about doing this myself.

Skull. Hope it passes quickly, with as little damage as possible. Just what you needed eh! Good luck on what you have to leave behind.

Both E'bay shops for "rmstatorinc" and "zeig2" had the plain bracket for $25 shipped but neither seem to have any listed at the moment. Might be worth keeping an eye on their shops as its a painless way of getting them IMO (got 3 myself from Zieg so can vouch for their service).

Couple of petcocks here. Important dimension is the hole centres on tank. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1977-Yamaha-XS-750-gas-tank-petcocks-2-right-left-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem35af985d9cQQitemZ230579264924QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories Also part numbers here (not...

Hi XS1961. Do you want a good one or just an old one to play about with? Have 3 hanging about and can check condition tomorrow (I know are in bottom box of a 5 foot pile!). What cost you looking at? There's always yuni's but I guess you know that as they're down the road, eh.

Yeah, I saw this too, like its different look. What is happening with the rear brake? looks like no caliper or am i missing something?
