Hello Everyone, Many of you with an XS2 will know that the starter lever on the throttle side also acts as a decompressor when actuated to start the engine. I need to re establish the setting on my bike is there any special procedure or measurements when adjusting the cable? Thanks Bob

If you're not in it you can't win it!! Fantastic offer!!

Hi 650 Skull, Amazing 33,800 worldwide! Hard to believe only 50 off came to the uk. I suppose for example if 500 were sold in each of the USA states that would account for quite a number, & then the balance to the rest of world??? Mine is now Mot'd & on the road, just need some decent weather now!

At last a pic of my XS2!

Hi, Mine is an XS2 going from the S.N. list. I have a picture how the hell do you upload?? Cheers Bob

Thanks everyone for your replies. I will try & post some pics. The uk log book does say 1973, but it is conceiveable it was actually built in 1972. Some of the detail that could possibly identify it as an xs2 * small black headlamp switch * screw on yamaha tank badges * front single disc...

HELLO EVERYONE, I'M NEW TO THE FORUM. I OWN A 1973 GENUINE UK XS2. OBTAINING PRODUCTION INFORMATION & IMPORT NUMBERS FOR THE UK IS LIKE EXTRACTING TEETH! IT IS EQUALLY DIFFICULT TO FIND OUT HOW MANY REMAIN REGISTERED. I HAVE TRIED "HOW MANY LEFT.COM" & THERE WAS NO INFORMATION. I HAVE...
