Does anyone know if there is a difference in the motors of the b and the se models? I'm specifically concerned with exhaust ports on a '79. Are they the same sizes? Thanks for any thoughts you can provide.

She was an Iowa farm girl, The Weathervane Man had her parked in the garage behind this truck, After a tour of his projects and some interesting tales she came home with me. That was last summer and a couple of weeks ago "weathervane" went up on the lift. So like me this thread is going to...

Hello all from Australia - this is my first posting. I have just come by my first 650 - guess you could call it a "barn find". From your XS650 model pdf I think it is a TX650 US model that has had an engine transplant sometime in the past.The frame no is S650-211462 and the engine no is...

I have recently bought a XS650B VIN number 447127757. This bike was imported from America to Australia sometime in 2013. I am trying to trace a bit of history and was wondering if anyone can help me with this. Thanks Rex

All 4 are the same.

I am about to purchase a Pamco kit and need to determine what model engine I have. I checked the ID chart posted by Inxs and here is what I think is correct. VIN: 2FO-162687, that should make it a 79 Special frame. Engine Model: 447-203200, that should make it a 75-76 XS-C engine. Did I...

There's regional differences between same year XS650's. For instance, US model Heritage Specials have megaspoke wire wheels while Canadian model Heritage Specials have 7-spoke cast wheels. And as I understand it Euro-bikes all have two front disks while North Americans have to make do with...

Owner asking $950. I have no idea what year or model. All the pictures I can find has the front caliper cyl on the back side of the fork. This model has it in front of the fork. Thanks for any help,eh? Brad

For those of you who are familiar with the Heritage Special model, Is it common on this model XS650SK for the engine and frame numbers to be different? To the best of my knowledge this was the last model of the XS650 range and the Yamaha factory used up all the parts they had left over from the...

Leo posted this:- The wiring varied a lot over the years. The colors not so much but they added a few things over the years that make it hard to be real specific. It's nice to know what year, model and any mods done to the bike. If you look below where I'm writing you will see my signature...

I Have a 74TXA Cinnamon Brown. Not the original color though. Come across an original paint Cinnamon Brown 74TXA, the paint on top of the tank has some fading but this is the best one i have seen a pic of. Every one has there favorite color scheme, and i am no different but i have found...

Here is a bit of history before I get into the actual question. I purchased a 1980 XS that had been stored in a shed since aprox 1990. The story goes that the original engine blew up and the guy bought an engine that had less than 1k miles on it and put it in but never could get any spark. I...

I got this idea from a similar thread over at the SOHC4 forums. Post up pics and, when possible, opinions or reviews of different exhaust systems, past and present. I'll start with a few that I've personally used. MikesXS head pipes and eBay Dunstall replica pipes. Ran great, but I was...

Hello there! I'm new to the site so first off my name is Jeremy an I've been reading up on this site for months now and figured it was time to register and say hi. I live in Ontario Canada, and have been building a hardtail Yamaha xs 650 for the last few months and I've got to the point of...

I've had a '74-75 tank before, and I have one for the current project. However, the bike I'm working on now has some subtle differences. It's definitely a '75. Maybe a late production '75? For example, all the '75 gas tanks I've seen have a cap like this: But the current bike has a later...

I'm working on restoring a set of Pentagram wheels. They came off an XS500 and that bike seems to have been converted from drum to disc. I have all the stuff to swap in a disc brake swing arm, but the more I look at this stuff, the more it appears I could use it with my drum brake swing arm...

I know I got an XS650 But I want to find out the most I can about it. I am ready to start buying parts for it but there is a lot of letters and numbers that are next to the parts when it comes to fitting specific models. The VIN is 3G0003010 Can anyone help me find out the exact model of XS...

Can anyone provide me a part number or source of buying a new pan head countersunk screw that goes into the shaft base of the starter bendix? pics below... thanks guys!
