model id

Whats up guys. Purchased a xs650 and need to figure out the model before making adjustments. Engine number is 447 100707. I tried looking for it on the charts but cant seem to make a match.

Are these original turn signals or after market? I'm talking about in the first couple seconds with the motorcycle. LinkLinkLink

Can anyone tell me your experiences with getting an insurance co. to accept the 10 digit vin from my bike. its a 72 and reads S650-114XXX etc. and the ins. office doesn't know what to do with it because their system only recognizes the 17 digits I assume.

Does anyone how many 1972 XS2's were produced?

I ran across this site recently and was just curious if anyone had any experiences with this company..... i found a few reviews online that were decent but were really old.... people were saying it was around 250 to get a new title in there name... and that's alot cheaper than...

I potentially have a very dumb question, I just bought a xs to build, its already partially there, but this next week ill be doing some more work to it when I return home. Right now im trying to do some parts ordering and I need a headlight, wanting to put a bullet or frisco style light...

Maybe this is in the wrong slot but I'm going to try it anyway. Does anyone know what year model had the largest production run, just curious.

Hey all, I have been looking for some info on my engines serial number, I did some searching on the internet and found out that it should be in front of the crankcase on the right side by the motor mount. But all I see is the number "447" stamped on it, is this the serial number or should...

From the Wrenchmonkees "XS for Paris" build: Looks like the lower of the two mounts has been modified, but I'm very interested to know what the originals came off of.

Found this one locally. Advertised as a 78 xs400? Looks like a 650 to me. How can you tell?

Hello new to the forum. I just purchased a complete lower end unit with attached Con Rods. The Engine numbers are S650-209031 and the Con Rods are cast with the numbers 447. I am not that familiar with XS650's but would like to build a street tracker beginning with this unit. Could someone tell...

Got a lead on a xj650 1981... I'm not familiar with this model. Is it worth it? Cool bike??? I told him 1200. Too much? Thanks guys!

Is the any common fuel tank swaps for xs's around? I remember seeing one with a GT80 tank maybe? Something with little or no modifications? On which years are these done? Edit: Maybe we could have a "common swap" thread? Anything, shocks, forks, wheels, seats? Thanks fellas Chris

This may be a long shot but could anybody recognize if these pipes fit an XS650 I bought them in a basket case of other xs650 parts and was told they were for it but I wanted to be certain. Anything helps....thanks!

S650-011824, I bought it anyway ;-) First thing I need to do is to remove the sissy and roll bars... Here she is after a quick hose down: :D:bike::D

Everyone tells me I don't have enough numbers/letters in my VIN. The tag on the neck says vehicle ID number 4M4-004507. The same is stamped into the metal in the neck and the front lower part of the motor. It' supposed to be an '80 model. Anyone have an idea of what I have?

Hello, Although not new to vehicle restoration, going to start my first cycle project. Just aquired what I believe to be based upon the frame number 447-007XXX, gas tank, covers, and passenger pegs a 1974 TX650A. The engine number though is 447-715XXX and based upon the linked BS38 carbs is...
