I picked this up as a trade... I'll get a pic up soon, I'd like to find out what bike it's from so that I can sell it.

19" front disc wheel
40 wire spokes
4-bolt brake rotor
 
Well, yeah, I established that, every other wheel I've seen has a 6-bolt rotor. That's why I'd like to find out if it's even a Yamaha wheel or from another make. I'll get some pics up tomorrow.
 
The xs650 used 36 spoke 6 bolt sprockets on the earlier years. First couple has steel chrome rims. In 79 they had an alloy 16 inch on the rear with drum brakes. In 82 they went with a 48 spoke rear and a 64 spoke front wheel.
Yamaha never put a disc brake spoked wheel on the rear of an XS650.
In the middle they used both a drum and disc brake rear mag with a mag up front.
