G'day.
Brooks Church here from Westerville, OH
Just picked up a 1975 Yamaha xs650.
17k miles, not too sure what all has been done to it other than paint on the tank, side covers, and wheels. Has some kind of pod filters and some kind of wrapped straight exhaust, and fat man seat. Came with original seat and front fender. Think I will be putting them back on.
First thing is first. It runs, drives, and brakes with no problems. Might be a slight front leak in the tire, but not sure yet. Going to work on the brakes F&R because they don't work so great. Then general maintenance, oil, plugs, clean air pods, lube chain, grease swing arm, new fuel line, new fuel filters (2 petcocks this year), and overall inspection.
Then work on getting parts. Going for a english rocker style cafe, a cafe I can ride ever day. Going to make a new tank, custom side covers (number plates) cafe seat with snap on cover, commando exhaust, Hughes PMA system, Hughes speed bars with solid risers, Hughes oil cooler, Loaded Gun Customs rear sets, and redo or eliminate turn signals and unnecessary tabs.
