Hey, so I'm pretty new to the whole motorcycle thing. About two months ago I bout what i was told to be a 1979 xs650 special 2. Bought it from the original owner, had 10k miles on it, the vin checked out with the one printed on the title. today when I went to put the final touches on the carbs I looked in my Haynes manual, and found out that the xs650 is divided into 650 A, B, C etc. So after looking on the sticker next to the vin number I noticed that my motorcycle was actually built in 1978, but i couldnt find anything after the 650cc rating. After doing some research I found that the special 2 from 78 has a very different vin from mine. My vin is 2F02S0601. The website that I found vin number identification is http://www.xs650chopper.com/yamaha-xs650-model-id-table/
All I wanted to do is adjust the floats, but I'm not sure what motorcycle I have. From my research it looks like they all have the same mikuni carb, but one is 25mm and the other is 24mm.
Any help would be appreciated!
