What Year is this XS650? Looks like a 76' XS650C, but in Red, not French Blue

Hi, The colours per year are listed on a Wickepedia page, just do a search for Yamaha XS650 and it should be found. I can find my printed page if needed. The Yamaha paint code is SGM OOT4 for Spruce green. 1978 only. I havn't been able to locate any paint yet. One of the companies said they could mix some if I sent a panel as sample. Shan't be doing that even though I need some touch up. Regards.

Yeah I have a body shop buddy with paint "chips", but no "Yamaha Spruce Green" part to use as a match.

I was the one who told Al how to invent the internet.

Hi gggGary, I have had good advice from you before and glad I didn't ignore it.
Whatare you like on small block Guzzis, my other pastime.

Always liked the looks of Guzzis. Would buy a liter bike if the right one fell in my lap, that's all I know about em.
