Good evening everyone! I realized that I never updated this thread since moving to Tennessee. I unfortunately did sell my XS back in October 2021 prior to moving. I told my wife when I sold it, I would be in the market for another motorcycle come spring. After a lot of research, I am now...

Thanks everyone!

Quick question everyone, Now that the bike is in storage I want to get a ball park figure to do a top end rebuild. Where is the best place to buy gaskets, timing chain, chain guide, etc. Would like to buy everything at once if possible. Thanks, Tim

I recently ordered those boots as it was hard to find non resistor spark plugs

I haven't road one yet, just love the classic style with modern fuel injection. Hope to ride one when I get to TN.

I intend to restore. 1st goal was to make it road worthy and now that I've rode it I really want to keep it going and refresh it. Tim

I told my wife I am in the market for a newer motorcycle also. Something with fuel injection. I have been looking at the Royal Enfield INT650. Tim

No longer for sale.

Well guys and gals, The XS is staying with me. After putting some more love into the bike, i.e. good used rear axle and adjusters I don't think I can part with the girl. It just is a blast to ride. I am hoping to go on a charity ride on the 25th then she will go into storage as I get ready...

$1,400 or best offer.

Thanks @Mailman. Lots going on in background to start the move! Looking forward to warmer weather and way less snow! Tim

Selling my 1978 Yamaha XS650 special. Clean NY title.. Lots of work done to it in the past year, as seen in my thread. Rebuilt carbs, HHB PMA, new tires. Bike runs good. Great bike. Bike will come with extra rotor from Rick's Electronics and all factory electronics that were removed for PMA...

Good evening everyone, I know I said earlier in thread I wouldn't sell my XS650, but I think the time has come as it is some what of a project bike to get 100% and I am most likely moving south. I don't have the time to dedicate to restoring the bike as I planned when I bought it. I would...

Good afternoon everyone! I replaced all the o-rings on the rocker covers, I believe I have fixed the oil leaks as I have not seen any more oil seepage. I also found a free moment to install the rear sissy bar. I think it looks pretty good on the bike! It's the perfect size to hold my...

I believe they both are leaking. I don't see any oil seepage below the head so I believe I fixed that issue when I retorqued the head. I will try flipping the o-ring and rotate the covers and see if this helps. If not, thanks for the McMaster-Carr part #! Tim
