    Wanted - Xs650 tank channels

    Some Yamahas are reversed where what you are looking for is on the tank instead of the frame. I think I found a cheap 850 tank on eBay and cut them off that. They were the same size as the xs650, although $29.00 sounds like a cheap solution to me.

    Wanted - Wanted ‘70- ‘72 Gas tank

    Mr. Standard, $1500.00 is insane. I see you're in L.A. Is that http://gastanklining.com// If so, they are really good. I had one tank done by them for $400.00. Here's another company that is good too. http://www.gas-tank.com/

    Kick Start Assembly

    I'd like to add another thought to this post as I've been working on my xs over the holiday break. This post initially started with the manual kick start lever. I was having an issue with it not turning. When I pull the clutch lever in the engine kicks over, pistons are moving etc. If I put the...

    Kick Start Assembly

    Thank you 5 twins. When the assembly seats properly should the assembly gear be flush with the gear it mates to in the case. Mine is slightly offset.

    Kick Start Assembly

    Hello Guys, Been struggling with the kick start assembly on my 1980 xs. There's a very good video on YouTube that I watched and the guy makes it look super easy. Not so much for me. I understand there is the cam, the looped pin that fits into the case slot and the spring. After several attempts...

    Relay Question

    Hello xs Community, This has come up before and I've read several posts and still not sure. My question is regarding what Hugh Owning means in the diagram for the white/red wire from Relay 85.

    Solenoid question to enoid the smart guys

    Hello xs650 community, If my bike is a kick start only bike, do I need a solenoid? Or maybe the better question is... Is there a benefit to having a solenoid with a kick start only bike? Thank you

    Hughs hand built PMA wiring diagram

    Dxs650, Did your figure this out? I agree with you the instructions are confusing. I figured out the stator wiring and now trying to figure out what you have brought up. I thought one glass of wine would give me some clarity but it didn't. Then I tried two and it got even worse.

    Sold / Found / Inactive - 1981 XS650 in Springfield Ohio $3500

    This is a beauty and if I didn't already have five xs650's I'd been interested. It's sad that these wonderful bikes and worth much more. My current 1980 build will have about 8K in it but I'll never get that price for it, ha! Oh look, I still have wine in my glass.
