    It would be a day of driving, unfortunately. But I'm open to searching for a solution to that problem

    Yes, I do. I also don't understand Automan's reply.

    Selling my 1980 Yamaha XS650 - $2000 Mileage: 8354 In remarkably good shape. The engine case was custom engraved by a previous owner (he was a jeweler). I bought this as a project while completing my PhD. It's been great, taken this bike on two 300 mile trips with few issues. Pretty soon I'll be...

    What have you done to your XS today?

    5twins, First of all, I'm a huge fan. I've owned my xs650 for 2 months and you have saved my hide more than a few times. Second, you're obviously right. I didn't notice any of the issues you pointed out. I'll put it in proper order. Thank you for taking a look, I really appreciate it!

    What have you done to your XS today?

    Today I just advanced the timing on my PAMCO. Now the TDC line on the rotor properly hits the F-mark. However I noticed when I rev to 3000k rpm, it doesn't advance. It only advances around 4500rpm. Don't really know how to proceed.

    Thanks so much for the wisdom. I was getting excited, but waiting to find a less modified 650 is probably my best move. This is going to be a side project while I'm in grad school and I think @Machine is right. I will have a more satisfying experience if I don't have to undo sloppy work. Is...

    Hello All, I have been contemplating getting an XS650 and exploring this forum for the past few months now. I have been drooling over this one posted on Craigslist (https://richmond.craigslist.org/mcy/d/henrico-81-yamaha-xs-650/7333443130.html). I have no clue if this is a fair price or the...
