I have a 75 XS650B that I plan to use to build a scrambler. I'm new to building bikes and there's a ton of info that I'm having difficulty finding about the specs for a xs650. Some of the info I'm looking for is all interchangeable parts example: the front end. All help would be appreciated. Thanks
1977 Yamaha XS650 with a Motor that has aprox. 8,000 miles. This motor is not original to this bike. This has been taken apart down to the frame and rebuilt with a lot of custom parts. The tank is custom made aluminum and very lightweight. The frame has been shaved down to reduce weight and...
Hi!
Tinkering is in my blood and since my XS now has a front end of a R6, my old setup is available.
I have ran this setup for > 5 years without any issues. I ran it with XS spoked wheels, cast might work, not sure.
It includes the following:
Late XS forks including triple clamps
XS axle...
I just came across this flat tracker on bike exif. It is a moderately modified Ducati Scrambler 800, with a rather loud paint job, possibly inspired by the Britten V1000. It definitely makes me think that a street tracker build on a Scrambler 800 should be very easy to do. Engine wise, the...
I have no idea why I didn't track my build real-time this summer, but better late than never (I suppose) to put my build out here in case it helps someone along the way on theirs. Like everyone, the pandemic shut down a lot of the places I'd socially spend my time - in my case, the biggest...

I guess there are just a few modern, aircooled bikes that somewhat resemble our XSes. W650/800, RE650, Triump aircooled twins, and Ducati Scrambler. The latter being my favorite, due to weight and performance. Here is a report of a hopped up one, from Germany's #1 Ducati tuner...
Hey Guys!
purchased an old tired 1978 xs650 standard about a year and a half ago as my first bike. Used this bike to get my license, and rode it a good amount before getting tied up in other hobbies over the fall/early winter.
after sitting for a few months, and friends making fun of my "POS"...
1981 Scrambler XS 650 work in progress. I rescued this poor bike. The PO was riding it daily, when I got it home I found all the engine mount bolts were no more than hand tight. The engine ran great and the owner before the old PO had modified it somewhat and showered it with love and attention.

Hi,
A year ago I started to look after a bike that I could turn in to a scrambler. My biggest wish was to own a Triumph scrambler or XS 650 but I couldn’t afford it. I started to look into off-road bikes and found a few object, for about €1500, that was in good shape ready to be brutally...
Whats up everybody my name is Red Rooster. Im a long time listener, first time caller! I came up on a 1975 xs650 about a 1 1/2 year ago. Like most, I just wanted to upgrade a couple of things and put this baby on the road but, well, you know how it goes...
