SOLD, thanks for looking!
This bike is not perfect. This is a very clean, excellent running XS650.
Local pickup only, NE Ohio
Many thanks to 650 Central and MikesXS for guidance, tools, and parts.
$2975 (revised 3/30). Offers considered. Many ads for vintage motorcycles often include a list of what is needed to get it running for the summer, or list it as a project bike. This bike is neither. It's ready to ride. Over $4000 (revised) invested, it's easy to do. That said, this bike is thirty-seven years (37) old. This bike is for someone who enjoys older bikes, and is a "do-it-yourselfer". This project was completed two years ago. 600-700 miles were put on the bike since completion.
Engine: rebuilt top end. .020 over, valve grind, new timing chain and tensioner.
Fuel system: New tank, new petcocks, rebuilt carbs including new floats, K & N air filters.
Electrical: Boyer Brandsen Electronic Ignition, Solid State Voltage regulator conversion, new alternator brushes, new wiring harness, new AGM battery (3/4/16).
Chassis: New front and rear wheel bearings, bronze swing arm bushings, steering head ball bearings replaced with tapered roller bearings.
Suspension: Front forks rebuild with new Progressive springs, Gold Valve fork cartridge emulators, new seals. Longer than stock 13.5" Progressive Magnum gas shocks with new springs. This combination of makes this a nice riding and handling bike.
Brakes: rebuilt master cylinder and caliper, new pads and shoes
Tires: New Dunlop 404 tires and new tubes, wheels trued, assemblies balanced.
New: Chain and sprockets.
Exhaust is stock. I had the head pipes blasted and ceramic coated.
Fresh oil change and a fresh tank of gas 3/5/16.
The faring is a OEM Yamaha accessory. I have the windshield, but never installed it.
No test rides. I'll take you for a ride, or you can watch me ride it.
Cash only. As is, no warranties expressed or implied. All sales final.
Call me at three three zero 454 one two two nine.
Key words: Yamaha, 650, XS650, standard, Standard, 650XS, 1979, '79, not a 650 Special, Mikes XS, 650 Central,
