For Sale - Selling my 3 XS650s --- $2,000 each - OR - buy 2 get 1 free, all 3 for $4,000!

[xsp_fan]

I'm selling my 3 XS650 Specials. All 3 have low miles and are in very good to excellent condition, start immediately, and run well. All have been stored in a garage. I have much more money invested in each of the bikes than I am selling them for. My loss is your gain! See details below.

1) 1981 XS650 Special, $2,000. I spent $5,400 on a full rebuild (invoice provided).
Black, stock, about 5,000 miles, original cast aluminum wheels, front and rear disk brakes, center and lateral stands, complete engine rebuild with new pistons, cam chain bearings and guide, new drive chain, new front master cylinder and stainless steel brake line, new brake pads, new handlebar switches, powder coated cylinder block and head, resin-coated gas tank, sissy bar. New battery, new Michelin Commander tires. Road-ready, ride it home!

2) 1981 XS650 Special II, $2,000.
Maroon, stock, about 13,400 miles, original spike wheels, front disk brake and rear drum brake. ONE ORIGINAL OWNER. New battery and new Dunlop tires and tubes. Original owner's manual. Bill of sale from GA (GA doesn't title vehicles manufactured before the year 2000). I bought this bike and never had time to ride or register it because I was too busy with work. I can title it in MA if you prefer. Road-ready, ride it home!

3) 1979 XS650 Special, $2,000.
Blue, performance kit, about 5,000 miles, original cast aluminum wheels, front and rear disk brakes. Performance kit including larger Mikuni carburetors (the original ones will come with the bike). New battery, new Michelin Commander tires, new front master cylinder. Spare parts come with the bike, including a new seat and the original carburetors. Needs a rebuild of the front caliper and a new left petcock.

I AM SELLING EACH OF THESE BIKES FOR $2,000 FIRM, OR ALL 3 FOR $4,000.

I can deliver within 40 miles of Boston, or I can help load the bike for pick-up by a transporter of your choosing. Reach out for more info and to see them (FaceTime or in person).

$2,000 each -- OR -- buy 2 get 1 free, all 3 for $4,000.

I can arrange shipping if needed but I'd prefer you to pick them up in Boston MA. I am an individual selling my personal bike collection, not a dealer.

Tidy looking bikes. Good deal.

The maroon bike is an 81SII. Major visable changes between 80 and 81SII's

Seat, gauges, tail/brake light/rear guard,

It was manufactured in 1980 though, per the photo below?

Model production run, spans 2 years from August - July

10/80 is an 81.

Read the ID thread posted in the Tech Menu, also stickied in the garage. Pics of every model you can check your bike against.

Would post the link but my phone won't copy and past the link for some reason

Confirmed and updated the ad (also added each bike's exact mileage). Thanks for the info!

Did you sell these bikes?

I sold the maroon one.

I am interested in the blue 1979 XS650. Any chance you could swap out the alloy wheels with the black bike and install the wire laced wheels on the 79?

 

[xsp_fan]

Hi, thank you for your message. I did sell the maroon/red bike (that had wire wheels). However, I still have the blue and the black ones and I'm looking to sell them. Would you be interested?

 

[Retep]

I am interested. I am in Virginia, where are you located? If possible, could you post a video of the bike starting and idling?

I can do that, yes. Will post asap.

So, I tried to start the bike. It had not run in a few months. The float in the left carb is stuck, which causes gas to leak and the engine is flooded. I'll remove the spark plugs to let the gas evaporate, but I don't think the engine will run normally without opening the carb to clean the inside and reset the float. I know the engine does work, though, as it ran flawlessly last time I started it. I'm going to try to fix the problem and shoot the video. Sorry for the delay.

I have a bunch of spare parts for the bike, including the original carbs, a spare seat, the original tool set, the user manual, the shop manual, a new front caliper (original Yamaha part), and full documentation of the history of the bike. It belonged to a Yamaha mechanic who lived in Florida and he documented the details of everything he did.

More later.

 

[Retep]

Thank you

So... After a closer look, the floater in the left carb is is definitely stuck. I'm going to buy 2 carb rebuild kits for both Mikunis, clean and rebuild them. That should fix the issue. More later.

 

[Retep]

Are you in Boston?

 

[xsp_fan]

Yes, I live in Boston. I'd like to speak with you, can we chat sometime?

 

[xsp_fan]

I bought a carb rebuild kit and will get to it as soon as the parts come in. I am prepared to sell you both my XS650s at bargain basement prices. They have to go. Let me know.

 

[Retep]

I only want the blue XS650. I would like to see a video of it starting and idling. I am in eastern Virginia and would have to have the bike shipped. What is your best price?

What is your best price?

Not to butt in where I don't belong... but these types of questions are best asked in a PM, eh?

Oops. Yes, thank you!
