Yamaha XS tech info




Yamaha XS description
I started a new project and need some garage space. I'll be sad to see this one go, it is fun to ride and excellent garage art. This is a '77 XS650 that is very well done as a Tracker. The tank has been coated with Caswell tank liner so today's gas won't destroy the fiberglass. The motor was disassembled and checked about 2 years and maybe 500 miles ago. The top end got a valve job and rings, other than that, all was good. The carbs were rebuilt with Canadian spec kits, the frame was painted with GM silver Dupont paint and most tabs removed. The bodywork was professionally painted and I'd say is show quality or very close to it. I rode without a front fender for a while but found I needed one so an RZ350 fender was added. The wheels were powder coated and the calipers were polished along with side cases and other bits. The rear brake was converted to a disc and works great. The forks were rebuilt and reservoir shocks were added. I do not run a speedometer or electric start on the bike but they would be easy to add. I do have the speedo drive and starter that will come with the purchase. There is a lot of money in this bike and it is built very well. Shipping expenses are the buyer's responsibility. I can deliver to Forward Air or Federal if needed. The title is clear, in my name and registration is current. A $500 deposit is due at close of auction and balance due within 7 days.
Update: I have this bike listed for sale locally and have had some decent interest. If it has no bids I may sell it and end the auction early. I am adding a "Buy It Now" price = to what I have it listed for locally. |

Last Year’s Surprise Podium Finisher Katsuyuki Nakasuga to Wild Card at Japanese GP
Fri, 23 Aug 2013Katsuyuki Nakasuga, the surprise podium finisher at last year’s MotoGP finale in Valencia, will have the chance to catch lightning in a bottle once again, after being granted a wild card entry to the 2013 Japanese Grand Prix at Motegi. Nakasuga shocked the racing world with a second-place finish at the Valencian Grand Prix last November as an injury replacement for then-Yamaha factory rider Ben Spies. Nakasuga made the cagey decision to run slick tires in the wet race.
Callaway Builds Motorcycle Engine
Thu, 20 Nov 2008Callaway is a name that has become synonymous with Corvettes over the years, and with good reason. However, in addition to unleashing the power of America’s legendary sports car, Reeves Callaway has also done technical and engineering consulting for motorcycle companies such as Yamaha. A few years ago, he showed the world a V16 motor he built using four Yamaha 1,000cc motorcycle engines mounted on a custom fabricated aluminum block.
