Yamaha XS description

Up for sale is my 1977 Yamaha XS650 Motorcycle Hardtail Bobber with springer front end. I bought this recently on eBay and had it shipped to California. Unfortunately it was shipped not running.  Since purchase I bought BRAND NEW battery, coil, ignition wires, spark plugs, fuel filters and gave it a oil change and carb clean. And with a little patience and knowledge of older bikes, I got the bike running. She could use a little timing adjustment, but she purrs like a kitten when idling. Under load she hesitates a bit but once the RPM's are up she rides well and shifts well. She's loud too which I like. Now that being said she is not without fault, and anyone who purchases should know a little something about older bikes. Points, periodic carb cleaing, general maintenance, so on and so forth. She has a slight oil leak left side cylinder, that doesn't show up all the time (probably the gasket) $13.00 bucks at mikesxs. Doesn't happen all the time, but I thought I'd mention it. I would also change the throttle cable soon too, that can found on eBay and Mikesxs. I have been as honest as possible and I will answer any questions to the best of my knowledge. Now as far as the title is concerned I did not get it inspected at CHP but the DMV fees ($180) are paid in California. That being said if someone buys it from CA it is up to them to have it inspected and they are purchasing as-is. New owner takes the responsibility of getting it titled. CHP needs to verify the VIN I just dont have the time and to be honest I have moved on to another project. I am going to take a hit on this financially, truly my loss is your gain. There is over $5K with the new parts, DMV fees and shipping to CA. PLEASE LOOK AT MY PRICE, DONT ASK ME TO GO LOWER. Please feel free to ask questions I will answer them immediately. Thanks for looking. - I will not deliver, pick-up or shipping is up to the buyer. IN CASE ANYONE IS WONDERING THE BIKE DOES HAVE A CLEAR TITLE, JUST NOT IN CALIFORNIA.

A deposit of $500 is due within 24hrs and the balance in full 7 days of auction close or you will forfeit your deposit.
