Yamaha XS tech info


Yamaha XS description
Up for sale is a 79 XS1100. The bike starts, runs, rides, stops, and shifts. It has a nice MAC 4-1 header. Overall, the bike is in good shape for the year, it just needs a little attention. It has a new stator (charges at 14.5-15v), new petcocks, and the carbs have been gone through.
The float valves stick a little and it will leak gas if the petcocks are left on. That is an issue that will definitely need addressed. The carbs will probably need synched also. The tank is clean inside but has a few dings and scratches, not too bad though. One side cover is broken as shown in the pics. The seat is in good shape. The kick starter works but won't return on its own, probably a bad spring I would guess, but the electric start works fine. Rear tire is good, front tire has some cracking. The battery will need replaced, I have just started it off a jump box. This is a chance to get a good deal on a large cc shaft drive Yamaha, and would be an easy winter project. Thank you for looking! |

Kenny Roberts Motorcycle Collection Up For Sale
Wed, 25 Apr 2012Motorcycling legend Kenny Roberts has commissioned RMD Motors to auction off some rare and exclusive motorcycles from his collection, presumably to make room for more. The Japan-based company is known the world over for its collection of rare and classic motorcycles for sale, many of which are retired grand prix machines fortunate enough to escape the fate of most decommissioned racebikes: the crusher. Headlining the Roberts collection is the 2004 Proton KRV5 originally ridden by Kurtis Roberts, King Kenny’s youngest son. The five-cylinder grand prix machine never achieved much success on the world stage, but will easily make you the center of attention at your local trackday.
Lorenzo Signs Two-Year Extension with Yamaha
Thu, 07 Aug 2014Two-time MotoGP Champion Jorge Lorenzo has signed a contract extension with Yamaha to see him race on the company’s factory team through the 2016 season. The signing comes as no real surprise, following similar two-year contract extensions for teammate Valentino Rossi and Repsol Honda’s Marc Marquez and Dani Pedrosa. Ducati also confirmed it would field Andrea Dovizioso and Andrea Iannone next season, so unless Lorenzo wanted to spend a season or two developing Suzuki‘s or Aprilia‘s new prototypes, Lorenzo’s only option for a factory ride was to re-sign with Yamaha.
