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.

Rossi, Pedrosa Fastest In Second Sepang MotoGP Test

Fri, 28 Feb 2014

Valentino Rossi and Dani Pedrosa topped the time sheets at the conclusion of the second MotoGP test at the Sepang track in Malaysia. Both clocked identical times of 1:59.999 to become the only riders to dip under the two minute mark the entire test. The hot and humid conditions in Sepang meant times wouldn’t be faster than they were in the first test here only a few weeks prior, and indeed, Rossi and Pedrosa’s time is 0.466 second slower than the fastest lap Marc Marquez set at the last test.

How To Rebuild a Yamaha R6 In Under A Minute + Video

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

If you’re new to the road racing scene, you might have heard the terms “Factory” and “Privateer.” For the casual observer, you’ll notice the difference between the two ultimately comes down to money and support, as one is likely working out of the back of their van while the other is supported by an 18-wheeler. This video, shot by the Y.E.S./Monster Energy/Graves/Yamaha team makes the line between the two sides clear as day. Watch as the Yamaha crew rebuilds Garrett Gerloff’s R6 from the frame up after a nasty crash with enough time to make the race.

Live from the launch of the Yamaha FZ8

Sun, 18 Apr 2010

THAT, MY FRIENDS, is our test rider's transportation to the 2010 Yamaha FZ8 launch in Marseille. Today, Jon Urry will endure 700 miles in a bazzed-up Ford Transit with other UK bike journalists, thanks to the infamous cloud of volcanic ash that's turning our skies a worrying shade of crystal-clear blue. So check back later for Jon's updates on their progress to southern France.
