1978 Yamaha Xs on 2040-motos


Fayetteville, North Carolina, United States
Yamaha XS description
Up for auction is my 1978 Yamaha XS650 Bobber build. Matching frame and engine numbers. Clear title. Starts, runs and stops well. I am the third owner of this well maintained bike. I did all of the build off of the original XS650 Special. I have owned the motorcycle for 3 years. When I bought it the mileage read 23,000 miles. I have put approximately 100 miles on it. The after market speedometer reads 91 miles. Many
new aftermarket parts have been installed including Pamco Ignition (no points to adjust),
Anti-Gravity lithium battery, completely replaced old Yamaha wiring harness with new after market minimal wiring and fuse box, 34MM Mikuni Carburetors, Biltwell Seat, TC
Bros handlebars and foot pegs, new Low Brow customs ignition switch,
new grips, cables and controls, new front brake master cylinder, new copper painted headlight and bobber style rear tail light/license plate mount. Low
miles on new Firestone tires. Electric or kick start. I replaced the #4 starter gear and spring that are the cause of the notorious grinding starter, and she starts easily due to the Pamco ignition. This is a rider NOT A SHOW BIKE, although it did win "Best Bike" at a local builders bike show June 11, 2016! The Sportster tank has a small dent on right side near the top but retains the factory paint job. The frame paint, and wheels are rattle can but look good because I prepared the surfaces and primed them properly. The rear brake is a
little spongy but works fine. I have a brand new rear master cylinder that has not
been installed included in sale. This bike is a blast to ride and a head
turner. Questions are welcome and I have video of the bike running and being ridden.

2014 AMA Supercross – Las Vegas Results
Mon, 05 May 2014Ryan Villopoto capped off his fourth-consecutive AMA Supercross championship with an impressive victory at the season finale at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas. The Monster Energy Kawasaki rider clinched the title at last week’s New Jersey round so he didn’t have to prove anything in Vegas. But he did, leading all 20 laps and winning by nearly 14 seconds.
The perfect classified advert
Fri, 21 Jun 2013Forget “One careful owner, low mileage, full service history” – when it comes to penning classifieds we can all learn from Kyle Miller and Joe Strachila who’ve plundered their marketing genius to come up with the best scooter advert we’ve ever seen. The pair, from Seattle, became an internet sensation last year when they created a hyperbole-packed ad for $700-worth of frankly rubbish 1995 Pontiac Grand-Am. Now they’ve pulled the same trick to get rid of a Y2K Yamaha SH50 (the comically-named ‘Razz’), advertising it on Cragslist as “the fulfilment of your wildest fantasies”.
