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!

The viral YouTube video of a Yamaha R1 rider weaving in and out of traffic was used by police to track down Scott with the help of a concerned neighbor’s tip.

Sun, 07 Aug 2022

All we learn from history, goes the current cynical wisdom, is that we learn nothing from history. Then again, maybe we do? For instance, I just learned this morning that Yamaha is still stamping out the FJR1300ES 20 years after the original 2002 FJR1300 hit our shores.
