Yamaha XS description

This gorgeous XS 850 Special has only 5700 Miles and has been stored indoors its entire life! It's in beautiful condition, even the seat is original! Starts right up and runs great using either the kick or electric start.  I have refreshed the oil, forks have been rebuilt with new seals and oil, the carbs have been clean, brakes refreshed and rebuilt, cables replaced and a brand new AGM battery. It's registered till next year and has a clean CA title in hand. If I were going to put this back on the road I would definitely consider new tires and would perhaps upgrade the brake pads, though everything does work as it should and there are no modifications whatsoever to this bike. Very clean inside and out. Zero rust to be found even the inside of the tank is spotless. Please feel free to call me, Patrick, at 916-834-6415 if you have any questions about this sweet bike. I was thinking about making it into a cafe racer, but I figured with it being in such immaculate shape it might be better off in someones collection than for me to take the knife to it. Perfect example of a bulletproof powerful triple that is ready to hit the road. I am happy to assist the buyer with arranging shipping, but it will be at the buyer's expense. I have had a perfect track record using the site U-Ship so that is a good place to go if you've never had to move a bike.

    Yamaha Recalls R1 and Super Tenere for Overheating Headlights

    Mon, 24 Feb 2014

    Yamaha has started a recall campaign on 2009-2013 YZF-R1 sportbikes and 2012-2013 Super Ténéré models because of a risk of headlight failure due to overheating. The recall campaign affects 19,045 units of the R1 and 4,683 units of the Super Ténéré in the U.S. According to documents released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, heat generated by the headlight bulb socket may cause the terminal ends to expand, resulting in arcing between the terminal connector and bulb contact.
