1982 Yamaha XS650S-experiences?

[theboxrules]

Hey all. I have a small bit of cash to spend on a bike to putt around on this summer while I work on my CB project. I found an 82 XS650S for sale in town on CL. Looks to be in good shape, maintained, etc. What do you guys know about this model and year? Any pitfalls to look out for?

Thanks!

It's a solid bike with a great engine. You really can't go wrong with it, unless I'm mistaken.
