I've got a 83 XS650 Motor, no ignition components, no carbs, good compression, clean, polished side covers. I'd like $250, but I'll take offers. Will deliver anywhere in PA/OH/MD/VA/NJ I'll even throw in a pile of stock XS650 parts if you pay $250.

Can anyone point me towards a DIY fiberglass seat walkthrough that doesn't use wood as the base? I'm thinking of building a custom seat for my XS650, without cutting the frame or modifying the hinges. I have not found any pictures of anyone else trying this. The key will be in the seat's...

1978 Yamaha XS650 Runs and rides, kick start only (starter still installed, but solenoid removed) New headlight and rare/expensive WrenchMonkees style turn signals. Hugh's PMA, and PAMCO ignition. Stainless front brake line. Needs new tires I recently redid the wiring to a more simple...

I'm interested in possibly switching over to the private sector. I currently work in government and do many of the approvals for development, permitting, etc, and I've realized I'd make a lot more money being on the opposite side, and probably get more worthwhile experience to. So, anyone work...

Anyone know of any jobs at their employers or friends who looking to hire? I'm a college educated dude who's worked in automotive service, education, and government. I'd like to get into some sort of project management position, but I'd love to PR as well. My main gig is in recreational...

They're in! $100+shipping for everything seen in this picture. 4 signals, two short mounting bolts and two long bolts. Black with orange only, single filament. If I sell the batch that I have now, I'll order some more. Please PM me for my PayPal address, and reply in this thread with a "DIBS".

I noticed an interesting quote in another thread that the SR500 was superior to the XS650 in power and weight. Did some reading, discovered in stock form: SR500 27hp 158kg (348lbs) XS650 50hp 200kg (450lbs) Now this is a good debate for all classic bikes. Does 100lbs make a difference if...

I've been thinking of ditching my center stand on my XS650, mostly for aesthetics. It's a huge piece of metal that hangs off the bottom of the bike. In the shop I can use a multitude of other device to lift the bike, including those that provide better and easier access to servicing the front...

I found the vendor of these turn signals: From WrenchMonkees Unfortunately I can only get them in black. Wrenchmonkees charges 67 Euro or nearly $85 USD a pair, with shipping its close to $200 for a set of our four. I'd like to try and get $100 for (4), with mounting bolts included...

Hi folks, I'm looking to grab one of those 2.2" mini gauges with the built in indicators for my XS650. I assume the indicator lights are LED, but I really don't know. I'm curious how the indicator lights will function with LED turn signals. Everything I'm reading says that LED turn signals...

I'm wanting something small and compact but still really really bright. Some LED and mini turn signals are pitiful in their light output. My main thing will be rear brake light and rear signals. They've just gotta light up the day (or night.)

I've got an XS650 with pretty darn clean carbs. Ran really good, started easy, never any troubles. I've got stone filters, and its been running well for months with those installed. Then all of a sudden I've got the carbs all gunked up. Primaries are all kinds of clogged, and it didn't happen...

These are the two pieces that bolt to the engine under the left side cover. I've got an original 1978 regulator, but you wouldn't want to use it. I've also got the stator coil for the TCI version as well. Alternator Rotor has 5ohms resistance, which is perfect. Use this along with a...

I've got a line a free XS400 but it needs a motor, current motor is all seized up. So I need a XS400 motor, preferably in a condition I can spin it by hand. In Western PA, Eastern Ohio.

I recently posted a comment on a BikeExif.com feature on a XS650 cafe. It was clean, meticulously clean, colored coded and just gleamed like a bike rolled out of an OCD owned shopped. It had all the right parts, and probably took lots of time and money to produce. But I had seen it before. It...

I plan on slimming down my stock seat, both the pan and the foam, and recovering. From the factory, the cover had these little hooks that held the cover in place, along with adhesive on the foam. The adhesive is easy, but how do I secure the cover tightly to the bottom of the pan? In this...

Ok, so I'm installing a toggle switch to control the power to my bike. This means there will be no key switch, but I'll still have stock controls. So I can turn my lights on/off, and have a kill switch in its normal location. The thing is, most single pole, single throw toggle switches aren't...
