Accessories:
Except for the chrome backrest and luggage rack it is naked just like it was made.
|
|
Modifications:
Clutch Mod- added a extra steel spacer and installed heavy duty springs. installed new Star [pressure plate] Rejetted carbs and installed POD filters
|
|
Problems:
When accelerating on to the freeway the clutch would slip, so I modded the clutch and it does not slip any more. The carbs were leaking when I bought it so I rebuilt them and put POD air cleaners on so I can keep an eye, have not had any more problems! I replaced the gasket and adjusted the chain tensioner- works perfect with no leaks.
|
|
Comments:
The bike runs good and it is smooth just like in the old days. At 70 mph on the freeway it is glass smooth and feels like it is just cruizin-will do it all day! does not have any leaks and starts easy even cold. they use to build them like tanks so it is heavy at over 500lbs which makes for great cruising!
|
|
For Sale:
If someone wanted to give me $3500 cash I would sell it but I am not actively trying to sell it.

Recovered seat for $150 at a canvas shop. Bike was and still is garage kept. See photo link for 3D Computer model of this bike.

Bored to 1200cc, Japanese BB Kit installed. Kerker 4 into 1 exhaust (installed around 1986). The rest of the bike is pretty much original.
|
|
Problems:
After top end rebuild, now have detonation issue. Probably in the vacuum timing advance. This was an issue with the 11's and Yamaha issued a fix back in the 80's but the XS owners had to pay for the repair. Disconnecting the vacuum advance has cured about 90 percent of the issue.
|
|
Comments:
This was a basket case, frozen motor (bent valve), mangled electrical etc. I did a poor mans restore on it, replaced valve, cleaned carbs, repaired the wiring, resoldered the TCI module pins and off I went, riding for the next four years. In 2007 the motor developed a miss and a zero compression cylinder. I parked it. In 2010 I tore down the top end. This year, 2015 it was put back together. Runs well, I am looking forward to riding and putting many more dollars into it. This machine is truly a labor of love.
