Yamaha XS description

Kick Start: https://youtu.be/hW0fLoS4ul0

1978 Yamaha XS650 Cafe Racer. This bike has been completely rebuilt by myself and FederalMotoUS. 6 months ago the bike was completely taken down to the frame in which a lot of pieces were powdercoated black. The top end was rebuilt (new piston rings, new o rings) because why not if you have the motor out of the bike? Runs and drives very nice and is super loud and fun. 

Parts list is as follows:
- Hughs Handbuilt Motor Mounts
- Hughs Handbuilt PMA system
- Reg/Rectifier Combo
- All new electrical
- New manifold boots and carb boots
- New brake pads
- All brand-new electrical system 
- Custom seat and seat pan
- Pamco Highoutput Ignition System
- Engine dress up kit 
- Carburator rebuild (gaskets, all new jets, synced and tuned) 
- Also have brand new master cylinder that I have not installed yet. 
- New bullet style taillights
- Rear brake light switch
- Bike does not have horn, turn signals, or mirrors. 

Keep in mind this is a 38 year old bike with a  carburetor. These bikes certainly take time and maintenance. This bike is being sold as is with no warranty. I am accurately describing the bike as is to my knowledge. Once sold, it's yours. Call or email me with any questions vmocci2@uic.edu or six 3 0 five four 4 four five 9 5. 

Buyer is responsible for pick-up or delivery. If delivered, I know a company that can do it.

Glen Richards back with Embassy Racing

Wed, 27 Oct 2010

One of the unsung heroes of the BSB paddock over the past few seasons, has to be 2010 Superstock 1000 runner up Glen Richards. A nasty tumble in at the Brands Hatch opener lead to four DNFs, but once back on track he pushed the dominant BMWs hard, finishing on the podium eight times. While many were trading their grannies to fund new S1000RRs, Richards kept the faith and rode the wheels off his Padgett’s Honda Fireblade.
