Yamaha XS description
1973 Yamaha TX 650. Kick and electric start. I installed a Pamco ignition and hi output coil, bike starts w/ one kick hot or cold. Original mufflers sound great and are in fine condition. I picked this bike up 3 yrs ago and did an over the winter restoration to it. I installed a second disc up front with Spiegler braided brake hoses, new master cylinder and pads. New oring chain and sprockets, clutch actuator and cable. Carbs and petcocks have been rebuilt, new throttle cables and grips. All electric work proper and the charging system is great. I had the seat reupholstered and new foam put on. I did the tapered steering head bearings and the bronze swingarm bushings. The motor has never been apart to my knowledge and the compression is great with no leaks on or under the engine. The original speedometer was replaced after I got it and the actual mileage is closer to 18k than what the present speedo shows. The paint is all original and looks great except for one small chipped area near the fuel cap and some fading on the left side near the Yamaha badge. The tires are at about 70% of life left on them. This has been an original VT bike and thus the mileage is pretty low. The bike runs great but I have other projects and no time to ride right now. I'd like to see someone use it and not have it sit in my garage all winter. I will need a 10% deposit on the winning bid and the bike must be picked up or shipped within 10 days.

Rainy BSB tests are nothing new
Mon, 25 Mar 2013THE combination of bad weather in the UK and a European testing ban means that most BSB teams will now start the season with very little track time. This sounds like a disaster for the top teams but history has proved this isn’t necessarily true and it sometimes doesn’t matter how much pre season preparation has taken place. Back in 2002 Sean Emmett won on the IFC Ducati at the opening Silverstone round after first riding it in unofficial practice the same weekend. Steve Hislop took the other win on Pauls Bird’s well sorted Ducati. More recently in 2009, Leon Camier took an untested new model R1 Yamaha to victory at the Brands Hatch opener after GSE took delivery of the bike just the week before. Sylvain Guintoli won the other race on a well developed, well tested Crescent Suzuki. You could argue if no one has had testing then it is a level playing field but you have to feel for riders moving up to the superbike class in the world’s toughest national series. Tyco Suzuki’s PJ Jacobson is one such rider but having spent some time with him over the past few weeks he seems to be taking it all in his stride. It may be the confidence of youth or maybe the fact he has won in every other class he has entered in his short BSB career, but I suspect he fancies at least standing on the Superbike podium at Brands (He also does a bit of ice racing which is not dissimilar to the this year’s UK testing). The testing ban was implemented with all the best cost cutting intentions and if it had been any other year in the past decade all would be well. The teams may be feeling frustrated but the fans should be excited. With so many unknowns, the 2013 BSB opener at Brands Hatch could be the best ever!
MotoGP Lifts Rookie Rule, Caps Factory Prototype Entries and Adjusts Other Regulations
Fri, 29 Jun 2012As expected, MotoGP organizers have officially lifted the rule barring rookies from racing for factory teams, but the Grand Prix Commission also tweaked some other regulations including a cap on factory prototype machines. We’ve discussed the lifting of the rookie rule already, with the main impetus being to allow a manufacturer such as Honda to sign up-and-coming Moto2 star Marc Marquez when he is expected to move up to the premiere class next season. As of Jan.
Wood-Rotax SJ676 Grand Prix
Wed, 22 Jan 2014Until yesterday I'd never even heard of this bike let alone seen one. I didn't know anything about it. I still don't, really but I dug up these words on the bike and thought I'd share them.
