Yamaha XS description
"The XS is a Rolls Royce with a blown Chrysler Hemi motor..." - Cycle magazine first review. 1978
This is a rare Muscle Cafe Racer. Excellent Condition. Brand New Tires. Bought this from a mechanic who customized it and kept it in great shape. I've taken it on a couple road trips and I've never had a more smooth ride. I also have the original seat and other parts that were stripped off to convert to a cafe style. Only Issues: 1) Someone broke the high beam switch on a test ride so only the low beam works unless I fix it before it's sold. New switch costs about $50 with shipping. Also needs front turn signals. 2) It once seemed to lose poser when I was accelerating. I spoke to the previous owner (a mechanic) who had experienced this symptom very rarely and said it goes away when you've revved the engine a little. 3) One of the small side covers is lose. It needs replacing. will costs aprox $50 unless I have time to get a new one before it sells. These are the only imperfections I'm aware of. This bike is in Incredible condition. Selling it because I found a great deal on a Ducati and can't afford both. Feel free to ask any questions. Enjoy. |
