Description 1979 Yamaha XS
Modified 1979 Yamaha 650SPE: modified to have a kind of sport seat. Has brand new battery, and brand new fuel line with in-line shut-off valve. Has external battery charge terminals, custom added to allow for convenient battery trickle charging. Upon cold start, during warm up the motor does some backfiring for reason unknown. Otherwise seems to run OK. This Yamaha, with modified seat, was purchased by current owner from a motorcycle customizing business (records lost). There are some extra parts offered along, at no additional charge: 2 rear shock absorbers, several turn signal lamps, light reflectors, and the original disassembled seat. The odometer shows 17267, but it is not known if this is accurate or not. This Yamaha is now 37 years old. Last time it was registered in Maine, in 2013, as "Antique". After 2013 it was in storage, up to now.
Reason for selling: owner has relocated.
