Title: XS 650 help Post by: Firery Fred on May 14, 2011, 01:57:59 PM Lookin at an xs 650 that jumps out of 1st and 3rd at high revs,is this fixable/expensive to fix? Anyone know? cheers Fred
Title: Re: XS 650 help Post by: Cabman77 on May 14, 2011, 03:34:03 PM any internal part of an XS is relatively expensive. Yamaha never allowed pattern parts to be made for them and kept their own prices high. A pair of pistons cost £200 20 years ago if that gives you some idea.

Title: Re: XS 650 help Post by: ByzMax on May 14, 2011, 08:39:15 PM What price and condition. They fetch good money so you might be able to pick up some internals for the box at a later date on ebay.
If cheap it would be worth a punt! Title: Re: XS 650 help Post by: terry t on May 15, 2011, 09:41:21 AM there these on ebay
