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.

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!
