Yup, still got em!

Hey Anthony, Sorry but the tach sold and I gave the motor away when I sold my bike. Still have some odds and ends: side covers, kickstart lever, beat up Mikuni BS34's, side mirror, emgo filters.

Bike is SOLD.

Upgraded to an XS650, so my girl has to go. I've been through every bolt on this bike, this is ready to be ridden and enjoyed. $1800 OBO https://philadelphia.craigslist.org/mcy/d/yamaha-xs/6221356476.html

I tried selling some of this stuff on here last year but didn't get any bites. Just put most of it up on eBay if anyone is interested in it. You can make me an offer on eBay or on here, I can just end the auction and take a paypal payment from you. Also, still have a complete motor out of my '81...

Motor is now FREE. Come pick it up for a winter project:cheers:

If memory serves, the 3 hole is for the electronic ignition. The 79 has points, that's why there's two males coming out of the breaker plate cover. Did you swap motors or just the harness?

::I've got an '81 motor that's a bit of a basket case but it is a runner:: 44K miles Kickstart journal broken Burns oil Cam seal leaking (it's also got a fresh set of Iridium plugs in it) '78 stator cover (missing gasket on that side) ((Used the '81 stator on my '78 motor swap)) Oil filter bolt...

So this project turned into more of hassle then I predicted but it's pretty much back on track after about a month of futzing with it. There were some typical pitfalls/unknowns that came up during the project, which I'll list below: -Rear motor mount on the '81 is bigger than the '78. I can...

Reviving an old thread here. Going to do the motor swap about a year after I got this thing running. The old motor has been okay but I recently posted about some ignition gremlins that I can't track down. Seems like the TCI is dying as I'm not getting a good spark on the right cylinder. The...

Thanks for the tip, Drewpy!

I've got an issue that has had me scratching my head the last week or so. My '81 was running fine until we had a big rainstorm, during which she wasn't covered. I started it 2 days later and realized it was only running on the left cylinder. A day or two later, I started it again and it was...

I wouldn't worry about the exposure without a fender/mud gaurd. I've been caught in the rain twice on the bike with no problems, minus a wet jacket from no rear fender. The wiring is all shielded or at the very least taped up. I don't think the air filters would ever suck in any water either, if...

Here's a battery box I made with the help of a friend a few weekends ago. The PO's setup is shown in the last photo...originally it was just the battery but I had to add a solenoid and starter back into the mix due to the dreaded broken kickstart journal. Anyway, the PO's rig of two 4 inch L...

Finally rigged up the starter solenoid and put in a starter button by the side cover. No more jumping the starter from the battery:bike:

Just to chime in on an old thread, I purchased the brake cable through the ebay link (seller is thevintagespoke.) The cable length is correct for my '81 but the end links are different and the threaded end is thinner than the original, so you will not be able to thread into the drum slot. I just...

[pic heavy update] So, my bike is finally running, and running pretty well at that! I took it home from work on Sunday and rode it 15 miles back to my place. It stalled once half an hour into the trip at idle but started right back up without any issues. As for the fixes…got the diaphragms...

Update # too many…swapped in the starter from the '78 engine to the '81, since I decided against the motor swap for the time being. Pulled the carbs completely apart and I'm pretty sure I found my issue, torn diaphragms! The right side had three tears in it that had been patched at some point...

@salisride, sold the roller to a local guy Saturday. Good luck with the parts search!
