Looking at getting this bike for $50, its been sitting for 3 years, so needs a bit of work. I think it's a maxim but the VIN is 00450, no letter designation - which is odd. Can anyone ID this bike?

I've been wondering this for awhile as I've been working on my XS and sifting through the sea of online parts.. but I'm not really sure what model I have. The title says "Model/Body: RS" but I never find a correlation to this model while shopping for parts. While shopping for 79 xs parts I...

Hi all, I recently was given a bike without a title, and I was told/assumed it was an xs360, as it came with an xs400/xs360 repair manual, but now im having doubts. I think it kind of looks more like an xs650 the vin reads 3N3-000364 I did try to research on google, this forum and...

Hello! First off I want to add that I am a new member, and I have just recently purchased a 1982 XS 400R (seca model). I love this bike but I am having some difficulty finding out the compatibility with the other XS models. What I really need to find is a replacement front brake caliper...

Looking at the pictures of the bikes on this forum I have started to wonder about the story I was told when I bought my 1977 XS400. I was told it was all stock except for the seat cover which had been damaged in storage. The story goes that the original purchaser died shortly after he bought it...

So bought some insurance from geico but they are saying my vin is invalid. Am I identifying it wrong? There is one number i can't make out on the sticker. I'm guessing its a zero but it appears I'm wrong. I've included the picture of the sticker what i read is: JYA16M00-4-0-002659 Thats what...

looking at this part bike for sale but i need a little help figuring out what model is this? i need a 1980 or a 1981.

So I'm a little confused. My bike is badged (sidecovers and tank) as an '81 Special II or XS400SH, but the VIN starts with 4R5, which should be a Standard or XS400H, right?

There is a guy in my area selling a 79 XS400 Special. I was thinking about picking it up, either to work on or use for parts. I have an 81 Special, this is a 79. Are there any major differences? I am mainly wondering about the electrical and ignition, as mechanically I am pretty sure they...

I have a 77 XS 360 on the frame it says IT6-005404 How does one tell if it is a 2D or a C_D? I need to order some carb parts If anyone has a good site? I did find Yamatopdog and SCI but neither list a kit so I think I am going to have to buy them separate. Thanks. Kevin
