Hey all! Just an intro to the site. Dont have an XS (yet), just researching.
I've been wanting to do a cafe build for a few years now. That urge has become too strong to resist so I have been tracking down a couple canidates that could be had for cheap and am looking forward to getting out the cut-off wheels and grinders and get to it.
Found a local guy who has a few (5) XS 400s. $500 or less for anyone of them. Went to have a look and they are in decent shape and am leaning towards the XS 400 as I work at a Yamaha dealership and seeing how this guy has 5 of them, I know where to find donors!
Maybe someone can help ID them?
#s were 14w, 4T5, and 3y7. I checked the history thread and the PDF list. Unfortunatly, they are not listed.
Can anyone help on this matter?
As my contribution to the site, if anyone needs a PDF copy of ANY Yamaha Service Manual, let me know....
**Just wanted to add a quick bio. I'm from Vancouver, BC, Canada. I work as a tech at a multi-line dealership. Aprilia, BMW, Triumph, Yamaha, Moto Guzzi and Husqvarna. Fell in love with the cafe racers and am looking to build one out of the XS 400.
