MPORTANT INFORMATION. PLEASE READ ALL: Remember. your winning bid is a contract to buy. not to show up. kick the tires and then decide you've changed your mind. or to receive the bike and then proceed to try to find fault with it. I apologize if this sounds harsh but we all know these types of bidders do exist so please don't bid unless you are serious about owning this motorcycle. Please ask any questions you like before bidding. You will be answered quickly and honestly. I will not sugarcoat anything for the sake of a few extra dollars. With all the bikes I own or have owned over the years. I know how disappointing it is when someone over-sells a bikes condition so you may be sure I won't do that to you. I have disclosed all known defects. I cannot disclose something I do not know. You are welcome and encouraged to personally inspect the bike prior to bidding. Although this bike is sold “as is” and "without warranty". I want you to be happy and therefore I encourage you to ask a question and not just assume something. Do not buy vintage motorcycles if you are expecting a new one. That would require a time machine. These bikes are not new and you should not expect a 40 year old motorcycle to be new because they are not. Thank you and good luck!1973 Yamaha XS650. This is an original bike except for the paint on the gas tank. Complete bike. VIN S650-204323. Buyer will receive a clear title to this motorcycle. The engine is free and kicks over with good compression. The oil in the crankcase is clean and shows no signs of any bad stuff in it. Very clean. The gas tank has been cleaned inside. The throttle is sticking and the carbs will need to be removed and cleaned. and the bike is basically a good bike to fix up and ride or to do a total restoration. Exhaust mufflers are looking very good as you can see. I do not see any holes in them and the underside of them has some surface rust but no holes. The bike retains even the original gas cap. seat. cables. everything. So. it is ready for you to work on it. The bike not currently running. The rims are good and so are the spokes. Overall. this bike should be an easy bike to get running good and to enjoy. I have priced the bike at what I feel is a very fair price for this motorcycle. Thanks.
