1972 Yamaha XS650 (XS2)
Second year of this classic British Twin designed bike with reliable Japanese underpinnings
Tasteful Cafe Bars & Seat, all else is Stock and intact
2 years and less than 1000 miles on High Compression Rebuilt Engine
160 PSI in both cylinders
Custom Exhaust is Loud and Sounds Awesome (think Harley)
Carbs cleaned, Oil Changed and Tune Up performed Spring 2016
Starts First Kick even after sitting for over a week
New Parts include Starter Relay, Gas Cap, Tank Badges, Grips, Bar Ends, Battery Tender Pigtail
Ride the bike around the city and on 2 hr. round trips to work pretty regularly. Don't get to ride as much as I used to though and I've got two bikes so can't give them both the justice they deserve so sadly I'm letting go of this bad boy.
Clean PA Title in Hand

Bike doesn't really need anything but if you want to nit pick here are 3 things that could be improved:
-Tail, Brake & Head Lights high & low all work but blinkers do not. Needs a new flasher I think. I just use hand signals when in busy traffic.
-Battery is dead. If you want to use the electric starter then you'll have to replace the battery. Kicking it is cooler anyway so I've been riding it w/ this dead battery for over a year now.
-Small cosmetic flaws here and there as to be expected on a 44 yr. bike. Let's call it Patina.

Bike is available for local pick up.  Shipping can be arranged at buyers expense.  I've successfully used Uship for jobs like this in the past.  

Call or message me with any questions you have.

Magneti Marelli to Supply Electronics System to MotoGP Teams

Wed, 26 Sep 2012

It’s no secret that promoter Dorna Motorsports has been trying to push a standardized electronics control unit for teams in the MotoGP World Championship. The lack of a top-tier electronics package has been one of the biggest challenges faced by MotoGP’s claiming rule teams, and a spec ECU would narrow the gap between the CRT bikes and the factory prototypes. The manufacturers competing in the series, Honda, Ducati and Yamaha, understandably are resistant to the idea considering the effort they’ve put in to develop their electronics systems.
