82 Yamaha XJ650

~10K miles.

 

as it sits right now, this bike doesnt start. im pretty sure that all it needs is a new start button. also, the front brake caliper is stuck. it would either need rebuilt (kits are like 20 on ebay) or replaced (i think they wanted 35 for one at the rice paddy). other than that, the bike runs great. the tires are dunlop D404s and were new last year and have about 2K on them or so. ive had it parked since october, so the carbs would possibly need cleaned, but you could probably run some seafoam through it and youd be good to go.

 

it has some scrapes on the right side, which were there when i got the bike.

 

it wasnt in great condition when i got it, but i put a bit of work into it and got it to where it is now. there are no dents in the tank, but the paint isnt 100% perfect. also there is a tiny hole in the seat that i deftly repaired with electrical tape.

 

the toolkit has not been lost and is under the seat. also included is a haynes manual and the chain that came with it from yamaha to lock it up (i wouldnt trust it though).

 

other than the two minor issues with the start button and brake caliper, the bike is mechanically sound. i wouldnt hesitate to ride it 100 miles in any direction, and ive put a couple 300+ mile days on it.

 

850 OBO.
