hi i just wanted to know does any one know were i can find the exact specs for my bike it is a 1981 xs250 special i have look heaps and can not find them anywhere

very nice bike i must say got to love the classics

click here for compatibility list try this site has helped me out a lot with swapping parts

hey mate have you found a caliper yet as i have one spare i bought for my 1981 xs 250 special works great but that was not my problem mine was i needed a new master cylinder if you are still after one i can sell it to you cheap would take about a week to get to you as i am in Australia say something along the line of 40-50 gbp i think the conversion is including postage

thanks glad to have signed up looks like a great place here and going back through all the old post in the problems section has helped me out a lot getting my ride running again thanks for the info to help me out

how ya going mate i'm from the east coast just out of Sydney should not be to hard to find parts for your little weapon i have been tracking a lot of old Yamaha parts down the last few weeks i will make a list and post it up for you most of the place i have found are in south Australia and just out of Perth in WA

yeah love the xs its a great cruiser have ridden a few late model road bikes and they are not for me i rather sit back and just enjoy the ride rather then go like a bat out hell and be to busy trying to hang on rather then enjoying it i got her running today for the first time in 10 years needs a bit of tuning to the carbs as its revving high then dies down and stalls out but that's just carb adjustments as they were stripped down to nothing and cleaned and now having trouble finding the tuning specs but still had her doing 130kmh while running rough so that's pretty good i think plenty of power for such as old bike

hi all just thought i would introduce myself my names paul from Australia i have had a few Yamaha's now on number 3 had a it 200 and a it460 both 1981 i seem to like that year so i have now picked up a 1981 xs 250 special that my dad originally bought when he came over from England has sat in the shed with a blown bottom end for 10 years i have had it 1 month and given it a freshen up dropped in a new motor new coat of paint made a new wiring harness and will have it on the road within a week just waiting on some parts like points and master cylinder to arrive and she will be good to go going to leave it as stock as i can as that is they way i like them and in aust they seem very hard to come across also have just finished a 1966 mark 1 2 door cortina i managed to track down as i seem to love all things pommy lol
