Pete Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 TBH the XS750 was one of the WORST bikes Yamaha ever made. I'm sure one of the others can advise, but you will need to be more specific about what you want to know. Get some photos up of it's present condition too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'77hammerguy Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 I've got a '77 XS 750 and they can be problematic at best, but they are a cool bike and fun to ride, Let your friend know that parts are available around the web. The first thing I would do if its not already done is convert the ignition to CDI. Let me know if you need any info. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kslrr Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I'm also working on an XS750, a '77. So far so good, the engine sounds nice a tight and no electrical problems. It only has 8250 miles on it and even though it had been sitting outside in the dessert for at least a year, it didn't take much to get it running. One modification I did was to shorten the ugly muffle by 12 inches and redesign the baffle. Now it sounds like a hopped up little British car. I'm also going to use pod filters since the stock air box is missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bralkan Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I've got a 76 XS750. It only need the stator wires reconnected after a bad batt leaked fluid on them and they snapped in half. Other than that, it runs great. Don't have to much technical knowledge though on it, as nothing has needed to be fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
