Hi all..

my first post here..

I picked up an old XS 250 and have made a start at getting it tarted up and roadworthy again..

I'm searched the net and this forum to see if I can work out what year the bike is from the engine or frame numbers..

The frame number is 2U3=011649 and the engine number is 1M0-011649

I have a service manual for it, which confirms that it is an XS 250 engine.

If anyone can help i'd really appreciate it..

(as soon as i figure out how to add a picture I'll put a couple on .. cheers,,)

cancel that..

it's a 1978 XS 250 F
