this is where the low cost chop guys hang out. http://www.thechopperunderground.com/forum/index.php?

it should be easy to find , tx and xs 34's should be the same up to 76 unless its early drum brake. , 77 up xs650's were 35mm.

you will absolutley love roundslides, easy to tune great throttle response. http://www.650central.com/ linked mine together with a peice of threadrod, youll have two choke levers but only one is needed to tickle it.

check here. not sure what your wantin to spend. http://www.motorcycleproshop.com/exhausts/mac/macyam.asp

thinkin they were 34mm's back then im guessing that most likely there the same as xs 650 /tx 650 of same yr, look up both part #'s see if they match, if so you can find them, if not it might be a little tougher. Are the pitted or bent? check part #'s here, they may even have em. http://www.powersportspro.com/pages/parts/...nd/default.aspx

ROFLMAO!

hate to say it but 87 is way to new for me to figure out! LOL. I do know the bike and they are sweet rides.

im across the pond , but it made the news! dang!

second time ive seen a post like this, Id have to say its just poor handleing of relating the cost of the repair, to the value of the bike. guess they think us guys that ride old bike will walk away leaving the bike and the repair bill, screw em! theres enough info on line to keep me rebuilding my own. Id guess check around i know theres some motorheads down there that could help you. whatsit doing?

this is the old, ive heard this but never tried it, two methods, cram a bike innertube into tank, arrange so's stem is out filler hole, inflate . or fill with water close cap and freeze it, results will be youll either pop dent or split seams.

also, your carbs should be bs38's, and should look like this.

runningvm 34's roundslides on two xs's, I buy a lot from mikes , never a problem, but on carbs try 650 central, especially if your running a modded motor , 650 central will send them tuned to order for your mods, you wont have to tweek them . no experience with mikes dleorotto's so I cant say how they compare. hope this helps. http://www.650central.com/

oh heck yes! it 400 for your first bike, hold on to your ass! 150. is a steal if it runs let alone rideable, not a lot of em left in decent cond. most were raced or trail riden trashed and parked. excellent power yamy's 1st isdt type bike. ive been lookin for an it 175 myself.

52, wife , 5 kids , 3 grandkids, own small buz in the middle of farmland u.s. purty much been ridin my whole life, and purty much dont have a thing thats stock. I used to love beer untill I realized I couldnt remember the 80's. guess im not out much there. & I wish there were more pics here, and winter sucks. thankyou.

if ya dont get an answere here got to the link, a cat named blackjack hangs out there, he's been buildin bikes forever. http://www.thechopperunderground.com/forum/index.php?

put bike on center stand, tip it to one side place wood block of choice under it, repeat on opposite side. it should tip and walk easy.

in illinois its flat , but if ya know where to go, most rural roads along the mississippi, (great river rd drive) are fantastic, lotsa rural town & no worry's.

thought id toss in progress report

http://www.aircooledrdclub.co.uk/default.a...tPage=intro.htm

Id assume this cat is a RUB (rich urban biker) but , im thinkin now he's a poser, I dont care what ya ride I like em all but dont diss whatcha cant back up.

that right theres funny! & you got pics of flatrack 400?

try over on http://www.thechopperunderground.com/forum/index.php? theres several 400 chop guys over there, another option would be to extend the swing, im doing this xs 4 0ver rear with xs 1100 air shocks, dropped the seat bout 3 inch. will have bout 24 in ride height. heres a pic.

not mine. I do think there a dif in specials and standards frame wise.

wish you had a pic, look on your cast front wheel, is there a plastic cover over bolt holes & is there a mount on lower fork leg ? guessing if its like xs 650's you can your goin to have to figure out what caliper goes on that side & odds are its a common caliper off another style yammey, as for rotor just get another rotor off a bike like yours, then youll need to go one of two ways, either two long hoses and a dual banjo bolt , or a y junction off another yammy that mounts on the neck, id guess an XJ 11 has duals, though im not really familier with differances in your bikes and US version. Duals are more common on euro models than US models. Dont forget you should upgrade master cyl or modify yours.

this is an 81 but should be same , not much changed in the special models over here from beginning production run till early 80's .
