Motor from a 1980 Yamaha XS850 I parted out in 2019. At that point, it has been sitting since 2011, odometer showed 27k. Bike was set up for touring, with fairing and luggage/hard cases, typical “old guy couldn’t ride anymore and parked it” kinda story. I got it running before I took the bike apart, video that’s attached is from fall of 2019. It was running off carbs from another bike and I didn’t spend the time to fully synch them in, but it sounded reasonably healthy. You could possibly put this in a bike and run it as is, up to you. Plugs certainly look like it was running rich, not lean. Asking for $150, includes the motor, oil cooler, gearbox, kick start lever, and extra gaskets for the Speedo cable. (A common leak point on these motors.) Pick up from my house in Edmonds, WA. I also have a whole bike, with title in my name, that has a blown motor, plus a couple boxes of spare parts, including some factory Hitachi carbs, new spark plugs, oil filter, maybe some plug wires, etc, I’d be happy to make a deal on. Also have the final drive assembly from this bike and the rear wheel. (See my other sale listings.) Please let me know if you’re interested, thank you!
