Yamaha XJ650 description

I bought this last year with the intentions of fixing it as as my project. Well that plan has changed - I just don't have time with all of my house projects/chores.

I bought it from the 2nd owner... the title that was in his name was from 1987. He bought it from his buddy in 1987. He said the fuel pump went out years ago & he switched it to gravity feed. He said he couldn't find a working fuel pump for under $400 when it failed which is why he switched it. Well the turbo wouldn't spool without the fuel pump, so he just parked it in his garage.

Well I bought it & found a rather expensive fuel pump & I bought a full matching lockset (he had lost one key at some point so it currently has 2 different keys).

Also comes with repair manuals & a bucket of parts for the old fuel pump.

I never heard it ran... but this would be a sweet bike for someone with the time & know-how. Clean the carbs & change the fluids & throw in a battery & you could be good to go.

Bike is located in Greenwood, Indiana. I can help load onto a trailer.

Dakar Begins This Sunday!

Thu, 02 Jan 2014

Dakar is an international, bad-ass, multi-day off-road event and if you’re not a fan you should be. Crossing the borders of Argentina, Bolivia and Chile the route takes motorcycle and ATV competitors through more than 5400 miles of extreme riding conditions. Competing cars and trucks go even farther.

Kenny Roberts Motorcycle Collection Up For Sale

Wed, 25 Apr 2012

Motorcycling legend Kenny Roberts has commissioned RMD Motors to auction off some rare and exclusive motorcycles from his collection, presumably to make room for more. The Japan-based company is known the world over for its collection of rare and classic motorcycles for sale, many of which are retired grand prix machines fortunate enough to escape the fate of most decommissioned racebikes: the crusher. Headlining the Roberts collection is the 2004 Proton KRV5 originally ridden by Kurtis Roberts, King Kenny’s youngest son. The five-cylinder grand prix machine never achieved much success on the world stage, but will easily make you the center of attention at your local trackday.
