I'm going to look at a '76 Yamaha XS 500 tomorrow. I was wondering if you guys have had any experience with them? I read that the cam chain tensioner usually needs tightened every couple months, but that overall they're a pretty reliable bike. Kick start rod has a small tendency to snap. The one I'm looking at is listed for 950 obo. I'm going to see if I can get it for 7-750, if I can't get him for 800 I'll walk. I plan on making a cafe racer build if I do get it. Anybody know of any problems with these bikes? Anything to watch for?
