Yamaha XS650 Scrambler Build: Last Ride

This is my 1982 Yamaha XS650 Heritage Special. I bought it a few years ago and ended up a putting around 8,000 miles on it. When I got it, it had tons of wiring issues, some clubman bars and wasn't quite running right. I tuned it up, replaced some parts and got it on the road. Definitely a fun bike to rip around on. But, its time has come to be passed on to the next guy. I recently sold it, but this was my last ride through the mountains of Montana. Thanks for watching.

Enjoy the ride and sorry for the wind noise. New build videos are on the way. What do you guys think of this bike? Should I have kept it?

[@jimcoffman560]

If you got enough out of it to buy my sweet little 250 Rebel for your s/o, then no, you shouldn't have kept it!

[@JourdonGulick]

Haha, she's pretty much limited to a 125cc dirtbike. But at least she likes to ride a little bit.

Nice video man!😁

[@scarryomen1]

I was about to comment on the bad roads and ask if riding on all the cracks were horrible the you took it down a dirt trail that answers that question.

[@JourdonGulick]

Haha, yeah, no smooth riding in that area

Nice Bike and a Nice Ride!!!!! Want to break out the Honda Shadow but sadly cant. Healing a 3 break and shattered clavicle from a crash at The Dumont Dunes.

[@JourdonGulick]

Ooooo, bummer. Sent it a little too hard?

[@XCountryAdventures]

Front Tire + Soft Sand + Landing shoulder on hard pack sand = 3 Clavicle Breaks.

[@JourdonGulick]

Damn, well, heal up. Lots of riding to be done out there.

[@sgntbilco]

[@karlavelo2482]
