Can anyone tell me if there is a Yamaha XS650 owners club in the UK. Or of a company that specialises in parts for XS ???

Have you tried http://www.650motorcycles.com/?  It's the only site I've come across.  Not UK based though.

Cheers

Nigel.

Thanks, i have spent a fair bit of time scanning the internet but have only come up with USA or european sites.
I was hoping for a bit of local knowledge etc if possible.
thanks any way

Dennis - I am sure there is an XS650 section within the VJMC, may be a link on their website.

Tony Hall runs Hallco out on the A30 the western side of Salisbury. He is an ex grass track racer and specialises in XS650s. I ran one of his US import XS650 Ds back in the 90s - I still have the catalogue somewhere - it was pretty comprehensive and covered all models including frame upgrades ( very necessary ) and big bore kits. As far as I know he is still in business. Good luck.

James
many thanks
unfortunately Tony committed suicide recently and Hallco is currently not running although there is some talk of a company buying it up
