1975 Yamaha XS650 Service and Repair Manual

Code XS650B belongs to the 1975 XS650, and the service manual that documents it is Yamaha part number LIT-11616-01-52, a volume written across the 1974 to 1977 model years.

Four years share the pages, and the specification tables keep them apart by code. That is worth using: a component of unknown year can be measured against the XS650B values instead of being fitted on the strength of looking right.

Coverage begins with reference data and routine adjustment, then moves through engine overhaul in factory disassembly order, with clearances, wear limits and reassembly torque stated at each stage. Clutch, gearbox and final drive follow, then forks, rear suspension, wheels and brakes. Carburetor synchronising and ignition timing have their own sequences, and electrical diagnosis is supported by test readings and the harness diagram rather than left to guesswork.
