1979 Yamaha XS650 Service and Repair Manual

A 1979 XS650 carries the code XS650F, and Yamaha's service manual for it is LIT-11616-XS-62, the volume that spans 1978 to 1981.

Four model years in one book keeps the late twins together, which is convenient when a bike has been kept running with pieces from either side of its own year. Reading the XS650F column in the specification tables is what keeps the numbers honest.

• Reference specifications and periodic adjustment intervals
• Engine overhaul in factory sequence with clearances and torque
• Clutch, transmission and final drive service
• Fork, rear suspension, wheel and brake procedures
• Carburetor synchronising and ignition timing
• Electrical component tests and the complete wiring diagram

Confirm the code before you order, since the earlier XS650 books do not apply to this machine.
