Vehicle Information
Yamaha XS2 650 Motorcycle - Street (1972)
The 1972 Yamaha XS2 650 is a classic motorcycle, part of the renowned XS650 series. This model is powered by a 653cc (39.8 cu in) four-stroke parallel twin-cylinder air-cooled engine, delivering 53 horsepower at 7,200 rpm. Known for its robust performance, the engine features a 360° crank angle and advanced unit construction with a horizontally split crankcase. The 1972 XS2 650 represented a significant evolution from its predecessors, the XS-1 and XS1-B. Key upgrades included the introduction of an electric start, a major convenience improvement over kick-start-only models. It also featured a new single disc brake on the front wheel, replacing the earlier drum brake for enhanced stopping power. Other notable changes encompassed different rear shocks, subtle carburetor adjustments, and cosmetic updates such as new paint schemes and the removal of front fork gaiters. There were no multiple distinct trims (e.g., "Sport" or "Touring") offered for the XS2 in 1972. FAQ:
Q: How do I ensure I select the correct parts for my 1972 Yamaha XS2 650?
