wes0778 Posted September 7, 2009 Share #2 Posted September 7, 2009 Nice Bike!!! And the ignition key is not in the heat like mine, but I hope they don't start it, 'cause there is no oil in the sight glass... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thumper1 Posted September 7, 2009 Share #9 Posted September 7, 2009 i've owned 4 of those things over the last thirty years and had a great time on every one. except for the cam chain problems that always developed they were fun bikes. ride safe and be cool, thumper1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOO Posted September 8, 2009 Share #10 Posted September 8, 2009 Yep Yep I had one of those also, 1978 650 special, not "heritage" just a special and the color was a purple sort of. Nice little bike, put several thousand miles on it, bout like riding a Triumph or BSA but fun. Mine had a chain oiler---actually a seal was leaking on the shaft of the primary sprocket and it would sling oil all over the back of my tee short or whatever I happen to be wearing. Kept the chain oiled though. Also had a 1100 midnight special but that's for another thread. BOO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tx2sturgis Posted June 29, 2010 Share #11 Posted June 29, 2010 Nice Bike!!! And the ignition key is not in the heat like mine, but I hope they don't start it, 'cause there is no oil in the sight glass... Wow...yep good eye, but the bike was leaning pretty far to the left, thats a sloping drive there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonRider Posted June 29, 2010 Share #12 Posted June 29, 2010 One of the best looking bikes Yamaha ever built...........they ought to do a retro, I bet it would be a big seller for beginners and those who had one and wished they hadn't sold it......:doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOO Posted June 29, 2010 Share #13 Posted June 29, 2010 Interesting that this came to the top again. I noticed the local dealer has one also and it's in the color I had. It is for sale, $3,500.00. Think I paid around $500 for mine with some 6,000 miles of course it was a few years ago. BOO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
