Waking Up a 1978 Yamaha XS650 After Winter Storage!

Waking Up a 1978 Yamaha XS650 After Winter Storage! #vintagemotorcycle #motorcyclerewind #xs650 Time to wake up the beast! In this episode, we roll the 1978 Yamaha XS650 out of winter hibernation and see if she'll fire back to life. A little fuel, a bit of spark, and a whole lot of stubborn optimism—just the usual recipe around here. After a quick check-up and a few kicks (both literal and figurative), we get the twin-cylinder classic up and running. Then it’s off for a spin to blow the dust off and remind this old Yamaha what freedom feels like. Nothing fancy—just wrenching, riding, and reviving vintage bikes like we do. 🛠️ Subscribe to Motorcycle Rewind for more revivals, adventures, tips, and stories from the garage.
