About the Yamaha XS 750
The Yamaha XS 750 was Yamaha's characterful answer to the large four-cylinder machines of the late 1970s. Its air-cooled 747 cc inline triple has a distinctive beat and drives the rear wheel through a low-maintenance shaft. The 1T5 models combined touring comfort with sporting European styling, while later versions gained electronic ignition and detail improvements.
Today the XS 750 is an appealing classic, but age and parts availability demand careful inspection. Pay particular attention to second gear, the cam chain, carburettors, charging system and final-drive oil. Also verify that the exhaust, airbox and electrical system are original and complete. Registration years after actual production may reflect first registration or incorrect advertisement data. The selected images show an exact Yamaha XS 750 1T5.

What to check before buying
- Test second gear firmly under load; jumping out of gear points to worn engagement dogs or selector components.
- Listen cold and hot for cam-chain rattle and verify valve-clearance work and maintenance history.
- Inspect the carburettors, intake rubbers and tank for contamination, leaks or rust after long storage.
- Measure charging voltage and inspect the stator, regulator, fuse box and connectors for heat, corrosion and brittle wiring.
- Check final-drive oil, universal joint and bevel drive for leaks or play and inspect the exhaust for internal corrosion.
