I have a 1975 U.K XS650 and i'm looking through the Haynes manual for valve clearances sizes.the manual has sizes for XS1,XS2-inlet 0.15mm exhaust 0.30mm ,XS650B-inlet 0.05mm exhaust 0.10mm and XS650C-inlet 0.05mm exhaust 0.15mm
According to the back page of the manual the models covered (quote) Yamaha XS650 653cc UK 1975 to 1981.so what model would i use for the valve clearance settings?.

There's a great thread in the "How To" in The Vault on this topic. I'm about to do it myself.
