Does anyone have a yamaha 650 and sidecar setup not the vstar the
older like in the late 70s or early 80s if so I would like to hear
how this has worked out and what kind of sc you have. I love this
forum.

Thanks Satch

1972 XS2 with Velorex 562. Fore years Velorex used to advertise the 562 yoked to an XS650.


Great little set-up. Enjoyed it immensely!

One of the favorite combo's is the XJ of XS with a 562 Velorex or URAL mounted. A fun inexpensive way to start out your sidecar experience.
They will run at hiway speeds but have a fairly short range due to fuel limitations. That is easily remedied however.

You can probably see examples in my Albums here.

Thanks very much to HACK'N and URAL3WHEELS for the info and photos.
I had A 1981 650 and backedtracked in life to some of my childhood
homes and as I recall the bike was A pleasure to ride and with the
occasional chain adj. and oil changes I had little problems. Here
where I live you do not see many rigs in fact the only person I know
who has one has an Enfield rig and his advice is like the xmas story
you dont need one you will shoot your eye out. I just consider the
source. Agian Thanks Satch
