On a 1983 Yamaha XS650, the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is typically located on the right side of the frame, near the steering head. You can usually find it stamped onto a flat area of the frame, just below the top tube. It's essential to clean the area carefully to read the VIN clearly, as it may be obscured by dirt or paint.

The Yamaha XS650 typically requires about 10.5 to 12 ounces (approximately 310 to 355 mL) of fork oil per leg, depending on the specific model and year. It's important to check the service manual for your particular model to ensure accurate measurements. Additionally, the type of fork oil and the desired performance characteristics can also affect the amount used. Always ensure to replace both sides to maintain balance and performance.
