That’s got to be a problem with the ignition points. I would whip the points cover off and spin the engine over so you can see what’s happening in there. Fingers crossed, they just need a clean
"these are all oxidated (oxidised) so I'ma just use the super thread impact stripper to get 'em out".. Problem is when you try to tighten them up again! Use some penetrating fluid, like WD40 or similar (other penetrating fluids are available!) and try gently turning them with a socket before you destroy all the threads! And, those coil terminals should be attached to the wires by flat bayonet connectiors not by a soldered connection, they wouldn't have come from Yamaha like that!

There's no points here, (CDI Ignition) but if there were it would probably be easier to fix, and cheaper!...
check the points and condenser ,or electronic ignition

Hello, i have the same bike but a 74mod. My bike stopped after work one day two years ago and i started to rebuild it now.
oh cool! good luck with the rebuild, you'll have to let me know how it goes
What year XS is that? I had no idea there were clutch and kickstand interlocks. I’m headed out to check those on our bike. Thank you.
1982! 🌹 What year is yours?

Dead starter motor, they can spin but be dead and pulling voltage so hard to diagnose 🤷🏼
if that's the case, maybe she can try to kick start it to test that theory. In other words, check for spark while kicking it over.
I hope theyve tried kicking it 😂
Or its not a clutch safety cut out (no clutch in, no start)
Lovin the boston accent regardless
Is there gas in it ?
LOL yes 🙈 imagine if it was that simple
