Ok, let's see:
4 cyl...could be an XS1000. Can you see the steering head and get the VIN?
"YIC5"? I'm betting, but not my life, that your elderly eyes (no offense)
are deceiving you, and that's "YICS" you're seeing. I never can remember
what that stands for, but it's on the little unit attached to the carbs on
my XV500, too.
2500 cm3 is the oil capacity. Makes me think you're looking at an XS1100,
again.
None of the rest of this is much of an indicator of anything, tho, as it
could all be aftermarket.
