Yamaha SR500 description

This is a restored/modified 1978 Yamaha SR500, the famous street version of the 500cc thumpers also built for TT, XT offroad models.  I bought the bike about 6 months ago from an Ebay seller on the East Coast who had just completed the restoration, and have since put 34 miles on it.  The mileage is estimated - the new gauges and speedo read 34 miles.  That's the reason I'm selling it - just can't find the time to get on the bike.  It is a super fun ride, has been updated with lots of new parts - tires, chain, brakes, paint and a number of customizations and extensive restoration, and I don't think it needs anything mechanically.   I have not registered it in California, but I can work with whatever needs to be done with the registration.  I can deliver the bike in a reasonable area around North County San Diego and I had it shipped in a few days when I bought it from the seller on the East Coast, so that is an option too.  Thanks for bidding.

Fri, 22 May 2009

Alright, maybe this isn’t for everyone, but I thought it was obscure enough to warrant some interest to any motorcyclist. TEZZMIN, a senior member over at the R6MessageNet forums, has posted a nice How-To on removing an ’03-’04 Yamaha R6 ‘s Air Induction System. What does the AIS do?
