 Yamaha XT500 XT500H XT 500 1981

I have to sell my XT500H, 1981. It has 3300-some miles on it at this posting, and runs really great. The entire ignition system is brand-new - pulse coil, CDI, HT coil, and spark plug. New rectifier as well. Recently replaced Pulse Coil, with Yamaha OEM genuine part, by the lead mechanic at a local shop/dealership, and replaced the rest of the ignition system at the same time.  It starts and runs reliably. The original ignition coil and CDI, presumably good, go with the bike, as well as the other original parts I've replaced. I put all-new cables on - except the compression release cable - and the original clutch and front brake cables are still good. The carb I put on it is the flat-sided Mikuni from The Vintage Spoke (as is everything else I bought for the bike) supposed to give a little better performance. New petcock on the tank, new handgrips, new ignition switch. It has a K&N air filter, a square one like the original, even uses the original bracket in the airbox.
It has a Hi-Flo oil filter, with Amsoil 20W-50 in it. I had never spent $15 a quart on oil before!

Original carb leaked, so I replaced the whole thing - it ran fine, but leaked when engine was off. Needs a rebuild, or just the main gasket, but it works fine. All original parts I've retained and go with, including the original owners manual, and the Clymer shop manual I bought for it.  Original air filter is there as well.

I really don't want to part with this bike, it runs perfectly, and has nearly everything replaced on it to restore it to original condition and function.

I think I must be forgetting some item here, but I've replaced everything I thought needed to be replaced just for confidence and peace of mind, so I can ride without fear of a break-down do to an aging component. The tank is nearly perfect, a very slight dimple on each side of the tank, but very small, hard to find in the pics. The paint on it is great, the side-plates are in great shape. Email me if you want other info, thanks.

Youtube videos available to take a look at it, hear it running.
