Yamaha XS description

Here is a great running XT500 that is completely stock. This bike fires right up, Engine sounds very good. accelerates smoothly. Fuel tank looks good inside and out. Clear instruments. Still has turn signals in place. Its a very nice bike that has been taken care of. Clean wheels and spokes, all original equipment still in place. Easy to see this bike has not been abused. Will need a rear tire. There is a repair on the left shoulder of the seat. The right side cover is held on with zip ties, should be replaced and the front fender is cracked towards the rear.  Some scratches on the bike but nothing you wouldn't expect from a 35 year old bike.

With just a few simple items fixed and a detail, this bike would be a beautiful Vintage XT500

Filling a void with an RD350LC

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

Last winter I managed to fill a void in my life when I stumbled on a very reasonably priced Yamaha RD350LC.  It was a tad scruffy, had the wrong exhausts but most importantly it was blue and white with all numbers matching.  I had the usual euphoria when the deal was done but I underestimated how much pleasure this particular purchase would continue to deliver another eight months down the line. The difference with this old bike is, instead of just taking it for the occasional ride I was talked into doing a full nut and bolt restoration.  Having never taking a bike apart completely before, initially it was quite daunting but I soon found the RD is easy to work on so it turned into a truly satisfying experience.  I’ve had some help from LC enthusiasts with the rebuild, however, the stripping, sourcing and organising was a total labour of love.  And call me sad but it has made me bond with this bike like no other which only adds to the feel good factor.  The bike cost £1800 and I’ve spent around £1000 but I reckon my mint Elsie is now worth a fair bit more.   I fancy rejuvenating a Fizzy  next time but there’s lots of other cheap 70’s and 80’s winter projects  out there so why not have a go yourself?
