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.

Mon, 14 Apr 2014Ryan Villopoto won his fifth race of the season while James Stewart took second place to just barely remain in contention for the 2014 AMA Supercross title. Meanwhile it was a bitter-sweet podium for third-place finisher KTM‘s Ryan Dungey who was officially mathematically eliminated from title contention. Racing in his home town of Seattle, Wash., Villopoto led every lap en route to an easy win, his fifth of the season.
Magneti Marelli to Supply Electronics System to MotoGP Teams
Wed, 26 Sep 2012It’s no secret that promoter Dorna Motorsports has been trying to push a standardized electronics control unit for teams in the MotoGP World Championship. The lack of a top-tier electronics package has been one of the biggest challenges faced by MotoGP’s claiming rule teams, and a spec ECU would narrow the gap between the CRT bikes and the factory prototypes. The manufacturers competing in the series, Honda, Ducati and Yamaha, understandably are resistant to the idea considering the effort they’ve put in to develop their electronics systems.
Motorcycle Live and a few of my favourite things for 2013
Tue, 27 Nov 2012There is lots of shiny new metal on show at Motorcyclelive this year but for me it’s the new Triumph Daytona 675 that steals the show. We’ve been starved of brand new models in the Supersports segment for years but for me the latest Trumpet has made the wait worthwhile. And if its performance matches its looks then I reckon the 2013 bike of the year is a foregone conclusion. The sleek curvy nose contrasts perfectly with the more pointy angular rear end and new side mounted silencer. It is lighter, more powerful and revs harder with much work on on mass centralisation to further improve handling. Few of us have a whole lot of spare cash these days but £8899 for the standard model seems a fair price for such an awesome bike. That said I’d have to consider selling the granny and granddad to find the extra £1700 for the 675R. Available early next year, and surely the perfect all round track day tool, this beauty comes with upgraded suspension, brakes, ABS, a quickshifter and some nice carbon detailing. The white 675R on display at the show looked even better in the flesh than previous images I’d seen so be careful or you might find yourself handing over a deposit. With no money left from the Triumph stand you’ll need your six special numbers to come up for my second favourite show item the AGV Pista GP Project 46. Although road legal this extremely light, full carbon helmet is designed especially for racing with a huge field of vision, extensive ventilation and superb ergonomics. It also comes with earplugs which suggests there may be some compromise in the noise department but it is still an incredible piece of engineering. At £799, this special Pista is also an incredible price but there will only be one hundred available and Raceways Yamaha reckon they are going fast.
