Yamaha XS description

 1978 Yamaha XS500. Ready to ride! Pictures speak for themselves. Lots of work done so it is ready to go. Everything works including electric start. Has Supertrapp mufflers which sound awesome. Includes original taillight assembly to return to stock. Has the factory oil filter conversion so filters are easy and inexpensive to replace.  Bike needs nothing to ride.

These bikes are similar to the XS650 but know to handle better and are lighter. I like the look of them too. This was the last and best year of the 500's.

New parts include:

-Fresh full synthetic oil change and filter
-New tires
-Mike's XS new fuel petcocks, lines, and filters
-Seat slightly modified and recovered
-New taillight/brake assembly

I am sure there is more that I am missing. Let me know if you have any questions.

Bike is for sale locally.  I have the right to end auction at any item as long as there are no open offers pending through Ebay.  Thanks!

Are Motorcycles Safer With Antilock Brakes?

Tue, 30 Dec 2008

A new report says riders with ABS-equipped bikes can dramatically reduce the chance of a fatal accident. The study compared fatality rates among riders on bikes that have antilock brakes, and it found that death rates were 38% lower on motorcycles equipped with the optional ABS systems compared to non-ABS bikes. In 2005-2006, the fatal crashes per 10,000 registered motorcycles without antilock brakes was 6.6.
