Yamaha XT description

I am selling my 1980 Yamaha XT 250 (yeah, same model Rambo rode). I recently got a TW200 and it's time to depart with the trusty XT! When I got the bike (only a few hundred miles ago) it had been sitting so it has a new set of rings, fresh valve job, valves freshly adjusted (10 miles ago), cam chain retensioned, fuel filter added, tank treatment added, new Renthal chain and sprockets, new engine bolts (All Allen head), and new front brakes, tire, and inner tube. The tire and brakes are *not* shown in the pictures (taken before I installed it), but it is a Shinko SR244 tire which is very popular for dual sport riding! I run the the same tire on my TW and love it! The carb has recently been rebuilt with a new boot, accelerator pump diaphragm, and gaskets. The bike runs AMAZING! Kicks over in any weather with one kick and you can snap the throttle wide open from any speed once the engine is warm. It really pains me to see the bike go. It's massively reliable, surprisingly powerful, and very nimble in all situations. Cosmetically, the paint is faded, but very good condition given the age. The tank has ONE minor ding, but otherwise in great shape. Really is a fine example of one of the greatest Yamaha dual sports every made! I am somewhat firm on the price, but make me an offer and see what we can work out! Two keys included!  Clear Colorado title!! Street legal!!!!

Yamaha MT-10 SP Project Bike - Update 1

Thu, 26 Jan 2023

Everythings installed and initial impressions. It’s been about a month since we introduced Motorcycle.com’s 2022 Yamaha MT-10 SP semi-long-term project bike. In case you forgot the premise of this whole thing, Yamaha offered us the opportunity to hang on to an MT-10 SP for an extended period of time, and since I have a soft spot for the bike, I decided to give it some tasteful upgrades to address some key weaknesses while also unleashing some trapped potential.
