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.

Day 7 Dakar 2014: Barreda Wins Another
Mon, 13 Jan 2014After a day of rest, Sunday’s stage seven was characterized by rain during the night and a new Dakar country – Bolivia. After an early start at 4:30 in the morning, the first 62 miles of the special stage into Bolivia had to be shortened due to rain and poor visibility, low-hanging clouds that prevented the helicopters from taking off creating security issues. The route led across the Andes and towards the Bolivian border.
French Moto Website Anticipates Versys 1000 at EICMA 2011
Mon, 24 Oct 2011Musings of a liter-size engined Kawasaki Versys have circulated the web for a few years now, as loyalists of the likable Versys 650, as well as displacement-driven riders waiting in the wings, have pondered the potential of a more powerful adventure bike from Kawasaki that’s in the same league as BMW’s R1200GS and Yamaha’s Super Tenere. Alas, nothing of the sort has ever left the lips of Kawasaki, let alone go into production. Recently, however, the French motorcycle website, Moto-net.com, has produced convincing images that appear like photos of a complete Versys 1000, including matching hard luggage.
