@urbanrider51 Couldnt afford one??? Dude... I dont knowabout your country but these are seriously saught after bikes only 10 are for sale in NSW in australia I can find.... Ima buy one... 6-7 grand for a decent clean one........ These are more expensive in comparrison to Harleys n I reckon they sound as good if not better... and WAY more reliable!

@seafood360 Good question. The tank and seat unit were like that when I bought it. 2 owners prior to me it was painted like that and I can only assume he was a HD fan but couldn't afford one! The work I did was to completely re-wire the bike, fabricate the headlight, powder coat the frame and wheels and a few other small bits.

how did you hook up the back wheel?.... dont they come with a 16" wheel? did you have to adapt a xs 750 or 1100 rear wheel with an adaptor for the sprocket?? do tell

UrbanRider.co.uk commented on 20 Sep 2010

@emma072203 Yes, the original is 16", you can get a conversion kit quite easily. I just can't find a link right now!

@emma072203 those are xs500 wheels they had the same mag wheels as the 750 but were a chain drive bike.

your viewers respectfully request a view of the old piston once ya get it out. see if its scored or and detonation on top. are you goin over any in cc on the new rings or piston? will you take the head to a hone shop or will you redo the bore of the cylinder on your own drill press? thats the thing about the older stuff vs. the newer stuff. planned obsolescence... those old hondas n yamahas run forever. the new fuel injected 4 cylinder yadda yaddas are a shop bill waitin to happen.

its just to funny, i had the exakt same problem when working in a xt500 some years ago (the problem turned out to be in the electronic ignition) and even funnyer: just today (right now) actualy i am leafing to head to my fathers house to change a cardan joint in a moto guzzi and i just (5 minutes ago) loadet ball end allnrenches in my car to get of the valve cover to adjust the valves and its a pain in the but to get the cover down without the little ballthings...

I bought a klr650 a couple years ago with a bad piston and cylinder. I fixed it with no previous experience. The single cylinder is simple. They don't have cam bearings though, just aluminum surfaces on the head. I think that's their only weakness because if you need a new head its going to cost you 4-600 dollars. Good work.

Thanks. I had a Honda 500 going to school. You are a man of many talents Sir. I would like to keep taging along with you. I might learn a thing or two. How are your dogs? Their names please. I don't think Mom has any interest in this subject. Say Hi.

Very nice video. I love my SR 500 and it looked just like yours before i made it into a yellow cafe racer. Lots of small mods on mine. Not comfertable at all but very cool to ride and people seem too like the look.

oldschooldirtbiker commented on 05 Jul 2013

Thanks for the video.I love the old Yamaha 500's also.I love that you have left them bone stock.Now you need to get you a Hodaka Road Toad to go with the Yamaha's.

wyattoneable commented on 05 Jul 2013

I found a used ball Allen set from Snap-on and they are one of the tools I go to first when working on my Harley. You got some toys for sure!

TheMotorick commented on 05 Jul 2013

Thanks for the video. I'm big into motorcycles, and while I enjoy all your vids, I was happily surprised to see this one.

1978 XT TT500 White Brothers Supertrapp

My 1978 TT500. It is a cross of XT and TT parts. Exhaust is the White Brothers Supertrapp system and just a 36mm Mikuni carb. Running a bit rich though.

We have a bunch of XTs and TTs, parts are everywhere on Ebay, tons of them, if you look real good you find the same parts for a lot of money or if you keep lloking you will find them for much less, good luck!

urbanfireblade commented on 15 Aug 2011

I just picked up a FLOW reverse megaphone today for my 77' TT500D I'm restoring for CALVMX/AMR series here in SoCal. Can't wait to get it and make some noise on the track!
