Used 1978 Yamaha SR500 Used

Seller Description

I built this SR500 in 2014 and it’s lived a great life but I rarely ride it anymore and these old bikes need to be run often. Over the past couple weeks I’ve done some maintenance so it’s fresh for the buyer. That includes:
- New Wiesco piston and rings, standard 87mm 12:1 bore.

Cylinder was honed of course.
- New Mikuni VM36 carb, jetted with 240main, 35pilot, P-8 needle jet and a 6DH3 needle for best condition
- New Uni foam air filter, already oiled
- Header re-wrapped and muffler repacked
- New front master cylinder
- New front and rear brakes
- Fresh fork oil and seals
Some other mods that I did from the initial build include:
- Custom subframe and seat
- Hagon shocks, progressive fork springs
- Drilled brake rotors and side cover
- Custom power coating and paint
- Stainless steel brake lines
- Stainless steel race twin oil feed lines to top end
- Simplified electrical system, no battery, uses capacitor
- Simple bates style headlight, hi/lo
- One-off LED indicators
- Firestone ANS tires
- Mikuni Oz short pull throttle cable
- New clutch plates
- Stainless steel valves
- Custom foot pegs, one-off passenger pegs relocation
- Oil temp filler cap
- Small bar switches
- One off skid plate
The bike starts easily and pulls very strong, it’s really a fun bike to rip around on. It gets you there real quick. Clear Texas title.
