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.

Rossi Makes Progress but Hayden Suffers Shoulder Setback
Wed, 01 Feb 2012Ducati continues to develop its Desmosedici GP12 MotoGP race bike, setting modest goals while trying to establish a good setup. Already trailing the other factory teams in development time for its race prototypes, Ducati continued to try to find good base settings for the GP12. Valentino Rossi achieved the team’s goal of lapping under two minutes and two seconds with a time of 2:01.886 while completing 44 laps on the second day of testing at Malaysia’s Sepang circuit.
AMA Supercross: 2012 Daytona Results
Mon, 12 Mar 2012James Stewart gave his 2012 AMA Supercross championship hopes a much needed boost with a big win in sloppy, muddy conditions at Daytona International Speedway. Heavy rains made the Ricky Carmichael-designed track in Daytona’s tri-oval section even more difficult than the GOAT conceived, with the terrain rough, choppy and rutted. Series point leader Ryan Villopoto became an early casualty of the track conditions, sliding outon the second corner.
Rossi’s Ranch: Valentino’s Personal Playground
Tue, 23 Jul 2013What does Valentino Rossi do when he’s not riding his Yamaha M1 around the best racetracks in the world? He relaxes at home in Tavullia, Italy, and rides motorcycles around his newly developed dirt track dubbed, “Rossi’s Ranch.” “It’s like a dream from when you’re a child,” says Rossi. “You hope at one moment you can buy your own racetrack.” It’s safe to say Rossi is financially stable enough at this moment in time to where he can make his childhood dream a reality.
