Boondawg Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Greetings! The above bike is why I just now joined the forum! I just picked up a 1977 Yamaha 500XT Enduro. She runs & drives preaty fine, for having 15,000 miles on her. All she is missing is the breatherbox (airfilter container), all 4 turn signals, the battery, and the plastic covers (number plates)from each side of the bike. But she'll still get down the road like a scalded dog! Next week I'm going to install an aftermarket airfilter, remount all 4 turn signals, put a battery in her, fabracate those plastic number plates, and then ride her for the rest of the short Alaska summer. This winter i'm going to rip her down and restore her to near factory condition. I would love to post some pictures for you guys of her, I just don't know how yet! Any advice on how to post pictures? Hope to get to know all of you very soon! Boondawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator YamaHead Posted April 25, 2006 Moderator Share Posted April 25, 2006 BoonDawg!.... fellow XT owner! I've been riding my 550 for over a year now with virtually NO probs The speedo quit working almost a year ago- with over 45,000 on it ......I figure it's got well over 50,000 on it @ the present....& now the tach gave up the ghost today! I'm pretty sure it's just the cable that went south with the tach.....but the speedo's themselves are notorious for failing mechanically. Those are the only real issues I've had with it.....rode it in the snow 3 or 4 times this winter.....great bike for that! Here's a site with good info that I found quite helpful .......The Admin there really knows XT's inside out! YamaThumps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
