Yamaha SR 500 $ 400.00

[warpedworm]

I have a '78 SR 500 for sale. $ 400.00
It has a bent valve, and will need a piston.
Engine is out of bike and taken apart.

There is some rust on fenders, etc. Bike has been sitting for years, but to the best of my knowledge all of the parts are with it.

Take a look at the pictures and contact me with any questions.

Thanks for looking.

Who is the DTTer that has elevated themselves to a higher god-like status by being intrepid enough to acquire a bike only posessed by the most fearless of the feared?..

pray tell I insist!!.. Who is it who has just joined the ranks of the most inner circle?... So that I can bestow access to the ultra super-secret section of the forum??...

oh god, not thrilled about the hating it part. I've got the engine apart and measured the piston it has a big bore kit on it bored to a 90mm. hope this doesn't mean trouble

no... I think that it will be prone to overheating.. Id put an oil cooler + a dual oil line feed to the intake & exhaust cams....
