Yamaha SR500 description
|
1979 Yamaha SR500 This SR was purchased from the original owner and came with several other bikes and parts. This particular bike he had started to make the bike into a cafe motorcycle. Since this one came with a clean original Pennsylvania title I decided to finish what he started. I like to keep this simple as possible and as clean as possible when doing any custom work. I used most of the parts he had sold in the package. The rear frame had already been cut in order to fit the seat/tail section that came with the bike. The fairing also came with the bike and is vintage from the 70's. I gave the parts to the painter and my only direction was a red metallic. This is what he came up with and I was told it started as Toyota red metallic and he added more flake so it is kind of a custom color. I did not do any work the the engine as it started and sounds strong. I was told this one does have a little more compression than stock. The stock carb was junk so I have installed a Mikuni VM34. I removed the stock throttle/controls and installed a Magura throttle. It has cafe style bars. It has the stock speedo and tach which both work. The left hand controls are stock so it still has the turn signal switch, horn button, hi/lo and decompression lever. I did not attach the decomp cable, personal preference. It can be installed no problem. I also have not installed turn signals but the wiring is still in place for front and rear. I decided to with a custom rear set for the pegs from Motolanna, not bad. For the exhaust I used the stock head pipe with a reverse cone muffler. This has minimal baffles and has a nice sound. It still runs with a battery. I have installed an LED rear bullet style running/brake light. The rear shocks are vintage Showa and have dampening adjustments. There are few other things that are new or custom as well. This bike turn out very well in my opinion. I have had this bike on a reliability run and the engine, clutch and gearbox all sound and work as they should.

Ben Spies talks MotoGP
Tue, 15 Jun 2010TECH 3 Yamaha man Ben Spies gives a fairly in-depth interview about Mugello MotoGP, his championship hopes and his riding style with On The Throttle TV. The multiple AMA superbike champ, who's racing for the first time on many of the MotoGP tracks, reveals he spends most of Friday practice learning the circuit, while others are focusing on set-up and fast lap times. Spies fan or not, it's well worth a watch.
AMA Supercross: 2012 New Orleans Results
Mon, 16 Apr 2012Ryan Villopoto has already secured the 2012 AMA Supercross Championship but that doesn’t mean he’s ready to let up and take it easy over the remainder of the season. The Monster Energy Kawasaki racer clinched his second consecutive title two weeks ago in Houston, Texas, but he continued his dominance in AMA Supercross’ return to New Orleans’ Superdome, taking the holeshot and leading all 20 laps for his ninth win of the season in 14 rounds. The New Orleans round may have lacked some big names currently nursing injuries such as Ryan Dungey, James Stewart and Chad Reed, but Villopoto provided a star effort in the first AMA Supercross race in the city since 2009.
The short but sweet life of the Yamaha R7
Tue, 17 Jan 2012I was reunited with an old friend recently, my 1999 Virgin Yamaha R7 Superbike. By the end of 1998 I had won three straight BSB titles with the Yamaha YZF750, when main sponsor Cadbury’s pulled out leaving zero funds for a title defence. Wanting desperately to ride the new R7 and thinking a replacement backer would instantly get on board I turned down quite a few offers including a juicy contract from Crescent Suzuki (Paul Denning always enjoys reminding me).
