hi there, I just found an 81 sr 500 for sale near me that has been sittin for awhile, average amount of surface rust, it wouldn't roll, all eletronics where takin off because the guy was racing it back in the late 80's so all it has is a magneto, the motor did kick over and had some compresion....have you got the point yet? how much money is it going to take for me to get the motor to come back to life. Oh yeah he also said it has a 540 kit in it white bros pipe, throttle and carb kit. could someone that really knows what they're talkin about tell me what I'm getting myself into. He wants 500 for it but I'm thinkin 300 tops!
thanks,

Mate where abouts are you for starters??? If the motor has had some previous work done and is still o.k it most probably be worth the money. If you are in the U.S you most probably will have access to more second hand bits than those of us here in OZ so you may be able to bring it back to road reg. easily depending on how stripped it is.
The price of a rough SR here seems to be increasing every month it seems.Buy them while you can i guess!!!!
Alot of stuff off other yamahas of the same era fit the SR so a trip down to the local wrecking yard might be in order if you buy $$$$
Lots of info on this subject and lots of others on this site so sit back and enjoy.........
