This well-respected, iconic Tax & MOT exempt 1977 Yamaha XT500D Enduro has recently been imported from North America where it has spent all its life – the climate is far kinder to motorcycles than ours. This and the fact it's only showing 4699 miles and has been in dry storage for a considerable time have helped maintain its boyish good looks. While it looks entirely plausible, we have been unable to confirm this mileage reading. Please disregard it. PLEASE CHECKOUT THE PICTURES. Please study the pictures as they do form part of the description. As you can see this bike is complete & remarkably original. It has a few minor issues:- Battery is flat, Speedo cable is damaged, rear r/h indicator stem is broken & seat cover is showing signs of cracking. BUT NOW FOR THE GOOD NEWS. This is the actual bike you are bidding on – Not library pictures from 47 years ago & it is every bit as nice as it looks here.....A great find!. The wheels are straight with nice clean alloy rims, good hubs & brake plates, spokes & tyres. Forks & yokes look straight with good chrome under the gators & clean alloy. Mudguards are both solid & are tidy. Taillight assy is good as are the headlight & hangers. Instruments & switches are good. Carburettor is free sliding off the twist grip. Fuel tank is squeaky-clean inside and has minor imperfections in the original paint. Exhaust is original & again, near perfect condition. Indicators are tidy. Shock absorbers are damping fine. The engine is cosmetically very clean, it turns over nicely off the kick starter – sounds/feels great & has compression, BUT BEST OF ALL when we fed it fresh fuel, gave it a few prods it fires, starts, runs, revs & rides FANTASTIC!!!. This is only a very brief description….If you require any further information or more pictures please give us a call or message us.
