Mein erstes Motorrad, für mich immer noch eine der schönsten Hard Enduros. TÜV für das Ding zu bekommen war fast unmöglich. Schön mal wieder Eine zu sehen. 👍🙋‍♂️

[@ienjoyworkingonmuddycars.9793]

Beautiful bike. I have an 83 500r myself. Still kicks like a mule to this day.

[@marcoermann2296]

I rebuild three of them years ago....there was no better play bike to bash around in the desert in Namibia😉

[@AussieSwagAdventures]

I use to love riding mine

[@ShaunSavage-kl9pd]

I want one of those engines for my honda 3 wheeler. A 500 x honda shouldve built one. Iam building a atc500r with 83 cr480 engine in first gen 250r frame right now.

[@joefletcher5617]

Great find. I just recently picked up an '82 xr500r in gray condition (minus the headlight and taillight). The rear shock is completely toast. I'm having a hard time finding a replacement, well I've found one locally for an '81 and for an '84. Do you know if either of these would work on mine? I read somewhere that these rear shocks are pretty year specific. Thanks

[@Ericf318318]

There is no replacement available. You need to rebuild the shock. Very easy. Parts are available from Racetech.

[@joefletcher5617]

@@Ericf318318 Really? Is it just for the '82? I was really hoping the replacement for am '81 or the '84 would fit. That sucks

[@Ericf318318]

@@joefletcher5617 81 82 are the same. Nothing else fits. The rebuilding is VERY easy.

[@joefletcher5617]

I'll take a look at the website for the rebuilt kit. Thanks again

Wanted to know if you had any luck locating parts for the bike. I'm building a one off and been wanting this engine for it. ( A friend has one in his bike and love the power delivery. ) So any help is appreciated.

[@Ericf318318]

Sure, join the Facebook group called XR500 Nation, it is all there.

Wow

[@Fieldyfan94]

Where did you buy the tank at?

[@Ericf318318]

It is a Clarke tank. It was on the bike when I bought it. Just gas tanks . Com sells them.

@@Ericf318318 ok thanks do you have a video on how to clean and set up a xr500r carb?

[@Ericf318318]

@@Fieldyfan94 nope but there is nothing special about it. Just do NOT alter the float height and set the air screw at 2 1/4 back from finger tight. That's all.

Who is Rob?

@@Ericf318318 I think he means "steals" he said "it robs a lot of power" And I think "robs" is being used like "robbery".

Well maybe where you are at it is.

XR500R is not street legal. That would be the XL500R.

[@Ericf318318]

No sir, this one is street legal. Registered individually by its first owner. I also own the first ever XR500R imported in France, in May 1981. I also got it registered for street use, legally, after much work. ;)

paint them both the same color black
