Cool video! What’s a fair price to pay for these Honda 82 xl500r’s?

[@WeekendHobbyMechanic]

Rough but running $500-1000. Not smoking $800-1200. Excellent condition $2000-4000

Hello, I am struggling to find camshaft and rockers for xl500s probably 1981. Can you help.

[@WeekendHobbyMechanic]

If you have a Facebook account look up Facebook group: “Honda XL250s, XL500s, XR250 & XR500 with 23’ inch front wheel only”. Or try eBay.

[@hendriklottering4768]

Hi I need help i can find parts on my Honda is a 1978. I don't know how to get the parts

[@WeekendHobbyMechanic]

I get my gasket kits on EBay or Amazon. Other parts on Facebook group called: XL250s, XL500s, XR250, XR500 with 23’ inch front wheel only. This site has lots but it’s overseas. www.cmsnl.com/honda-xl250-usa_model50530/partslist/#.Y_iaqxZE2_Y

How many miles on that bike?

[@WeekendHobbyMechanic]

I bought the bike with 3200km.

[@hendriklottering4768]

Need a timing chain and tansioner

[@WeekendHobbyMechanic]

None on eBay at the moment but keep checking, one will turn up. Did you join the Facebook group (Honda XL250s, XL500s, XR250, XR500 with 23inch front wheel onky) yet?

[@hendriklottering4768]

Engine is the same but it's a xl 250

[@battldogeurmum698]

So uhh what if my piston is sized from sitting 37 years? How do take apart 😂

[@WeekendHobbyMechanic]

Take the head off and add a bit of transmission oil on the piston and let it soak. Repeat this for a few days. Give it a tap with a soft face hammer. You will need to bore it out 0.010” over.

What manual do you have?

Clymer XL/XR 500-600 1979-1990
