Yamaha Tmax 500 restoration from start to finish

This bike was a pain, but now it works and it is sweet!

[@KetilDuna]

That's a nice piece of work, and a vehicle deserving of the revival. Thank you for sharing!

[@nobbytart27]

As a 560 Tmax owner in the UK its obvious why KZbin brought me here, great video man and its almost like scooter ASMR 😁 you are right about working on them, the most mundane job involves taking half the thing apart lol, the bikes lucky to have you, enjoy

The windscreen can be revived by wet sanding with K600 and K800 and spraying 2K clear over it. Bravo for all the work done!

[@bigmikeshooter]

Really great job. Bravo from Greece.

Seeing other videos, it is mentioned the gas pump is an issue with Tmax's, they even had a recall. It is recommended you replace it with the 530 one.

[@motardsquid]

yes good point. Apparently if you order a fuel pump for the 500 it will be the 530 pump. can't comment on that other than i heard it on the internet :)

[@peterhoughton1731]

Its probably done more than 18k. Like all modern vehicles, far too complicated. Your a patience man, well done.

[@alfretonred]

Excellent job!

[@MotoRoUsa]

Hell yeah buddy can’t wait to ride it

[@florisnr11]

You always start with the engine, oil and filter and sparkplugs. Then all the other stuff.

[@mbk1251]

Clutch & counter weights and new belt

OMFG.. The water killed me! LMAO! I think I saw a fish in there!

[@motardsquid]

Yeah i wasn't expecting it. Insane how much was in there.

[@pablopc5807]

Good job!!! Did you manage to fix the key switch? Do you have a video of the process? I have the same problem with the switch and I don't know if it can be repaired.... Thanks!!

[@motardsquid]

Yes I did fix it. I have several videos on it. The contacts were corroded from sitting.

[@pablopc5807]

@@motardsquid Ok. I was looking at your profile and I didn't find any related video. I wanted to know how to disassemble it. Thank you very much.

The owner claimed it was stored inside of his house. His atrium, maybe. 😂😂😂

[@RoundOfApplauseChannel]

[@andrewbozhozr]
