Fun bike. I bought new a 1980 Yamaha XT 500 had it for 4 1/2 years and had a ton of fun with it. Lots of torque, pulled wheelies without having to try too hard. The guy I sold it to was a lot younger and a better dirt rider than me. He used to hold a wheelie for several blocks down the main drag in Poway. Change that muffler and put a Super Trap on it, sounds great and gives it more power. Certainly wish I still had it. Good luck with yours.
