Thank you for a great video and a superb job restoring that old XT500! I am lucky enough to own a 1982 model that has just 8,000 kms on the clock. It's in great condition but not as nice as yours. It's a pity you can't work on mine as I live in South Africa. Keep up the great work - thank you! Neville
You´re welcome. You own a 1982 model with just only 8000km? Awesome! And that in a land where it belong! Nice. Would love to ride in Africa instead of Germany... ;-)
We are very lucky with our weather here - it's perfect for biking! You let me know if you ever want to travel to South Africa. I'll be happy to help you out! You can e-mail me directly on nevalancartwright@gmail.com. Take care my friend!
Una retrochimba lo único que les falta es la pechera el plato de aluminio que protege el motor por debajo de resto todo excelente felicitaciones yo tengo una que restaure modelo 78 la tengo desde el 96 y no la vendo por ninguna plata vivo en cali Colombia y he hido 2 veces a cartagena Santa Marta y no hay otra máquina como está leyenda es un mito
thank God...I was figuring that Yamaha would get destroyed and turned into some POC flat black bobber or scrambler that the youth like to build then try to pawn off as a "custom" for asinine money. Very nice job guys...
...super video...geiles teil,hab auch eine von 79`...als ich sie vor 20 jahren abstellte lief sie noch,habe auch vor sie zu restaurieren,sieht bei euch ja so einfach aus... lol.....wird wohl eine weile dauern....grüsse aus tirol und daumen hoch!!
@@Mandricity you are welcome. I watch all videos and enjoy in all of them. I event learn some things. And that is one of main reason why I start my 34L restoration :)
Tolles video Habe auch ne xt 600 3Tb und wollte den rahmen entrosten und neu lackieren+motor hättes du ein paar tipps wie man am besten anfängt bei auseinander bauen und schleifen ect?
This is the bike I was riding, I owned that model , year and make. a 14 year old girl stole he mom's car and ran a stop sign .. I lost my rt leg below my knee that night.. That's my bike!!
I can’t understand reason of such expensive and hard work with that piece of steel. New parts, paint, a lot of work hours with 2 men, wheels... This Yamaha must be a great value to the owner to pay for this work. However the result is outstanding!
@@castelblancoaeverd7709 don't think so, if it was a rare bonneville or some other classic, maybe, but xt 500 is a popular soft enduro, in my mind it is not one of great classic bikes (IMHO)
standing in the workshop with a beer in one hand and an overhauld bike part in the other, having a chat with your best buddy is priceless! But I know, not everyone understand that....
@@landbauer52 if you don`t know a 500xt as one of the greatest classic bikes....then you don`t know much about bikes.....she`s more or less the comeback of one cylinder 4 stroke bikes,the founder of enduros....
Superb video! Many thanks! That make us dream... Well, I'am about doing the same kind of work on a 125XL but man I will never compete with you. My question is : How did you come to having such clean parts?

Comme neuve !!!beau boulot les gars 😃 j'avais la même en blanche,ma première moto, sacrée bonne bécane, increvable,je l'ai vendue parce que j'en avais marre de me prendre des retours de kick dans le mollet gauche !!! Haha 😁 mais j'aimerais bien l'avoir encore...❤sniff!!!🤔

Super Arbeit! Das gleiche hab ich mit meiner XT 500 auch vor 10 Jahren gemacht! Einfach das beste Motorrad ever! Die gebe ich nie her!
Danke für das Lob!
Great job. I used to own an XT250 and the 500 was my dream but never got round to buying one. Thanks for the nostalgia!
you´re welcome

I am in the process of buying an XT 500 in Germany .( we don't have many in Denmark) Great video thanks
Thanks and good luck for finding a good one! (Still 180% tax in denmark? For helvede... ;-) )
@@Mandricity usually 0 % on these because of the high price in germany ( higher than New price in Denmark in 1979-1987 )
Ahh okay.
I found a Kawa 3 Zyl 2 stroke in Denmark thinking of buying it...
Very nice! I'm doing the same with my '84 Sr 500. Still in process. Almost done.
also cool bike!
Well done!
Toll gemacht Jungs, super Job!! Und ein tolles Bike auf die Strasse gebracht!!! Bravo!!!
Danke

This is so nice, thank you for video.
You are the first one! ;-) Thanks
@@Mandricity you are welcome.

34L ? Whow! The Legend one! Nice
I love your work !!!!!
I love it too.. ;-)
I just found a XT 600 TENERE 1VJ in a garden, It stayed there for 20 years. My dream is to restore it perfectly in the same way of doing.
1VJ ? That´s worth it !!
すばらしい！カッコイイ（very very good job。。）
thanks!
nice done!Ich hätte da noch eine BJ 1979, ohne goldene Felgen und ohne den silbernen Tank. Aber mit 3-mal treten geht's nicht - Vergaser
Na dann machen!
EXCELENTE
Tolles video Habe auch ne xt 600 3Tb und wollte den rahmen entrosten und neu lackieren+motor hättes du ein paar tipps wie man am besten anfängt bei auseinander bauen und schleifen ect?
Wir schleifen nicht, wir lassen strahlen und Kunststoffbeschichten.
Für´s auseinanderbauen gibts ja irgendwie keine Tips ausser einfach loslegen...
Music , I had one back in the day thanks guys
welcome
Well done guys 👍👍
Thanks
nice job...
Good job!!!! Excellent
Thanks
Cool! great work, no waffle
You were working so fast, I had to have a reefer :) but it wore off and had to have another :) what were we building? oh yea...pizza
quality restoration
Hallo, schöne Restauration! Hast du die Tachos selbst gemacht, oder sie irgendwohin versendet? Vielen Dank und Gruß aus Tschechien!
top restauriert n1 von xt 600
danke
common Boys , that deserves a mono at the end ,don't you think ! (probably why the engine was in such good nick , I didn't own it ! )
Hi, what is a "mono"?
Very nice!
GOOD JOB !
This is the bike I was riding, I owned that model , year and make. a 14 year old girl stole he mom's car and ran a stop sign ..
I lost my rt leg below my knee that night.. That's my bike!!
sorry to hear that
Very interesting😍
Bel lavoro!

Well, I'am about doing the same kind of work on a 125XL but man I will never compete with you. My question is : How did you come to having such clean parts?
Most of them sandblasted and new coated, some are new.
Most important thing at a restauration: Passion...
Super xxxtttt lo máximo por su acción

They still are
Hermos 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Great vid (with mute on !)

Amazing! I'm restoring a '77 XT500 now as well, so this was very enjoyable to watch. Love the sound track, very funny at times! May I ask what rims you used? They look like the reproduction gold rims from Kedo perhaps? My rims are dented and need replacement. Gold looks so good here.
Well observed! Reproduction gold rims from Kedo. The old ones were totally wrecked inside.
That was strange because from outside they looked okay...
its sounds like sad funeral music layin the poor Yamy to rest
yes, it was closed to rest when we got it...
Womit habt ihr gefilmt? Ich meine speziell den Zoom im Zeitraffer. Und was hattet ihr Materialkosten?
Gefilmt mit meiner alten Panasonic Digi.Videocam, der Zoom ist dann später im FinalCut entstanden.
Materialkosten fürs Moped? Ohne Kaufpreis ca 3000€
Das habt ihr aber echt gut gemacht!
Danke
Me fascinan estos vídeos
Alles Super gemacht, an der Biersorte soltet ihr noch arbeiten
Muhaha. Die nehmen wir ja nur als Montageständer. Trinken tun wir das Zeug nicht.... ;-)
