Yesterday, the State Police did the VIN verification on my bike. Which was basically pointless and the Trooper agreed. The title, taxes and license fees today were $95 and I was out the door in about 40 minutes. Not bad.
The used Yamaha replacement cylinder and engine side covers have arrived. They look great and will work perfectly. The work on the SR500 will only be done periodically. Mostly when I have a little extra time. My riding buddies are excited for me to get the bike finished.
Last week was productive. I’ll admit that I went a little overboard and ordered new matching high-performance replacement rotors and pads from MetalGear in Australia. I have a few last pieces to order from MotoLanna. Surprisingly there are a great many parts available for the Yamaha SR, TT and XT motorcycles. Another future purchase will the Avon Trailrider tires.
A local shop will bore the cylinder, check the valve guides, seals and possibly port the head.
