Absolutely love them , perfect for the den/man cave , the wife not so much ! I think I have enough spare parts to to build a SR 500 combination table with a lamp with a small battery powered clock where the kick indicator goes. A perfect next winter project !

Just curious : What was it made you retire your SR-500 ? That is one of the bikes I never got , that I would have , if I had it to do over again .

MM , It's only in semi retirement. When I moved from the Bay Area to the Central Valley I only road my dirt bike. It's goin need some new hoses and tires to be road worthy. Then I bought my sportster so there it sits. My other SR left my stranded about 3 miles from home on a 95 degree day when the stator failed. Pushing a 380 lb bike 3 miles in 95 degree heat kinda pissed me off. So it will get the stator rewound before it goes anywhere.Sold the other SR a few years back after it got a rewound stator to a guy in Texas and last I heard he still rides it Dailey !

I have had THREE (3) Yamaha s in my life and all three have died from Alternator problems ... because of the wound rotors w/brushes, They do have powerful Alternators ... now here is a story of a burned out stator even after the SR500 had a permanent magnate rotor . Even the new SR-400 has the wound rotor and brushes ... will they ever learn ???
so I guess its best I never got a FOURTH !
Thanks .

MM , SRs are great bikes and the older ones didn't have brushes like the newer SR 400s , but the 500s had 2 problems the cdi was problematic but the stators were the real problem. I owned six running SRs and two or three parts bikes. There is a guy in the UK that makes a cdi , another guy in Georgia that rewinds the stators , and a complete ignition system for them too. The one I still own has wiesco h/c piston 518 cc mega cycle cam,mikuni vm36 & header with a super trapp with oil cooler , dual drilled front discs and the list goes on and on and on. It's return is nearing must finish the tracker and another bike before it sees light again.

So what kind of an end table do you need to hold up a 90 pound single cylinder lamp?

Oh I have boxes & boxes of SR engines so I can assemble a totally gutted engine with some nice patina , it should be much lighter that way !

Thanks Serowbot! Now you've given me lots of ideas of how I can get in trouble!

Wheel and tire on a stand, laid flat, glass top with a hole for the axle, extended up to a shower head with a bulb in it.
