2024 Odessa Desert 100 on 1976 Yamaha XT 500 Vintage class 

Great video. Looked like a great event too. Just bought myself a 77.

great video, I have 77 xt500 burn orange color, with a Bassani exhaust sound the same, cool ride you have

That is a great motor and will take you up about anything, just have to ride it to the ability the bike will allow.

Nice ride, great conditions!

Bike sounds great. You'll have to show us the fixes.

Bike sounds great man, like it was idling the whole way!

nice i myself have a 76 xt500C and my nephew has one too i also have a few TT500's as well love these thumpers that dude that says change to the Suzuki PE swing arm is 100% correct and the IT forks or the more popular yz490 front end swap complete with the double leading brake shoe's

Nice man ! Consider throwing on some 43mm YZ or IT forks, Suzuki PE alloy swingarm and some good rear shocks. There's also a DIY out there on how to cut the backbone and bring draw back the steering stem angle.

Excellent . . Luved my XT500 with a supertrap

Nice job

Sweet ride love my 76 - dont you prefer higher pipe for racing ?
