Yamaha SR500 Caferacer / Street Tracker Build in Time Lapse from Start to finish. 

Thank you !!!

Thank you. To be honest, I'm a little surprised too. I get really nasty messages from people who don't like the end result. They just don't like the "end result". And that's why they condemn all my work. But this is not about the result. It's about the many many steps that led to the result. I have answered some of them. I told them that their result can look different and that is then of course OK. But many are really deeply shocked that I could convert such a beautiful motorcycle so. I do not understand it either.

Thank you so much!

Grazie mille.È stato un lavoro molto impegnativo. Ma è stato anche molto divertente. I migliori saluti da Berlino.

Thanx!

Sehr gerne!

Thanks !!!

Thanx!

I think that's a good idea. You need very little space. You don't need so many tools. You can take your time. Sit together with friends for hours. Even sometimes, to do nothing meaningful. It's great. Lots of fun.

Hello!

Thank you very much. This was actually a very nice project as well and a lot of fun to build.

That is a matter of taste, I would say. Sure you can see it as negative as you do. But, you could also say "I got an unkempt run-down broken motorcycle and with a lot of work and a lot of love I made a custom motorcycle out of it" ... But as I said ... it's a matter of taste.

Dan lari!

Of course I know that. I specifically didn't build a cafe racer. Because everyone calls their conversion that.

I have a 1978 500 got it about nine years ago with about 63,000 kilometres on it and I've done another 80,000 in the time I've owned it Are you sure it's a carburettor problem ? You find information in a manual and on line about tests for the magneto, you only need a multimeter to do the tests Have you checked the timing with a timing light ? There is a small round piece on the outside of the flywheel and a part on the inside of the case that corresponds with it, check they are both clean and they have the specified clearance Soon after getting my bike I fitted a simpler VM36 Mikuni that came properly jetted for an SR500 I fitted it along with a new manifold and I found a rubber tube (on the side of the road) that I think must have fallen of a car that I shortened and works perfectly to connect the VM36 to the original SR air cleaner box I made an outer cable from one of the two originals but used both of the metal angled tubes from the throttle ends of the two cables and fitted one at each end of the cable I made up, I cut the flared end off the tube at the carburettor end and it then fits neatly into the brass cable fitting in the top of the Mikuni, the extra angled tube gives it the slightly extra length it needed and allowed it to clear the tight fit near the frame above the carburettor nicely, it's a tight fit and to remove the top of the carburettor you have to loosen the clamp on the manifold and lean the carburettor over to the left for clearance if you say had to remove the cable for some reason The SR inner cables were too short to use so I made one from a bicycle brake inner cable It works well powers on doesn't backfire and idles nicely and I must have done at least 75,000 kilometres without any problems I know they aren't really cheap but maybe you should bite the bullet and simply buy a pre-jetted VM36 Mikuni I got mine off US e bay Or there is a lot of information available about tuning Mikuni carburettors on line Maybe contact Mikuni of some place that sells them specifically for SRs and see if you could either buy a set of the correct jets and parts or at least find the part numbers of the correct jets and things to compare to the parts fitted to your carburettor But as I said if you can verified the problem isn't electrical and you want to save the pain and do some pleasurable riding get a new pre-jetted VM36 Another idea is if you happen to know someone with a similar SR and they're kind enough to allow you to borrow their known good carburettor, or say their CDI unit, and try it on your bike it would tell if the your carburettor is really the problem Wish you were here I've got my bike pulled apart at the moment and my VM36 is removed and sitting about eight feet away

Den habe ich von Kedo ...

@@NilsHomann die haben leider auch keine Maße angegeben.. Trotzdem danke 😊👍🏻

Yes, it looks a bit like that. but from the time a lot of steering locks look like that.

OK Aua .. aber jeder darf seine Meinung haben ...

@@NilsHomann nun die Yamaha SR 500 kann als optisch gelungenes Retro Style zur englischen Triumph gesehen werden und wird hier nur verunstaltet, schade für das Motorrad

Das hat gut geklappt mit meinem Heckumbau / alles eingetragen.

I didn't install the bearings I ground after all. I always use old bearings to drive in the new ones. And so that the old bearings do not get stuck over the new ones, that's why I machined the edges. The bearings are new, of course.

After all, this is very subjective, because the power is judged by each driver himself whether sufficient or not. And I agree with you about the 400cc version. Such a nonsense.

"Yes, but that's how it goes with a renovation. Don't worry - the parts will live on in other motorcycles and were mostly not salvageable."

Thank you. But it's not a restoration. It's a rebuild. You can tell by the fact that I didn't leave anything as it was before. But thanks anyway.
