SR 500 purchase

    Hello pls let me know if some of the latest model of xs 500 are matching EU homologation?
    I would like to buy it in Germany because in Czech republic is very difficult to find some but EU homologation is needed to get Czech registration number. I am talking about a motocycle made from 1990-199....
    I would very appreciate a help.

    XS500 oder SR500? ?(


    The XS was made in the 70s, i think you mean the SR500... I´m pretty shure there´s no problem if the bike has run in another EU country, there should be the same laws in all EU countrys. In germany it´s easy when the bike is from inside the EU and you have the papers. - If it was legal in another EU country, it´s leagal in germany too. It should be the same in czech republic.
    The latest SR500 models don´t meet the EU homologation i think, Yamaha would import them...


    Bye, Marc

    Yes, i have meant SR 500, sorry for a inexcusable mistake on your forum=) .
    Thanks for info. I am gonna to check what is a situation in my country.
    What i heard, i can bring a motorcycle from EU max 8 years old or older
    but with EU global homologation it means there should be a letter E plus two
    numbers in front of VIN. If not there is also some a special procedure but a motorcycle has to
    originate from Yamaha dealer in Germany. It means that a concrete Yamaha SR was officially
    imported to Germany by a local Yamaha dealer, not personally from other country by a person.
    I hope SR 500 was officially inported to Germany.
    You see, it is not easy even within EU but may be just in my country X(
    I guess we have may 10 Yamaha SR 500 which are registred in Czech rep. but nobody
    wants to sell them. I uderstand why.After i become a SR owneri will establisch a Czech SR forum.
    Cross fingers!!

    yes the sr was officially imported to germany.


    Yes, officially until 1999 (the last once were built in 1998 and officially sold until 1999; but many of them were still standing in the shops for some more years until they were sold).

    Yes,it is complicated. Regarding an oldtimer registration it is easer. Has to be older 25 years and i need all papers from a moto. and contract of sale. That is all. Than we can use it like motobike with normal registration and even we pay cheaper insurance. I would like to get a normal reg. number
    but this is also way. By chance i found today a SR 500 with Czech registration!! I will try to attach a picture if is possible.I can not read a text in German language so if picture will not be attached,than sorry.It is made 1979, 62000 Km, 1200 Eur,RH mirror is missing, front and back turn lights also ( there are installed turn lights just on the ends of handle- bar and has alu rims which i would like to change for classic rims.I have a meeting with owner on Saturday because i am in Leipzig till Friday.
    So again couple of sleepless nights.:] Is there something special to check on motorbike? I mean a weak parts.
    What about the spare parts? Are they still reachable?
    Thnks for a forum link.

    ok, go via http://translate.google.com and check out motorang's bucheli project, in particular
    http://motorang.com/bucheli-projekt/potenziale.htm for weak spots etc...


    spare parts are easy to get, e.g. here: http://www.kedo.de , best bet is to get a second, cheap one for flogging...


    +60000k on the first piston - *could* mean trouble, check for exhaust fumes. rear sprocket holder shouldn't be too loose. check swing arm for wear. engine: excessive noise? evrything else can be repaired pretty cheap... good luck in leipzig :)


    max ~:)

    Yes that is what i will do . I will buy a other one for a low price.
    You know summertime is coming so i would rather ride a bike than start a overhaul.
    If it will be somehow usable i will plan a repair for winter.
    Any way i am still not alloved to ride a motocycle as doctor said so we will see.
    Last year i got a accident on MX motocycle after a been 5 months at home. This is my third working month after last summer and i still have a metal in arm.Ok, back to SR.
    I will let you know how is the motocycle when i will see it.
    A one cylinder, 500 cc, can not be bad. After season i will remove the engine,overhaul crankshaft, change all bearings, valves... That is what i like.


    Thnks for link.
