1977 yamaha xt500 xt 500 tt500 tt 500 1976 1978 1979 1980 Enduro

This motorcycle just came out of the garage after sitting since 2008 it has dents dings and wear all over. The engine has compressio, I haven'tchecked for spark or added any fuel, t is still as it was put away in 2008.I have pressure washed it. The prior owner said he was sent toAfghanistanin 2009 anddidn'tcome back for four yrs. before he left he had just installed a new rear tire and dumped fuel stabilizer in the tank butdidn'tdo anything else.He stated that the bike ran when parked and to get it to run now would most likely take fuel system cleaning, e also had a battery for the bike which he kept in the basement of his house.I didn'ttake the battery just because of its age. He stated that itdidn'tneed the battery to run it only needed it for the lights. I believe him because i have known him for about 7-8 months now and have never seen any reason not to.I bought the bike from him during a card game and no ididn'twin it. As for the condition it is a dirt bike that has been used on the dirt,I doubtit saw much street time even though it was licensed. Besides themaintenanceit will take to get it running it will need a chain and sprocket because the wear isobvious.i have a clear title and i am a licensed dealer. The title will have to betransferredinto the purchasers name and allappropriatefees paid.I am notwarrantinganything on this motorcycle.

HI EVERYONE TODAY I DECIDED TO SEE IF I COULD START THIS MOTORCYCLE. I FIRST PULLED THE SPARK PLUG AND KICKED IT OVER TO CHECK FOR SPARK IT HAS GREAT SPARK, PUT THE PLUG BACK IN AND SET THE CHOKE AND TURNED ON THE FUEL, HE TANK STILL HAS FUEL IN IT AND IT DIDNT SMELL LIKE VARNISH.I KICKED THE BIKE A HALF DOZEN TIMES AND GOT A SLIGHT POP OUT OF IT ONCE, HATS WHEN I NOTICED THE CARB LEAKING GAS ONTO MY FLOOR. I TURNED OF THE GAS AND AM LEAVING IT AT THAT. I TRULYBELIEVEA FUEL SYSTEM CLEAN AND A TUNE UP AND SHE WILL BE RUNNING. OH AND THERE IS A GLASS WINDOW ON THE HEAD ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ENGINE THAT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH GETTING IT STARTED BUT I AM NOT SURE HOW TO USE THAT FEATURE
