Nice bike i had one when i was a kid.The only time Honda made money with those bikes was when they sold them cause after that, you would never spend a dime on parts, those things were bulletproof.

pete, my front one works horrible. .. I must change the cable and put new pads... the original ones was sitting in a backyard for decades, hahah... with a new cable and pads should be ok, ... also I have a xl500r 82 and the brakes are pretty good. no problem with the rear ones. :)

leousamx I got to ask how were those drum brakes on these ? My brother just bought one & they are terrible for that year of a Honda ! Usually Hondas had real good drum brakes & even my 74 Yamaha MX 360s brakes seemed much better ! I just want to know what your opinion is on them & if they were rated kind of poor for them at all ! I do know that later years they switched to disk as I had a 600r with that set up but I have never ridden a Honda that the brakes were as weak as these on my brothers 82 XR500r .I don't really like the rear cable to actuate the rear brake & it could be that but even with new shoes they seem inadequate at high speeds using both front & back ! Great Video by the way !

It was 1982..21 years old..1 year in the Airforce..stationed northwest fla..first time for credit..first time i learned what credit was..fort walton beach honda salesman says this brand new 82 xr500 is yours for 2200.00 and for 50.00 extra dollars ill put a street legal kit on it and a florda tag..i said.."whaaaaaaat".......before that was evan a thing..had a terryflex rear tire, scott face mask and used high point boots..i was cooler then f-14 mavarick and terminater combined..at least in my head..82 was a great year..its funny...i now have an 02 ktm 400 mxc thats been sitting in the backyard since 2005..with a little restoration i might be able to relive 82 all over again..i just wont go over 30 miles an hour..do they still make terryflex tires?..
