Yes Motornumber is PE01E-5202XXX and frame number is PD013204XXX

crome kickstarter and brake bedal, original???

Hello kurapy!

The frame, kickstarter and brake-pedal are original XL 500 "S".

The XR-engine is original not mounted in there, the motornumber has to be: PD 01.......

The "Flap Valve" is called a Reed Valve in English.
It was original in the XR500R to produce more torque at low RPM.
It was often removed by XR riders which gave the bike some more power at high RPM.
Enjoy your Hybrid bike!

The reed-valve is notorious for braking and spitting it parts into the engine. Not to funny. A lot of drivers tended to remove valve as a precaution. Particularly because it is said that the valve doesn't work very effectfully.

But it is a very rare part!
