Vehicle Information
Yamaha XS500 Motorcycle - Street (1975-1978)
The Yamaha XS500, produced from 1975 to 1978, is an iconic motorcycle powered by a 498cc or 499cc DOHC parallel-twin engine. This model, known for its air-cooled engine, was designed to offer a balanced riding experience, building on lessons learned from its predecessors. While the XS500 did not feature distinct "trims" in the modern sense, it received significant yearly updates. 1976 (XS500C) brought a major redesign, introducing new Mikuni carburetors, a reshaped fuel tank and side panels, alloy wheels, and a rear disc brake. The cylinder and cam boxes were cast as a single unit to address oil leak issues. In 1977 (XS500D), automatic balance shaft chain adjustment was implemented, improving maintenance. These evolutions aimed to correct weaknesses of previous models and enhance reliability and performance. Q : How can I ensure parts fit my Yamaha XS500?
