Who has a TX500 or an XS500 here on the Yamaha Owners Club forum …

How about JASO MA2 specification for oil which is intended for clutches that run in oil … I get to answer myself when I found the answers here https://yambits.co.uk/oils_parts_for_yamaha_xs500.html

What motor oil is recommended to use on the XS500 … Have some other old 4-strokes that I use 10W-40 Semi Synthetic JASO MA2 on that work very well.

Thanks for the tip on the decal set, have already ordered 2 sets in silver and 2 sets in gold, so we'll see which color I choose http://www.bike-stickers.com/homepage.htm

Does anyone have a good picture of the XS500 in this color scheme, black with gold or silver decals on the tank and side covers …

Who has the best selection of classic Yamaha parts for the XS500... Think it's best to buy from one shop to save shipping costs

Welcome to the forum

Picture of my Yamaha YZF-R1 5JJ which has been sold.

It doesn't look like the number of color schemes for the XS500 that were on sale in the 70s is important for what color I choose for my bike, as there aren't many complete decal sets for these to choose from.

Thanks for the answers and help, I'm using Google and all sales channels for all it's worth... But... I'm in the process of restoring a motorcycle that hasn't been on the road for more than ten years so there are a lot of parts on the shopping list and that there will surely be more.

The following year I got my license for light motorcycle and bought my second LS2 and in 1977 it became the RS100 which was a step down from the LS2.
