Best place I have found for good cheap parts is ebay usa also try http://www.cmsnl.com/yamaha-tx500-1973-1975_model8476/partslist/ Ebay germany have a good selection but are way over priced. What condition was it in when you got it?
fatherg9 Posted March 26, 2010 Author Posted March 26, 2010 THE CONDITION IS COMPLETE BUT UNUSED. LIKE SOME ONE DROVE IT HOME AND IT IN A SHED 10 YEARS AGO. I HAVEN'T GOT TO FAR INTO IT BUT IT SEEMS TO HAVE GOOD COMPRESSION BUT WHEN I DRAINED THE FUEL TANK IT SMELLED TERRIBLE.
