Can you see them

looking good mate here is some pics of mine http://www.flickr.com/photos/44835158@N03/sets/72157624795769628/

how did you all go i am planning to rebuild my breaks and add a seccond disk to the left side what do you think.

how did you go ???

all i did was purchase a spare adaptor plate from ebay and turned down the trerd to fit a filter where the oring matches the seat on the adaptor and now i have an adaptor for a $3 oil filter form a hyundai excel. if you need any further info i can send you the thred sizes but its easer to buy an adaptor and a filter thake it to someone who knows how to use a lathe to turn down the origional thred to sute the new filter. filter http://www.car-stuff.com/carparts/hyundaiexcel19861989hastingshalf1441.html to be confirmed gasket on ebay or you could make one up to shave some cash. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/YAMAHA-TX500-XS500-TX-XS-500-OIL-FILTER-GASKET-NOS_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem5ad429654dQQitemZ390106539341QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

i would like to hear how you went with the new bearings mine need to be replaced aswell

do you guys have any pics im thinking of doing this to my xs500c and the pics would help

Just a recomendation for future when removing any shaft or bolt with a hammer put the nut back on but dont screw it in all the way so when you hit the end of the shaft/bolt you are hitting the nut insted and not the end of the bolt this will help with keeping the thred in good condition.

im no expert but i dont think so the cam chain tensioner on these bikes have a plastic surface which gets brittle over time just have a look.

there was one on ebay a week ago for an xs500 maby it l fit

anygague from a xs650 will work i have done this with my xs500c and has been speed tested with gps. also have fun pulling them apart as they are a sealed unit you need to pry them very slowly like a tin can. use ebay and mix n match componants. good luck mate.

mine is sort of similar but it is a loos baffle on the right exhaust. the 1975 xs500 is an xs500b i thought?

anyone got any more info on this???

all good i have a XS500c straight swap is fine

How idi you go ????
