Yamaha XS description
1978 Yamaha XS500. Ready to ride! Pictures speak for themselves. Lots
of work done so it is ready to go. Everything works including electric
start. Has Supertrapp mufflers which sound awesome. Includes original
taillight assembly to return to stock. Has the factory oil filter conversion so filters are easy and inexpensive to replace. Bike needs nothing to ride.
These bikes are similar to the XS650 but know to handle better and are lighter. I like the look of them too. This was the last and best year of the 500's. New parts include: -Fresh full synthetic oil change and filter -New tires -Mike's XS new fuel petcocks, lines, and filters -Seat slightly modified and recovered -New taillight/brake assembly I am sure there is more that I am missing. Let me know if you have any questions. Bike is for sale locally. I have the right to end auction at any item as long as there are no open offers pending through Ebay. Thanks! |
