About the Honda XL500

Honda XL500 carburetor rebuild kits, engine gaskets, fork seals and brake shoes for road-and-trail maintenance.

Honda Motorcycle Logo

Honda’s XL500 brought a four-valve, overhead-cam single to the dual-purpose class. The original XL500S paired its engine with twin rear shocks and a distinctive 23-inch front wheel. The XL500R moved to Pro-Link rear suspension and a 21-inch front wheel. Those changes matter when identifying a bike whose forks, wheels or bodywork have been replaced.

XL500S versus XL500R: carb kits, fork seals and brakes

The parts below cover XL500S 1979–1981 and XL500R 1982 applications. Both appear on the engine gasket set, but the carb kits and fork seals are different. The S uses the 35 mm oil seals; the R uses 37 mm seals. Brake shoes also depend on the wheel and year, so a single XL500 parts order can need several separate checks.

Model and year comparisonXL500 model and repair differences

Use the S/R chassis and service differences below to narrow a repair-parts search.

XL500S

1979–1981 service examples

The twin-shock S has its own carb kit and 35 mm fork-seal application. Its front and rear brake-shoe listings do not all cover the same years.

Before ordering: Keep the S suffix and brake position in the comparison.

Honda XL500S parts

XL500R

1982 service examples

The Pro-Link R uses a different carb kit and a 37 mm fork-seal application. A shared engine gasket listing does not establish shared suspension parts.

Before ordering: Match the R model before choosing chassis parts.

Honda XL500R parts

Modified motorcycles

Identify what is installed

An engine, fork or wheel swap can leave the frame and component applications different. Record the replacement assembly’s markings and dimensions.

Before ordering: Choose service parts for the assembly being repaired.

Prepare for the repairXL500 identification checklist

Record the model year, full factory code and installed components. Use the matching factory documentation to check frame and engine numbers.

Model and market

Read the complete frame identification and model-year information. Keep the selling market with your notes, especially on an imported XL500.

Engine and carburetor

Record the engine number separately and photograph the carburetor markings. Check the listed S or R application before selecting a rebuild kit.

Forks and brakes

Note the fork-tube size and the brake wheel position. The S and R oil seals have different dimensions; the rear-shoe listing does not establish front fitment.

Need help identifying your XL500?

Contact PartsNMore with the model year, complete model code and clear photographs of the relevant markings and component.

Honda XL500 parts questions

Do XL500S and XL500R use the same carburetor rebuild kit?
The kits shown here are separate: the XL500S kit covers 1979–1981 and the XL500R kit covers 1982. Confirm the markings on a replacement carburetor before choosing either kit.
What size fork seals fit the XL500S and XL500R?
The XL500S 1979–1981 oil seals measure 35 × 48 × 10.5/11 mm; the XL500R 1982 seals measure 37 × 50 × 11 mm. Both are sets of two. Measure the installed forks if they have been replaced.
Which XL500 brake shoes fit the front and rear wheels?
The front shoes cover XL500S 1981. The rear-shoe pair covers XL500S 1979–1980 and XL500R 1982. Choose by wheel position and year; these examples do not confirm another wheel or an unlisted year.
Does one engine gasket set cover both XL500S and XL500R?
The engine gasket set covers XL500S 1979–1981 and XL500R 1982. Check its contents against the joints you will open. Shared gasket coverage does not establish interchange for other engine parts or include every oil seal.
