About the Yamaha XT500

Carburetor, engine and fork parts for Yamaha’s classic trail single.

Yamaha introduced the XT500 in 1976 as a street-legal trail motorcycle developed from the TT500, using an air-cooled four-stroke single. Its relationship with TT and SR models is useful background for a restoration, but each shared part still needs an explicit XT500 application.

XT500 gasket-set contents and year coverage come first

Engine work offers a useful comparison: the overhaul gasket set below covers 1976–1981, while the Athena set covers 1976–1983. The carburetor kit and fork seals cover 1976–1981; the intake-manifold set starts at 1978. Keep those ranges attached to the individual parts when assembling the order.

Use these model and component differences to narrow the correct parts for your motorcycle.

Engine gaskets

Two different years

The overhaul gasket-set example fits XT500 1976–1981. The Athena engine gasket set fits 1976–1983.

Parts checkpoint: Compare both application and package contents for the work planned.

Carburetor intake

1978–1981 example

The intake-manifold set below fits XT500 1978–1981. The carburetor kit’s earlier start year does not expand that coverage.

Parts checkpoint: Match the manifold, carburetor and engine-side mounting.

Front fork

36 × 48 × 10.5 mm seals

The fork oil seals fit XT500 1976–1981 and are supplied as a set of two.

Parts checkpoint: Confirm the actual fork and all removed-seal dimensions.

Handlebars, mirrors and custom controls
