About the Yamaha XV500
Carburetor, fork and brake service for the listed XV500 years, plus the separate 1983 engine gasket application.
XV500 front and rear brake jobs use different friction parts: pads at the front and drum-brake shoes at the rear. Carburetor service has its own choices, including a rebuild kit and a separate float needle and seat. Yamaha’s XV500K parts catalog separates those assemblies and the shaft-drive components, helping you identify the part being replaced.
Keep the XV500 year range specific to each part
The carburetor kit, float valve, fork seals, front pads and rear shoes below list XV500 for 1983–1985. The engine gasket set lists XV500 for 1983. Keep that engine range separate, including when another product title also names the XV535.

Keep the 1983 engine gasket application separate from the 1983–1985 carburetor, brake and fork-service listings.

Identify your motorcycle before orderingXV500 identification checklist
Keep the frame and engine records together. Confirm the model year using documentation that matches the motorcycle’s market and full model designation.
- Record the complete Yamaha model code, frame identification and year from the motorcycle’s records.
- Record the engine marking independently if the motorcycle has been rebuilt or modified.
- Photograph carburetor markings and compare the float valve and bowl profile before selecting service parts.
- Identify front pads and rear shoes separately; compare removed fork-seal markings and dimensions with the product listing.
Contact PartsNMore with clear photos of the frame and engine markings and the component you need. Include any known replacements or modifications.
