Which carburetor kit is listed for an early Yamaha SR500?

The linked carburetor rebuild kit lists SR500 1978–81. Match the carburetor actually fitted and review the included parts. A replacement carburetor needs a kit confirmed for that assembly.

What years do the SR500 fork seals cover?

The fork seals linked here list SR500 1978–79 and a 35 mm fork application. Read the complete dimensional specification and compare the removed seals. Their coverage is narrower than the 1978–81 carburetor and brake-kit examples.

Which engine gasket set is available for the SR500?

The Athena engine gasket set linked here lists SR500 1978–87. Compare the supplied gaskets with the repair you are planning. Oil seals and other components should be checked separately in the contents.

How do I order SR500 clutch plates?

The linked clutch plate and steel clutch plate each list SR500 1978–81 and are sold individually. Inspect the removed stack, identify the required plate types and dimensions, then order the quantity required for each type.

About the Yamaha SR500

Carburetor, gasket, clutch and chassis parts for Yamaha’s classic road-going single.

Introduced in 1978, the SR500 brought Yamaha’s XT500 design background to a road motorcycle. Its 499 cc air-cooled single used an overhead camshaft and two valves. For parts selection, the SR500 model application is the useful reference, particularly when a project has acquired a replacement carburetor, brake or front end.

Plan the carburetor, clutch and gasket work together

The carburetor and front master-cylinder kits below cover 1978–81, as do the individual clutch-plate examples. The Athena gasket set and fork seals have their own year ranges. A short repair list helps separate the kit contents, individually sold pieces and seals needed for each job.

Prepare for the repairIdentify your SR500 components

Read the carburetor and brake markings

Identify the fitted carburetor and front master cylinder before selecting their repair kits. A replacement assembly needs parts matched to its own design, even when the motorcycle’s model year falls within the listing.

Compare seals and clutch components

For forks, compare the complete seal dimensions and installed fork. For clutch work, record plate order and distinguish the steel plates from the other plates before deciding what to replace.
