Wanted Yamaha TX 500 Parts

[Universal48]

Yes, I am misguided, but am keen to hear from anyone with parts, maybe even a complete unit - need not be running.

I think you may have the only one left,after the TX750,it was sorta expected that the 500 would walk in it's footstep.I'd really like to see one again,I've forgotten what they looked like,what the motor was like - how about you remind me and educate these people here about the bike the world forgot....

.. and educate these people here about the bike the world forgot....

With good reason. A mate had one from new and was hugely relieved when it was stolen........poor misguided fools.....

When I compare it to my other bike, a 1951 BSA 250 that has a whole 7kw of power available, the TX is a new world! The bike is complete and runs well, and while parts are freely available ex US - the freight's a killer.

Having previously owned a mint TX 650B, I know not everyone is able to appreciate the hidden virtues of a Yamaha 4 stroke twin.

I just sold my 1971 XS1 after 15 yrs of ownership,also rode an M20 for years - try me....
