Because there is very little info on the Yamaha TX/XS500 line of bikes on the web, I started a new blog in hopes of compiling info and tech tips in one easy to find place. I'm asking for help from those of you who own and have experience with these bikes to post tech tips, pictures of your bikes and useful information. You can follow the link in the good readin' links or click here to check it out. Any of you who care to participate in this new blog or link to it will be greatly appreciated. I will be posting all the updates on my XS500 there, everything else here.Or click on the banner and Join us at the TX/XS500 Forum.
Till Next Time.
