1975 Yamaha TX500

This bike just rolled in yesterday. It’s in pretty good shape, but the engine is locked up tight. Hopefully it can be freed up and started but either way this motor is getting torn down. Unfortunately TX’s are few and far between, because of this replacement parts (particularly internal engine parts) will be difficult to source. Progess will be posted here.

    FatAndSassy – I’d be happy to answer your questions, but you didn’t ask any! Just match the look of your motor to the look of my motor and you’ll know right away. If it says Yamaha and it’s a DOHC twin cylinder from the 70’s, it is most likely a TX500.

    Cheers!

    Evan, very nice site. My brother and I are starting on a 1973 Yamaha TX500, same blue as yours. We are looking for the flywheel puller for this motor. Any ideas/advice much appreciated.
