I have been a member of the
Yamaha XT500 TT500 Forum
since 2011. Most of the inspiration, help, advice and encouragement I received during this project has been from others in this friendly community. Thanks to them I have learned so much more about the XT500 and will no doubt continue to do so. I hope that these pages may help you or other XT/TT500 owners but I invite you to
join the forum
for the best and most up-to-date experience available.
