So what is this 500 Yammy group?
How do groups work? Well, it's kind of like a separate area or room within the main site. Each group has a dedicated discussion forum where you can post or reply to posts, and a comment wall on which you can post a general comment or add a photo. Just keep it all in line with the group's theme. This group is for anyone into 500 Yamahas...

Hi All 500 groupies I just got my old 500 back from the shop and it now runs. It was an XT but I would like to set it up as a TT so i am looking for guards, some plastics etc. Was there any real difference in the engines ?
Any info would be very helpful

Well, I must admit I meant the thumpers when I started this group. I guess the SC500 was the FIRST 500, true enough. Funnily enough it wasn't until I got into VMX I even found out those things existed!
