About this model
About the Yamaha XJ 500
The Yamaha XJ500 is a rare 499cc four-cylinder roadster from 1983, developed for the Austrian market because of tax and insurance thresholds. It is technically related to the XJ550 but has its own 499cc identity and does not belong to the later XJ600 family. On every example, verify frame code 5N4, engine code, registration and actual displacement. Due to limited market distribution, correct parts, original exhaust and documentation matter for both restoration and value.

Before you buy
What to check before buying
- Verify 5N4 frame number, registration and 499cc engine: confusion with XJ550 and XJ600 is possible.
- Inspect all four carburettors, intake rubbers and tank for leaks, ageing and even running.
- Check valve clearance, cam-chain noise and oil leaks; service history is especially important on a rare model.
- Test gearbox, clutch, chain and brakes for wear and correct operation.
- Confirm availability of 500-specific parts, exhaust and documentation in advance; not everything from the XJ550 fits automatically.
