Xs500

Hi,
Do my American mucker's have the Yamaha XS500 across the other side of the pond, if so does anyone know if the XS500 wheels are interchangeable with the 650.

The axles are the same diameters, that's about all I can tell you for sure. That means the wheels should fit in but you may need to fabricate custom spacers. The rear would be a nice upgrade because it has a cush drive on the sprocket. Stock 500 sprocket is 42 or 43T so that will definitely need changing. 500 spoke rear uses a 6 bolt sprocket so may accept the stock 650 one. 500 mag rear uses a 4 bolt sprocket so you may need a custom replacement.
