XR500R Airbox Mod
This is an 1983 XR500R with the top of the airbox modified
for better air flow to the carburetor. The voltage
regulator has been relocated to the front of the
airbox water dam. The airbox water dam has been
trimmed between the voltage regulator and the frame
tube to make more room for the wiring loom to pass
through. |

Oil Supply Hose
The short hose coming from the frame tube supplies
oil to the engine. Use caution when replacing, it's
easily twisted. If twisted, it restricts the oil
flow and can ruin the engine. The oil drain plug,
lower front of the frame tube, is aluminum and easily
broken if over tightened.
Spark Plug Resistor
The spark plug has a resistor that causes a misfire when hot. Take it out and
substitute it for a piece of brass rod. |
