About this 1978 Yamaha XT500

VIN: 1E6200842

For Sale: 1978 Yamaha XT500 - Fully Loaded, a classic ride in great condition! This bike has been upgraded with a brand-new pre-jetted Mikuni 36mm TM Series Flat Slide Performance Carburetor from The Vintage Spoke, tailored specifically for the XT500. It runs smooth and is ready to hit the road!!. Located in Charlotte Nc.

The only issue I purchased a Handlebar Switch with a 6 prong that didn't fit even though the description said it was for xt500, the motorcycle needs a 4 prong but it's an easy fix or switch and it only cost like $30 to buy, I attached a picture of the Handlebar Switch that i purchased.
