Anyone who maintains or restores an XT500 knows how important the condition of all installed elements is for a successful set-up.
We are proud to be able to offer all components of the XT500 intake system down to the last detail. The mounting kit for the replica air filter box alone has almost 50 individual parts. For a long time, the intake snorkel set was only available very rarely and second-hand. Now available from KEDO as a perfect replica in the store.
Here is a list of the most important components and sets:
The most common side effect of secondary air is that the engine speed slowly decreases when the throttle is released.
Exhaust bangs may also occur during sliding operation.
The throttle response is then also usually affected and the engine becomes very hot.
Leaks or cracked rubber elements often prevent the carburetor from being adjusted properly. A warped or melted air filter box, leaking filter plates - the list of causes is long.
In the carburetor itself, all channels must be clear and all seals intact. Often, after endless attempts at tuning, the only thing that helps is a general overhaul including the replacement of all wearing parts.
Here is a short list of the most common causes:
At this point, we would like to present only the most common air filters and the required cleaners and oils.
