  1. Hi Gymi,

    I have some additional resources for you. There are currently two bike builds on dotheton.com. One is a TX500 and the other is an XS500. If you can't find them I can send you direct links.

    Also, there is a yahoo group for XS500 and other XS owners. However, they do have some good resources with some manuals for the 500 series. Again, I can find you the link... I have it on my home computer.

    Cheers,

    R.
