Help! I have acquired a 1983 XV500 but I am VERY confused about all the fuel/vacuum lines. I there a simple schematic that will help me?

Only ever worked on old Brit bikes before – they only have 1 fuel pipe!

Thank you.

Hi Andrew

I’ve no idea about vacuum lines but this web site from Fowlers of Bristol may help you. There are 2 XV500 models for 1983. Not sure what the difference is.

Cheers Colin
