2001 Yamaha SX 500R Service and Repair Manual

For the final year of the SX 500R, the code to match is SX500F, and the factory reference remains LIT-12618-SM-00.

Owners are sometimes surprised at how much this one manual holds. It was written for the 1997 to 2001 seasons and spans the SX 600R and SX 700R, Venture 500 and Venture 600, and the V Max range in its many forms, from the 500, 500 XT and the various 500 XTC builds, through the 600, 600 SX, 600 XT and the 600 XTC and XTR versions with electric start or reverse, up to the 700 and 700 SX.

Using it on an SX500F

• Match the code first, then read the procedure
• Torque figures and service limits are given as Yamaha specified them
• Wiring and troubleshooting sections cover the shared electrical architecture
