Hello all, just got a beaten up xt a couple months ago. Been doin some work and she's doin greaat. But heres the thing. It looks like a 1980-81, the guy told me it was an "82" , and the sticker on the frame says "mfd in 09-79, japan, (or something along those lines.) They obviously had no idea what they were sitting on 
I will post some pics in near future and hopefully someone can further explain. I have heard that because XT's were sent out to America a year before the UK, north American XT500's are 1 year ahead in cosmetics, which explains why when I type in a 1979 xt500, we get the white and red we all know and love. (mine is silver and black with white "Yamaha") black fenders. silver rims. and sexy A F.
Enjoy life and ride safe <3
