The '''[[Benelli]] 500 LS''' was a in-line four, [[four-stroke]] Naked [[motorcycle]] produced by [[Benelli]] between 1973 and 1980. It could reach a top speed of 107 mph (173 km/h). Max [[torque]] was 25.08 ft/lbs (34.0 Nm) @ 9300 RPM. Claimed [[horsepower]] was 43.05 HP (32.1 KW) @ 8500 RPM. | |||
==Engine== | |||
The engine was a [[air cooled]] in-line four, four-stroke. A 56.0mm [[bore]] x 50.6mm [[stroke]] result in a [[displacement]] of just 498.0 cubic centimeters. Fuel was supplied via a overhead cams (ohc). | |||
==Drive== | |||
The bike has a 5-speed transmission. Power was moderated via the wet multi-disc, manual. | |||
==Chassis== | |||
It came with a 3.50-18 front [[tire]] and a 4.10-18 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via dual disc in the front and a expanding [[brake]] in the rear.
