YZ360A Magazine Tests?
« on: July 19, 2013, 05:55:22 am »
Anyone have or know which issues might have tests of the 1974 YZ360A?  I have a few on the YZ250A, but can't seem to find any on the YZ360A.  Thanks!

hi, motocross action november 73 issue has a 12 page dual test on the yz250a and 360a.  Cycle,Cycle World,popular cycling,motorcyclist,Dirt bike and cycle guide all ignored the yz360a during 1973 and 74. I have most of the 73/74 modern cycle ,cycle illustrated,dirt cycle,cycle rider and early dirt rider and no 360a tests. Cycle december 73 issue dynoed the yz250a-26.85 rear wheel hp @ 7500,and 19.49 ft/lbs @7000.
yz250a hp figures,   9.41@4000  10.87@4500  12.33@5000  15.12@5500  19.27@6000  23.57@6500  26.00@7000 and 26.85@7500
-may cause some debate. cheers g.

That must be why I have never seen a test on one. They wouldn't have been an easy bike to get because of the low build number.
