apart from the black guards and metal flake paint the only difference between the 76 and the 74 is the foot pegs - they are otherwise identical and like the CR125M1 pre 75 legal.
from my experience these are bullet proof and fast making good mid range power unlike my TM125 thats a tad peaky
One of my fav

Not a green person, but aren't these similar (for parts or a project)?

Hey Garry,
I don't think that too much is interchangeable between the two. I'm going to pick it up in the next couple of weeks so will know more then. Apparently there are old mxers in sheds everywhere around where he lives so I'm looking forward to going there.
Pete.

Hi Bill,
The one I have is an F6, not a KE unfortunately. I'm not sure what's interchangeable on them. The little KX looks that good that I'm hoping it doesn't need too much at all, however I will definitely fit the YZ85 rod kit as suggested by you,
Pete.

Yamaico:
That is a real cute bike. It reminds me of Sandra Sully. I recently saw one (approx mid 70's) at ACT dirttrack running on methanol. It had a 34mm carby fitted externally and facing forwards. Looked hot and really fast too!

Sandra Sully Brett??
Just need to go and pick it up then get it ready for Nepean next year. I'll have as many bikes out there as Jim Garvey ;D

Screw Nepean Pete. Get it up to Conondale with a fast guy on it next August. You might get your money back ;D
