July 9, 200915 yr check the distance between the studs and see if you can find a head that matches that configuration

You will probably find that apart from the shape of the head fins and possibly the internal combustion chamber shape any 175 head will drop on. Possibly right up to 81/2. If you look at the manuals these engines are more evoloution than re invention so a lot of stuff didnt change bar ig systems and cosmetics.
July 9, 200915 yr Author i have noticed over time that these old yamaha bikes just kinda evolve from one another.in a way i always thought of the as the small block chevy of motorcycles. but i don't like chevy...........GIVE ME TWO WHEELS OR GIVE ME DEATH.
