ridingr6 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Hello. I recieved a 1974 Yamaha DOHC 500 I think. On the side cover it has DOHC 500 eight valve, the engine code is 371-109226, what model do i have TX , XS , I don't know. I want to start restoring this bike or make a cafe racer so your help will be greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turrican64 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 You have a 1974 TX500A. Search the first three digits and you will find it. http://cyclerestorer.com/pages/show_man_serial_num.php?sort_field=4&manufacturer=Yamaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turrican64 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 thanks do the SR / TT / XT models interchange with the TX model, also where is the best place for parts I'm guessing that ebay would be your best bet for parts for this bike, or a local bike wrecker/salvage. I'm not sure if the parts will interchange between those bikes...your best bet would be to take the old part and compare it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
