Posted January 9, 201114 yr Wondering if the engine parts (or any parts) are interchangeable on the different R5 years? I have a 1970, and will need to do a little work on it. Thanks

Thanks Not 100% but they only did the R5 for 3 years. I doubt they changed much. Probably find a lot of RD350 parts will fit too. Yamaha are pretty lazy that way.
January 9, 201114 yr If you go on the yamaha-motor.com website which is the USA site and click on Sport then parts and service and view parts catalog and select motorcycle you will find a parts catalog that goes back to 1963 and shows the 1970s R5 parts so you can compare the part numbers .Tony.
