    1975 Yamaha TX500A Questions

    YamaChris posted a topic in Classics
    Hello Everyone, I recently purchased a 1975 Yamaha TX500A (I think) and I've got a few questions because although I'm not new to motorcycling...I am new to vintage motorcycles. I want to begin by providing my VIN: 371208643. The titled year of the bike is 1975, it's in fair condition (needs a lot of TLC and I don't have keys for it). I was looking through shspowersports.com (I use them most often) for a new ignition/gas cap/seat lock that come with keys and the first thing I notice is that there is no TX500A in 1975 so I checked the sticker on the frame and the bike was produced in 1974 (expected). Is it a common issue that the year on the title is incorrect or is the bike something other than a TX500A? Also, is it possible to get a key made for the bike or does anyone know where I can get the three locks with the common key between them? Thanks for any help! Chris
