Weekend Rider I do not know the actual # range in Canada the 73 was a TX750 and the74 was a TX750A .The 73 models where the colour in your picture and the 74s where darker brown with a dual disc brake setup.The mod kit for the 73s also included a deeper oil sump which was std on the 74s. This stopped the oil from foaming and allowed the scavenge side of the oil pump to return oil rather than foam bock to the tank.The rear balancer shaft is the one used to adjust the chain. It is on the lower left side of the engine.I woul suggest you try to find an older Yamaha dealer who is sympathetic towards ..older bikes to get advice.Yamaha parts nation still has parts diagrams on their site even though it is pretty well all discontinued.
Donald. If I have the oil sump extension, does that mean I automatically have all of the mod's. I'm sure my bike was a one owner since I now have the original title that was issued in April of 74. So I don't think anyone added it later in the year's.
Is this the extended sump. What all is included in the mod package.
