Yamaha TZ750A- in pieces




Seeing all the home-made RD-based triples and fours, I wondered how Mr. Yamaha did the TZ750s. Idler gear means the engine turns "backwards"? The crankshaft has two drive gears, is that just two TZ350 cranks end to end? The flat-sided expansion chambers were troublesome, apparently they cracked and fractured. Fixed later on...




Cycle magazine Jan 1974, a Gordon Jennings article.
