hello again i have just visited the ktm web page
and the 76 enduro has a different chainguide and
the right hand engine case is fully enclosed around the sprocket in one piece. i have looked at my engine and there does not seem to be any holes at the back of the caseing to take a one
piece case, has yours

hello patrick i have the same model ktm which
seems to be a little different from yours. going by
the engine number yours is older than mine, the
airbox on yours looks to be plastic whereas mine
is alloy .does your left side panel seal the airbox
or is the airbox one piece ,ithink mine is possibly
a76but looking at the difference in engine numbers it might be a 77. if you look below the
front sprocket on the caseing there is a stamp
with ayear imprinted in.i think perhaps if it says 75
it was built for 76 , at the moment larry is going to
have a go at putting a date on mine speak soon

Hello Larry.
The frame number is 550 02682 and the engine is 6-5103061.  I have had the bike for 7yrs and had no luck finding out from KTM dealers anything about it because their records dont go back to 1976. It looks to be a scrambler but with the lighting coils on i am not so sure.  It has a 5 speed gear box, did the enduro version have 6? Thanks for helping out, speak to you soon
Rich.
