    Husqvarna Motorcycle:
    73 450WR 6spd motor in a 75 MK frame
    The five speeds are one of my favorite eras. Even with their bulky motors and out dated suspension I loved their bullet proof construction, and the torque the 450 produces is awesome for cross country riding with hills and sand washes.

    The manual located in the tech section is pretty comprehensive. You'll also find a whole pile of other info. located in the Tech section. Even though your bike is an MJ, i.e. 72, the 73 MK will be 99.9% the same.

    There's also some awesome porting mods for your bike outlined by the factory in the Service Bulletin section.
