73 or 74, can't be absolutely sure. I don't recall ever seeing a FS1E with a front number plate or a black/silver reg plate, but most SSs did have, so I'd guess post Jan 1st '73 sometime.

Yellow or red? Your's was the interim model that had the disc front but wasn't a DX. The DX had the speed block design and the ignition switch up by the speedo

It was yellow with a single white band on the tank and a yamaha badge, rather than it being a decal. It had the ignition by the speedo as well, side panels matched the tank, not the block design, with FS1-E, but no mention of DX. (so maybe it wsn't a true DX) It was first regged in 76 on a P plate, but was under 2 years old when I got it and I knew it hadn't been changed round.
