  • midnight special speedometer????

    wondering if anyone knows right off hand if the 1980 or 1981 model midnight specials would have come with a 120 mph speedometer??? I know about the 160mph and the 85mph but have never seen one with a 120 mph speedo...

    My '81 Midnight Special came from the P.O. with the 85MPH speedo - seriously doubt he changed out the speedo to 'downgrade'.

    Also, Yamaha's part # description for the '81 Speedo - Part # 3J6-83570-A1-00 does not specify the MPH range.

      Hey Mac,

      I've got a 120 on my 81 Special, it came from a 650!! It has a green face, matches my green Godzilla theme!!

        I swapped the 85 MPH speedo with a 140 MPH from an XS750 partser in my backyard.
