Help on Vintage STX 340 sled, is it same as Exciter?

[MountainMax]

I have an old 1977 yamaha STX 340 and tried to find parts, very hard, think they only made a few of them 76 & 77 only, but these years they also made exciters, I think they may be similar,anyone know the differences? I can find some old exciter parts you see for my resto.

My STX pics on my page linked below, come see>

Is it a free air, or fan cooled? Might be teh same as the Enticer, not exciter...

 

[MountainMax]

no, it's not like the enticer, I have 4 of those, it looks very similar to what pics I can find, seems like they have the same specs except the Stx comes with a 38mm round slide carb and is geared higher, I have the manual which covers 76/77 STX 340/440 and 77-79 Exciter, so I wondered.

below is the only pic I can find of an exciter, compare it to mine.

Probably the same chassis and motor and clutches, with some slight model differences. Is it Canadian?

 

[schmidtty]
