What are the differences between a 1975 cr250 and a 1976 cr250?

Thanks...

frame has red paint,fenders are red and tank is a solid red on the 76,color was Tahitian Red on the 76.

the 75 had white fenders,the tank had a Tahitian Red top stripe and polished aluminum and the side covers are Tahitian red.serial numbers on the 75 was CR250ME-2000001~ on the engine and CR250-2000001~ on the frame.

1976 was CR250-3000001~ on the frame and CR250E or CR250ME-3000001~ on the engine.i do not have a 1976 CR250 but i had a 1973 and currently have a 1975 CR250 and i am using the 75 as a example somewhat and a Honda 1959-1988 guide book as a guide on these.

Thanks Dave, looks like primarily cosmetic differences.
