I think you've got yourself a 1976 TT500 Enduro engine there.
Does it look like the top 2 pics at this link? http://images.google.com/imgres?img...l=en&sa=N&rlz=1T4GZAZ_enUS369US369&tbs=isch:1

hey thanks. that is the motor. looks exactly the same. what can you tell me about them are the 4 stroke? bc the one i have has a hose comming out of the crankcase and no way to check the oil. the hose looks likes it would hook up to an oil bottle or something. are these morotrs built good or do you have to take it easy on them

The TT500 was a 4-stoke. I never owned one but I used to ride with a buddy that totally thrashed his for years and years, I don't remember his bike ever breaking down.
You'll find a bunch of TT500 info at this search link: http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GZAZ_enUS369US369&q=Yamaha+TT500
