On US models, the generator output was increased from 180 to 360watts; the voltage regulator moved from generator to under the rear seat and the entire electrical system was upgraded from six to 12 volts. A rear anti-sway bar was added. The clutch disc also increased to 200mm and there was a new 130-tooth flywheel. New equipment included a driver's armrest on the door, recessed interior door handles and locking buttons on both doors.
