My first Trike Yamaha 225DX

[Dirtweed]

Hey Guys,

Bought my first trike this weekend. Got a Yamaha 225DX that sat in a barn most of its life. Not many hours on
this one at all. Needs new air filter, carb cleaning and grips after I switched out the twist grip for the thumb
throttle.

I know in a year or two it will be stripped down and redone, but for now I'm just going to enjoy it.

Thanks for the link to the manual. I think my brother has a hard copy of it as well.

I am looking for a Honda ATC 70 and plan on getting a two stroke eventually.

I have had Quads before (1988 Honda TRX250R and a 2005 Honda 400EX) and sold them,
regretting it each time. Plan on holding on this one.

Welcome, nice trike, great condition too, enjoy!

[JasonB]

looks like a great condition bike! good find man, enjoy it!

[Dirtweed]

It's actually in really great condition. Cleaned out the tank as
it was full of garbage. Runs like a champ now.

Just so you know, I was gonna buy that exact zinger but the guy sold it to you. I feel bad because ive been talking to the guy about it for like 5 days and iwas gonna buy it tomorrow. But he called you instead. I hope its nice. By the way im friends with Russ and Eric behm.

Nice find..

Yeah I'm Eric's bother and he told me that the person from Buffalo was you guys. I had no idea, sorry about that. It's nice and works well, but finding that parts are going to be hard to come by. Connor will be riding this
one at Russ' place. I'm going to keep looking for an ATC 70 for myself, until then I'll use the 225DX.

cool its ok id rather have an atc 70 anyways. Im looking forward to when we all have the machines running and we race around there track. We met before one time when i was with russ and his dad and we stopped by your house. My name is spencer.

[Dirtweed]

That's right....the 70 will be better, but Connor is not that good at shifting so this will be good for him.
We are going to look so ridiculous racing around that track....can't wait. LOL

I just found a DG Pipe for the Zinger so I'll be ordering that today.

[spentar]

just so you know the dg pipe sticks like 6 inches out the back of the zinger. So if you do wheelies or anything like that you can rist bending or breaking it off. But if you dont do wheelies i hear it gives it a ton of power.

[Dirtweed]

Yeah Russ sent me a picture. I sent an email to Jemco today about their pipes.

[bw200rider]

wow what a nice find..

[Dirtweed]

The kid got busy today and cleaned up the plastics and finished them with the Halloway stuff from Walmart.

I polished them with Wizards and they shined right up. Not perfect, but not bad for almost 30 yrs old.
