    My last 85 YTM225 was also hard to start when cold. I traded it to a guy who said that the valves were out of adjustment. I'd recommend checking your valve clearances.

    Well I’m 99.5% we found it. Ripped the carb apart today. I never changed that jet apart of the fuel intake. We actually had to heat the little bugger up. My buddy cleaned globs of crud out of the line. It went from a pin stream to all out stream. Hooked it up back up and test the fuel level and wham. Runs like a champ. No more issues and it cold starts great now. Buddy just started it about 5 hours after we last drove it.

Eventually the spines in the hub gave out and he drove it with only 1 wheel spinning for a few months before he welded the hub on. He had that machine 15+ years with the same set of tires on it. They are very stiff and heavy, but longevity they last forever. The only way I've ever seen a set worn out is from people driving on the road a lot.

    I'd rather have trail pros instead of these.... I have like 4 or 5 sets of them anyone want to trade xD. Horrible tire for a 3 wheeler unless it's under powered or you never slide the rear end around. The one machine with the odd ball tires I got the tires super cheap new $100 for the set so couldn't pass them up, machine came with OEM tires dry rotted to death.


    As for parts, I always check a dealership site like partzilla.com if it's in production yet, if not jump to ebay. If you have the room, it never hurts buying a 2nd machine for parts and is generally the most cost effective way to stock pile parts.
    i than that identical tire on the front of my trike
