:welcome: I just restored a 1980 yt-125 tri-moto it been bored to .020'' , i had the frame powdercoated black with nos yamaha front fender and tank cover , i also replaced the bearings in the front and rear axles along with the crank bearings in the motor and all the gasket and seals on the entire bike .

:w00t:

[Trikeaholic]

me and bushwhacker have 175's with rear suspension and crazy mods. I like mine alot. do a search of the board for some pics

[Blown 331]

I have a yellow and a blue 225DX. I like them a lot but they are way to light in the front end. Anyone else think so? I can't hardly climb hills on them and keep the front end down.

[Yamahauler]

tri moto front ends are really light, the yamahauler will do a catwalk waaay easier than the 200s

[Yamaha Tri-Moto]

hey tri-shee very nice man that trailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro looks mint.

[ATC crazy]

I have a '85 125cc engine for one....no good for anything but bottom-end and tranny parts though.

My uncle has a POS 175 though. It hauled me pretty well though...

[250RNUT]

I have a 85 tri moto ytm200 chain drive I bought for 100.00 about 2 months ago. its all there but needs some resto.that will be done after the 85 r project.

[trimoto55]

Here is a pic of my tri-moto, next time I am home I will finish it up. Right now the engine is apart since I had a replacement crank pressed in. I have a new wiesco piston waiting to go in it too. It stinks having everything to finish this project but being 6 hours away from it :( .

Ya, I got one just like tri-shee'w but not near as sharp. Don't have picture though. These 2 cylinder trikes get reved up and you'll go over backwards before you'll ever run out of power. Mine has no suspension in front so you got to be on your toes, and alert. But thats what I love about these bikes. Ya learn to ride'em then you can't stop lovin them. Also there alot easier to overhaul and cheaper. But you have to overhaul more often. It only takes about 15 minutes to pull head and pot, get bored out and order new pistons, rings, gaskets 1 week, and in half an hour back together again. No timing to worry about lining stuff up right. Had a blast today riding in the coulees full of snow today, did some climbing went over backwards, went every where the ski-doos went. If I didn't I was stuck. lol. So don't be scared of two cycles they have their good points and bad. Oh ya I'm 42 years old 200 lbs, and this bike has enough power to push me around, but if it had a 6th gear I would power out, looking for a 175 or 200 now. Stuff done so far: recovered seat, polished up plastic, cleaned carb, .10 oversized piston and rings. New air filter. Replaced bearings in rear axle. Need choke cable, mine seized, also silencer and spark arrester missing. New decals and more funds.

I've got a ytm 200. Bought it on ebay for $112.50
I put on forks and rear bearings, choke cable, and cleaned it up. it runs awesome now. I mainly use it for dragging dead deer and ice fishing equipment. and whenever there is mud!

[yamahaman89]

[Yamaha Tri-Moto]

[firehart]

I have a 85 200ern shaft drive with reverse. I got it and a 85 Honda 200x for $300.00. I just got the Honda out of the shop yesterday. Now I need to save up some cash before I do something with the Yamaha.

[edog]

Here they are,my 1985 225 dxn Tro moto with sky blue plastic.

[Yamaha Tri-Moto]

nice ride man

[edog]

Thank you very much.

[Huffa]

Trying to find a ceratin picture. I'm just testing.

AHHH found it.

Like the motor detail? It's (the motor) not 100% detailed yet but it's getting there. Weird, it must be a glare but the fins look all crooked or broken up and there not.

[Huffa]

ya huffa that things gonna look awesome where your done with her

Yes it will! A month or 2 yet. :cry:

I might be a copy cat and get those mud lites like yours edog. You shop around for price? How much ? You have them shipped?

:wondering How in the world do you have 3300 into that? Not that it's impossible but you got my curiosity.

[Trimoto175]

I just got a 83' 175, paid $75 for it.. looks decent and ran so hey. I only rode it for about ten minutes and i couldn't keep the front end down. plus it was my first time on a three wheeler.. i'm in the process of rebuilding the motor and restoring it.. i can't wait to get out and rip on it. I'll try to get some pics up sometime when i'm done * can check it out.. feel free to hit me up for some tri moto talk.. later

[400ccHomemade]

Ya, the fronts are light.

[Lomax]

I have 2 YT125's. I think that the nicest one is around an 80 model and the other is about an 85 or so. The oldest one is in extremely good shape while the newer one is pretty sad. I also have a YT175 but its a doner bike so i dont guess that it really counts....

[edog]

Replaced alot of stock nos parts,aftermarket parts.

[rustbucket]

I have 2 125s a 80 and 81 the 81 is parts for the 80, it was cool for the first week or so then i had to slide some rings in it was awesome for like 2 weeks then one thing after another finally the oil line came off and roached the rings. Now its in the barn in resto I have the frame painted #199 hot rod green and i am going to paint my "crappy " plastic camo or something. I may get another trike soon I need a bigger one this little guy is slow great for wheelies dumped it over alot

Oh wow. :eek: That last one was a bit much. Hey, is there any way you can pot some photographs of those running boards. I have a brand new set and no instructions. I think they might be the wrong ones. I need a visual to go by.

[edog]

I love that YTM200.

[Yamahauler]

that is beautiful, wow
I dont think that classified as a tri-moto, but its nice to see anyways
