A guy came up the the house the other day and Gave me a really old Yamaha DirtBike of some kind (ok its prolly not that old). Anyhow its in really great shape and I was thinking Restoration wouldnt be too much trouble as its a MX bike so there arent many frills or extra Items to worry about with it. I will take a Picture of it and post it so that maybe someone can identify it. Does anyone know of any places that you can find Vintage Yamaha DirtBike parts from??

One of the largest inventories of NOS yamaha parts from dealer buy outs in the country ---Roughly 5 million dollars worth of NOS parts. Ive been there-- they have warehouses full of stuff. Ive gone through alot of the tri Z stuff so no rare plastics for the Z but lots of stuff for other applications.

All it says is Yamaha MX. thats wrote on the gas tank. Its a mono shock rear end but it runs in the backbone of the frame so I know that its prolly mid-late 70's. I know that Yamaha came up with that design first and ran for a couple years before everyone else caught one. I am guessing by the look of the machine that its definatly one of the earlier ones.

look around on the motor, usually on the cyclender there is a displacement marking. eBay has always been a good place for vintage parts for my dads MX

Why are you so down on old Yami's? MX100s are quite fast. 80 sized frame with 100 motor. They made 125's but the 50 wasnt an MX and it was mid 80's.

I' still forgot to get a Picture of the darn thing. I am not really interested in it having a whole lot of power as It wont get rode a whole lot. I just think it would be fun to have all nice and shiney new to run through parades and take out through the fields, just ride around on. Oh, it cant be any less powerful than the CT90 that we have lol..

I found out what it is (still forgot a Picture!!) Its a 1980 Yamaha MX 175G. That ought to have enough power to scoot around fairly well.
