need some help...WHAT IS IT?

[XCPREDATOR]

i have an older yamaha 3 wheeler...i think it says 85 or 86 and it might be a 225cc? looks to be shaft drive, pull start, and it only has three studs on the hubs for the rear wheels...WHAT IS IT?

[Tri-ZNate]

Its either a DX or DR. Does it have reverse?

[Unclediezel]

Shaft drive is either YT225-or YT 60?----Does it have Air vents around the headlight cover?

[XCPREDATOR]

not running....don't know picked it up for a project over the winter...kinda looks like the one in your pic but it has a wider front tire...i think i seen a dx on one of the plates that are mounted on the wheeler...it a centrifical clutch

[freewheel3]

Does it have electric start? The DX & DR had electric start. The chain drive ytm 200 had just pull start & 3 stud wheels. Yours is shaft drive though, right?

Yamaha 225DX (225DR if it has reverse)

-electric and pull start
-shaft drive
-front and rear suspension
-auto clutch

it's a pull start and i can't remember if it has fins or not...ytm 225 sounds about right..it's locked up and i need to get a service manual on it and on my 1970 us-90

the honda needs the clutch re-installed ..got it with it out and don't know how it goes back..lol

That 90 needs a special clutch nut tool to get the clutch on and toqued properly...honda still sells them or you can probably get it from a specialty tool store...called a spanner nut wrench not sure what size anymore...been a while lol

If there are no cooling fins- and only a pull start its a Yt60 trizinger.look at the base of the cylinder - you will see a displacement stamp - on either one.

Another way to tell it it is a YT60 is if it only comes up to your knees!:D

[XCPREDATOR]

no..it says 225 1986 on the vin stamp plate..so i know it's about a 225cc...and it's taller than my us-90 and my son pw50 but not as tall as my predator or scrambler500

[Tri-ZNate]

he already said it might be a 225cc so that should rule out the 60cc.

[Unclediezel]

lol-- Yt60 is also a single speed centrifugal clutch.---and probably worth more--lol

If it is a 1986 and 225 then it is a Yamaha YTM 225DR.

[edog]

Does it look like this?

[XCPREDATOR]

yep but just like my us-90 someone decide to paint the plastic and fiberglass them selves...i have my work cutout for me...it'll do me right while waiting for race seasopn to start back up :)

Sorry Unclediezel, but you forgot a shaft drive Yamaha. The YTM200ern ( Yamahauler ). hehe. GoTCHa!!! Peace! ;)

Howdy

[Unclediezel]

Yeah - I didnt think about that one until I was at work this morning---

I guess Im sentenced to riding a Quad for the weekend???lol

[Tri-ZNate]

Or a harley, whichever is worse :TrikesOwn

[Unclediezel]

Truthfully---Its just me -I think Harleys are way over-rated, And for $35k--it better have toast and eggs waiting for me in the morning. I can buy just about any "Jap" bike I want for 1/4 of the price ---and its faster and prettier. Yeah, I have my "Hippy" moments --But not at the cost of a new Cadillac.

[Tri-ZNate]

I dont like the looks of the new ones but the old ones are pretty kick ass.

[Unclediezel]

Thats because the older stuff was "Hooked up" by a special breed of human being-called a BIKER. the new stuf comes with that Cheap A** "Plastichrome" and an enormous price tag.

[Unclediezel]

By the way----When Harley-Davidson comes out with an ATV that is worth half a spit---I'll be the first to go buy one--

The harley davidson Three wheelers Are not only too expensive ---But name One guy on this board who wouldnt Thrash it to death inside of a week?

[XCPREDATOR]

you guys wouldnt happen to hav a service manual to either trike would ya? or know where i can get one...for the us-90 i mainly need the clutch diagram for assymbly....thanks

[Unclediezel]

Since Ive taken up enough of your thread with my babbling---the 225 I have the haynes manual for it-I'll scan whatever ya need and post it- The US 90 -you can probably still find the Parts Fiche on bike bandit or Maybe Hyperparts.com

http://www.bikebandit.com/partsbandit/OEM-Parts.asp

[XCPREDATOR]

i mainly need torque specs and maybe head disassymbly on the 225....the link i couldn't find anything on manuals...?

[Unclediezel]

Its not so much a manual ---Its more of a parts Blowup----Dont panic--you can get to the pics without buying anything----LOL

[edog]

Go to www.yamaha.com for your parts diagrams.

[Unclediezel]
