Hey guys got a question. Yamaha tri z 250 does the ring under the top race come out to allow the new taper race to go in.
I’ve cut lines in it ,battered it with heavy bar but no movement. Is it part of the frame?
Im sure one of you fellow tri owners will know 🤔

Hi everyone. I am one step from completing a lifelong dream restoration. I am hoping someone can help me as i have been looking on ebay and other places but not finding a good set of period correct rear wheels in great condition. i am hoping someone here have a set they want to get rid of. I appreciate anyone who can help and thank you.

It's been a while since been over here in the forums. Wanted to give everyone a heads up that I'm now making plug and play CDIs you can adjust for the Tri-Z and the Tri-moto 2 strokes. The Tecate CDI got a redesign in the housing, but it's the same one I've been offering since 2019.

The Tri-moto CDI comes with a jig to help slot the stator for a +5 degree advance.

You can find them on my website at www.NastyFastParts.com


The Tecate is a replacement CDI
The Tri-Z and Tri-motos are performance CDIs with curves built in. Easy to use!

my 350x has motor mounts cut off to fit a 400ex motor in.
I bought a 250x quad for the 350x motor thats in it. ive got a ad looking for 350x frame or parts locally and this afternoon i get a message. got a 350x frame and motor! its a 1.5 hours away and it's already 330. he says for a extra 50 bucks he'll eat half way. deal, send a Pic! i see a small pic and I didnt stop to really pay attention.
its a frame, front and rear suspension and I see a muffler which ill need, axles and hubs. price is 300 bucks, like I was saying im happy at the price and the drive.
So we meet up at 5pm, 1st thing I notice is the headlight. 1 bulb and looks like a 250r or 250sx. try to kick it over and its stuck. then I notice the small intake manifold and really decided Let's stop and really look.
well theres 1 exhaust pipe not 2. the upper 350x motor mount is definetly not there! the front fender has a 350x sticker which is what the guy went off of.
well i see the frame sticker and its not a 350x. It's a 86 200x.
So what do you do? drove 45 minutes, seller was surprised its a 200x, and drove 45 minutes.
im looking tje thing over.
It's a solid frame, exhaust and a Coffman muffler.
front suspension triple is all there, missing the axle and hub
rear suspension is intact witb rear brakes. shock and swing arm axle and hubs and chain

motor is complete, the left cover bolts are loose so the oils gone.
wiring is all there except the coil and kill switch.
Do I need a 86 200x project? not really, does the seller need a project? for sure no, someone gave it to him
I asked what he planned on doing witb it? no idea, he doesnt do trikes. so I asked if i bought it, what would he let it go for? He tossed out 200, i countered 175. so I now have a 200x that I really have no idea what to do with it. I checked the vin and its clear. probably just go out and get a title on the frame.
got the cylinder soaking in oil,

So is the 86 87 200x have any parts that would swap from my 185s or 84 200x?
Or toss it all up for trade for 350x parts? And is it worth spending the 60 bucks to title it? jim

Hello everyone,

When I was growing up, we had a 1983 185S with a 3-inch Supertrapp exhaust, and I loved how it sounded. I purchased another 185S a few years ago, and I have found a Supertrapp exhaust for it. This exhaust came with a 4-inch muffler but purchased a 3-inch to replicate the setup I had years ago. The 4-inch has a bracket that will allow it to bolt up to the frame like the stock muffler (though I have yet to mock it up). The 3-inch muffler does not have a bracket or an apparent way to secure the rear of the exhaust to the frame.

Do any of you have suggestions as to how to accomplish this or can anyone post a picture of how a 3-inch muffler attaches to a 185S (Or I assume that a 200S would be the same)?

I suppose I could just use the 4-inch, but I prefer the vintage aesthetic of the 3-inch muffler.

Any and all help is appreciated.

Not sure why it posted double pics. Having issues with the BVC swingarm. Shock spring is only .022" from left arm and the bolts for the carrier housing are as tight as they will get. Look at that gap. These aren't the only issues I have had. More pics later.
Anyone else running one of these or attempted to?

I did this to the axle center and brake hub. Not sure yet if it will work, yet.
Anyone else try it?

It all started with this sleeve:


I thought it was good so I did a little more, anyway. If you want to, lmk if it’s bad.

Looking through local ads and I saw this:

Yep, you can spot it, too. Ad said the wheels are prefect! They are not really perfect but they will work for me. I really needed the 2 above for my recon. They said they were for a Yamaha and wanted $20 for all 4.
Is that right? Did they put these 350x wheels on another machine?

just bought a fairly complete 87 250x with a 85 350x motor and headlights.
i
only reason I bought it was I needed the motor and headlights for my 350x with a mystery 400ex motor in it.
So is there any value to a rolling 250x quad? tank has surface rust inside, doesnt look like ot rusted through. seats torn, has rear plastics probably cracked rider quality. im pulling the rear tires, front mc is bad, rear brakes work. is it something to take to the scrap yard? thanks. jim

Ive been gone from the trike world for a while now and recently came back. Got my old 200s ripping again and have since picked up a couple more 200s and some 250s as well and gen1/2 250r. Ive got 2-82 250r frames. 1 gen1 tank, 2 gen1 swingers one is extended. I have a complete 84 bottom end. Im not sure what the top end is as well as the gen2 carb and a set of 200x triples. 1 axle and brake caliper, 1 front drum(which i dont want to use) and a few other parts. I need exhaust and im having a hard time finding the DG for a gen1 one find it for the gen2. Also how can i tell the difference between a gen1 top end and a gen2 besides it being red or black? The on i have has been painted at least once. Just trying to figure out what i have and what will work. Seems like i still need a gen1 exhaust to work with the gen1 frame even with the gen2 motor correct? I have a idea in my head at what i want it to look like. Also seems like maier only makes the fenders in red new i remember buying a white set years ago. So since thats the case im thinking red fenders, white tank and blue set. cant decide if i want the frame black or red. And polished or gold wheels. Any help would be appreciated. Looking to start on this one after my sx is up and running.

I spotted this ‘interesting’ 83-84 250R on Marketplace and immediately picked it up at midnight last night for $400. There’s something unique about it, you win an e-cookie if you can identify it too :naughty:

I have what looks to be a 1970 - 1971 US90. Serial is US90-1205XX. Front balloon tire holds air but the back two balloon tires are dry rotted, cracked and don't. The fender and gas tank appear to be pulled from a mid 80s ATC. This came with a house I bought. I have childhood memories of riding my uncle's three wheeler so there's a little nostalgia there but no attachment. I'd like to get it running but I'm looking for opinions on what others would do. Should I sell the front tire and use that to buy replacement tires and maintenance items to get it going again? Should I sell the whole thing to someone more interested in restoring it for collecting and just buy a newer user three wheeler?
