Using quads for parts Wolf in DX clothing UPDATE.

[Trike_crazy]

I just liked the thought of doing something other then a honda. Don't get me wrong, hondas make up most of what I own but it was nice to break away from them and build this yamaha. This is only one of 2 I have but the other is just stock dx225. There will be more to come as I purchase more parts. Future upgrades will hopefully be a tt225 carb and intake, a webcams camshaft, a pod air filter and maybe some different tires.

So this dx has been running/riding very well since I got it finished a few months ago. It has become my go to ride. Only thing I would do now is rebuild the forks and replace the rear shock with a better one. If all goes well for next year and I don't have Annual Training right before or during trikefest you will see this at the MX races lol

it would be really sweet with a tri z front end!! lol .

Pretty cool project.

I'm not a Yamaha expert at all - if I hadn't read all this, I would just think that's a nice looking DX.

Great job on this one! I have been telling people that these bikes are the perfect trail bikes once you stretch the swingarms. I love ours so much I'm building two more of them right now!

This is a really cool read! Nice work for sure


Makes me want to find one one day. I didn't ride Derricks, but spent plenty of time staring at it a few times haha

Thanks guys for all of the positive comments. I really hope to upgrade and modify it just a bit more. I've been looking for a tt225/ttr225 carburetor and intake without much luck. The stock carburetor is 24-26mm? And a tt225 carburetor is 32mm, I believe it should fit. Also might do a cam swap and a pod filter if I get a carburetor. Then by running a pod filter I could ditch the stock airbox and run a better rear shock with some type of reservoir.

Czac, I would love to do a tri-z front end on mine. I may try to pick one up in the future but until then the stock forks getting rebuilt will be good enough. I love the way yours looks with the skinny front tire

Great Job mate looks really good.

I use the 06-up YFZ shock on ours and it's awesome. Almost perfect. I run the short intake coming off the back of the carb with a small exhaust adaptor to a 1 3/4" pod filter. Our swinger is stretched 3" but I'm sure it would work on yours as well.

Derrick, does the YZ rear shock fit right on or is there any modding involved? will it fit with the stock air box on the trike? I love the one you made for your wife, it looks bad !
how's the swing arm working? any issues with it?

Thanks, yeah it makes a pretty good sized difference in the ride and the ride height. The front tire is a 25" tall one so its a bit on the tall side but with the 22" rear wheels back on and the 3" wheel spacers added it sitting a lot nicer. the tri z front end is the way to go. I just wish there was just a little bit more of a rake to the front end, I think it would look nicer...lol anyone ever make a chopper out of one of these? lol

Just a little update on my wolf in dx clothing. I finally picked up a 3x100 aluminum front wheel and a set of 400ex wheels for the rear of my dx. I had to purchase a set of wheel spacers because the bell of the wheel hit the drum on my timberwolf swingarm. But it worked out since I wanted to widen the rear anyways. It should be ready to ride in a few days when the spacers come in so I will update in a few days.

I have to say that the wheel spacers and lightweight aluminum wheels have made a big difference in the way this thing drives/handles. I'm looking at have some 10x6 red label wheels made in the 3x100 bolt pattern for better front tire options though.
