    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.

    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...

    Here is the link on how to post pics. http://www.3wheelerworldforums.com/s...ad.php?t=31055


    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!
