    Talking I don't know what I have!!

    Hi!!
    I just bought a three wheeler and I don't know what it is.
    Here is what I do know:
    1. It is a Yamaha
    2. It has a twist throtle
    3. It is a 2 stroke
    4. I will flat move (it is quick enough to scare me)
    The guy who sold it to me said he thought it was a 200cc and that it was the last year model made.
    It has a heavy coat of black paint all over it and I can not find an id plate.
    Please tell me where to look.
    I bought this thing cheep and plan on having much fun with it at the deer woods. I would just like to know what I have. I figure that would be handy when any repairs are needed. i can take a pic if needed.
    I thank you for any info you can provide!!

    .....Tri-Z?
    [20:55] <waterpumper> putting a racing pipe on a Foreman is like putting a high dollar bikini on a 400 pound chick...just because it fits doesn't mean it looks cool

    Im pretty sure that it has to be a Tri-Z. It and the little Tri Zinger kid bike,, 70cc? were the only 2 strokes Yamaha made.

    Perfection consists not in doing extraordinary things, but in doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.

    There should be a dsiplacement # on your engine.Other than that, the serial number will be on the steering neck of the frame.If it has front susp-no rear,chances are it's the 175.No suspension it will be the 125.

    Air Cooled, Front Suspension (Inverted), Mini = YT60
    Air Cooled, No suspension = YT125
    Air Cooled, Front Suspension only = YT175
    Liquid Cooled, Front and rear suspension = YTZ250

    Always thought it was weird that a YT60 has front suspension (although not much) and a YT125 doesnt.

    Thanks for all of the info. It is a YT125. It has been around the block a few times, but it runs and drives. It should be the perfect toy. I plan on riding it till the wheels fall off.

    Thanks again!!!
