Teaching quads a lesson
just stating an obvious answers on the frame and plastic color. if i had to guess i would say the frame is the early tri-z model with switched plastics.
the reason i say this is my yellow Z has an 86 frame. does this make it an 86 tri-z?? beats me!!! by all standards probably not. so i really thing someone just wanted black plastic on a yellow frame. i dont know how to attacth pics not from my computer but if someone could attatch that black Z with the yellow frame in the sand. there is a prime example. i love that pic lol

The headlight guard is supposed to be black. The 85s came with yellow plastic/frame. 85 1/2 came with black plastic/red frame. 86 was red frame/white plastic with some red pieces. The yellow and black does look sweet, but Yamaha never produced with with that color scheme.
Many quads for sale. 400EXs, Z400, 450s ect.
I'm the one with all the 2 stroke around here!
The day begins with 3WW
this is the color scheme i did mine.not factory for that year but i like it this way.there was just too much yellow on the bike the first model year for me to like.the black really breaks up the yellow good
