By the numbers, You have a 1983 ytm225dx

Chain or shaft drive on your trike?- Does it say 200cc on the label?

**Unclediezel** · 10-12-2006, 11:49 PM

Damn----Where are my manners----

to the boards

**thecdngirls** · 10-12-2006, 11:49 PM

thanks for the quick reply
no it says 196cm3 on the label
i'll have to check to see but i think its shaft

**Unclediezel** · 10-12-2006, 11:52 PM

Shaft drive is definitely a 225----

On the steering stem are stamped Vin #'s-----The first 3 are 29u?

**thecdngirls** · 10-12-2006, 11:52 PM

thanks for the welcome
what a great site
lots of information

**Unclediezel** · 10-12-2006, 11:55 PM

Its Great to see more of us old folks----

Now stop OOOOGLING the site and get me some Vin #s DAMMIT-

**thecdngirls** · 10-12-2006, 11:55 PM

ok the label on the motor definitely reads 196cm3
teh number on the steering stem is 29u-010390 the only number that is rubbed almost off is the 3 whick could be an 8

**Unclediezel** · 10-12-2006, 11:57 PM

Ok - Yamaha did some funky stuff with their CC coding and bike "NAMING" procedures-----They rounded everything off to the nearest COOL sounding Number------You definitely have a ytm 225 DX

**thecdngirls** · 10-13-2006, 12:02 AM

ok thanks
i'll still check to see if its chain or shaft

**thecdngirls** · 10-13-2006, 12:24 AM

if it helps at all it has electric and pull start

**85hondaatc125m** · 10-13-2006, 12:35 AM

Could it be a 225 dx with a 200 motor maybe?

**thecdngirls** · 10-13-2006, 12:40 AM

i'll get a pic of it and post it if that helps
it has yellow plastic
the number on the underside of the seat is 21v00
there is also the same number 21v00 on the motor
it has a single rear shock
thanks for all the help

**burnoutboy** · 10-13-2006, 04:05 AM

Yep... it's a 225. The rear shock part gave it away.. good luck with getting it going.

**thecdngirls** · 10-13-2006, 05:36 PM

thanks hope it starts
its shaft drive
5 speed no reverse
the vin is 29u-010390
