question
i understand the k/l is trimoto,ek/el is electric start but what is the DX for
i see an EK is a yamahauler
ya said mine was a ytm225dx-?
thanks marg

Hey, there is a 1983 ytm200e motor in it. Thats cool, that means i could put a 225 in my 200, but its not worth it, haha.

a 200k Means a 1983 200....K stands for 1983, L is 84, N is 85, S is 86 (they skipped a few letters for some reason)........You dont always have to say the year letter after the model name. (YTM200EK is said 83 YTM200E usually)

The DX is just a model name...means nothing, but all DX models have suspension, shaft, elect start.

A DR model is the exact same as a DX, but it has Reverse.

So, your bike is a YTM225DX...with a YTM200E motor in it...so really you could call it a YTM200DX...

Hope that helps, kind of confusing.

you said its a 200e motor but some of the listing for stuff just say 200 is that the same

Yep-- 200cc is the same for "E" as it is for everything else. Only exception is a Blaster motor---its a two stroke.

ok it looks like this needs rings and some electrical tape and zip ties.
