    freebie Yamaha 225 updated washed pic IT RUNS!!!!

    I got a message from one of the guys I used to race with. His Mom has "some mid-eighties death trap" on her ranch she needs to get rid of. All he could tell me that it is shaft drive. What models were shaft drives?

    Big Red
    250 SX
    yamaha 225


    what else?


    I'm leaving the house as soon as my 6 and 8 year old boys wake up. I'll have a photo as soon as I get home

    The price is right. Hope you can fix it up. Wish you lived closer to me here in southern Idaho. We could ride together.

    the kawasaki klt160 and klt185 were also shaft driven but pretty rare so i would bet more on a 250sx or big red

    it is a Yamaha It has reverse as well, so that makes it a 225 DX right?

    it is stuck in gear right now. I'm headed back to the garage to get the pressure washer out. It last ran 5 years ago. Just a project right?

    Nice trike! Not bad for free. I bet if you put new fluids in it and clean the carb she will fire up!

    I got it washed. It is alot bluer now Carb is in dip right now, we will see if it will start.

    So far it needs:
    reverse lever
    Battery
    pull handle
    fuel line
    spark bolt
    carb clean
    fluids changed
    fresh gas.

    Is it me or does that pic of the back end look twisted???
    Never argue with an idiot. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

    Calling an illegal alien an undocumented immigrant is the same as calling a drug dealer an unlicensed pharmacist.
