Yamaha 225DX (install reverse)

[acidtuch10]

I have a 1985 Yamaha 225DX. Great shape and I would like to install reverse, is it simply swapping out the reverse gear on the left side of the trike? Maybe I can find a trashed DR model with it and grab the parts off it.... Would a Moto 4 200/225 reverse work as well?

Just curious.

a motor from a 99 bear tracker 250 is a direct bolt in...just have to swap u joints and magnetos

Is this true?

Somebody's got plans...............LOL that would be real cool, a 250DR! Get on it, Fabio!

Dx, moto4, timber wolf, bear tracker are all basically the same.

you can punch the stock cyl out 1mm and end up with the same displacement. stock 225 is 223cc and the beartracker is 229cc.

I'd like to add reverse on my 225DX. It will be in the plans someday when I have more time :)
