A little help with a Yamaha YTM 200, I think?

[spangman]

I just picked up a friend for my Raptor, But I am not exactly sure what it is? I was told it was a 200E, But I seem to think the "E" designates Electric start, which it does NOT have. It is also a chain drive when the sticker on the side says "shaft". I kinda figure that it is not a 200E, but something else with 200E rear fender. Can anyone tell me what it is by the serial number on the frame or motor? I want to pick up bearings and an air filter for it as well as just knowing what the heck I just aquired is actually called...

Thanks
Spangman

P.S. I have been lurking here for quite some time, I just finaly have a good reason to post

Give us the first three frame numbers---

[spangman]

21V-xxxxxx

and a sticker on the steering tube says 1984, I should have looked a little closer....

1984 Ytm200

Thanks Alot. Is there anything special I should know about it, seems to run O.K. just needs some brake and bearing help so far.

[Unclediezel]

Either someone went "STICKER -Happy" ---or changed the fender.....
Not positive but I agree ---"E" is electric start

There are plenty of guys here who could probably tell you the name of the guy in Japan who built it-----(LOL) so be patient, and check back during the day. Where in P.A.?

Thanks for the help, I will be checking here frequently for more info and parts etc.. I live close to York, PA

Nice trike Spangman, good buy. I'd say you are right about it having the 200 "Shaft" rear fenders. I really liek those handlebars. Might see if I can trade my Tecate's stock bars for a pair. Get the feel of my old YTM 200 shaftie back, miss that sucker!

1984 ytm 200ek identical too my bike :)

Definatly not a 200e, just a regular 200...good buy though. Looks good!

The 200e has the shaft drive system and the eletric start. So yours is not that one.

what did u spring for it if I may ask?

[spangman]

Well, I gave $350 for it and as far as I can tell all it needs is

wheel/axle bearings
chain adjusted or replaced
the hole in the carb that I think is for the choke is full of mud......
some brake work
air filter

I haven't really had too much time to mess with it yet. I mainly picked it up to ride around my yard because my raptor is a little loud with the Sparks exhaust. I have always had a "soft-spot" for trikes since I rode my friends 350X (what a blast)
It seems to run well and the trans is pretty smooth so that sorta covers the big stuff.
Where do you guys get your parts at? I would like to avoid getting hosed too bad
