29u-0108(3)90 hard to read the 3rd and 7th on this decal
200cc
any help would be great
thanks:wondering

[Unclediezel]

By the numbers, You have a 1983 ytm225dx

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

[Unclediezel]

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

:welcome: to the boards

[thecdngirls]

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]

Shaft drive is definitely a 225----

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

[thecdngirls]

thanks for the welcome
what a great site
lots of information:beer

[Unclediezel]

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

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

[thecdngirls]

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]

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]

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

[thecdngirls]

if it helps at all it has electric and pull start

[85hondaatc125m]

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

[thecdngirls]

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]

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

[thecdngirls]

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

[edog]

Where are the pics?

[Yamahauler]

Ok, thats really weird it has a 196cc cylinder.
Im pretty sure the whole motor would interchange if you switch the middle drive gear components, thats what im assuming was done. Id like to see some pics thouhg.:beer

[Unclediezel]

196 is also typed on the ID label??????

Is a ytm200 -"HAULER" shaft drive also?

Hey Cory....Where did ya get that # table? ....My haynes manual has nothing like that!!!!!!

[Yamahauler]

It was in my Clymer manual.
The 200cc Yamahauler is a shaftie. There is also a 200cc chain driven.

Im assuming the engine was changed with a 200...PICS!!!

[Unclediezel]

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

Why would 196cc be on the LABEL if the Vin is a 225?

I cant come up with anything being changed, That would explain the numbers being so twisted?

[Yamahauler]

I think the label hes talking about is the displacement that is stamped on the back of the cylinder

[Unclediezel]

Do the Cyl's swap out?

[edog]

Do the Cyl's swap out?
No bore and stroke are different.

[Yamahauler]

He probably got the vin off the steering neck. But if he got the vin is off the engine cases it blows my mind.

I was thinking MAYBE the guts from a 225 would interchange with a 200, but that seems like a lot of work to go through. We need some pics of the bike, motor and of the vin numbers

[thecdngirls]

the 196 was on the cylinder at hte very bottom
the other numbers are off the steering neck
and it is shaft drive
the pics i have are not the best
i've got all the plastic off trying to wire it up

[thecdngirls]

:pics:
i will try to get better shots
thanks for everyones help

[Yamahauler]

definatly a 225 frame. What is the VIN number off the motor?

[thecdngirls]

21V00 is stamped on the cylinder right above where it bolts on

[Yamahauler]

There is a vin number on the engine case (bottom end) should be 24W-00_ _ _ or something line that.....

[traxxasx]

Wow that thing is beat. To many wires ahhh!!!!!!! Also those tires are huge!!! STrip that thing down and blast it all t hen repaint it and reasemble. Should come out decent.

[thecdngirls]

first thanks for all the help
the number on the motor is 24w-011265
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

[Yamahauler]

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.

[thecdngirls]

thanks that helps alot

[edog]

Thanks for the pics.

[thecdngirls]

ok it looks like this needs rings
so where is a could place to but them
you said its a 200e motor but some of the listing for stuff just say 200 is that the same
thanks marg

[Unclediezel]

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

[edog]

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