    Yamaha 225DX (install reverse)

    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.

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