NEV Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Hi Geo, the vin code I get for yours isn't a 125 but a 175 mx 1981 (4J4) Hope this helps, Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoclinton Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 Cheers Nev I thought that when I bought it ( Ebay £250 ) took a while to find and identify the numbers. I phoned Yamaha cust services they told me the good news or bad as I didnt do my test when I should have so I am restricted to a 125. The bike is in good nick so I will put it on the road and sell or swap . I take it these are popular? Cheers again Geo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEV Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I know of lads in here that have put a 175 barrel on a 125 bottom, don't know if you can do the reverse mind, maybe one of the lads to have done it may come along later, I also know that theres a couple of lads in here would take the 175 barrel off your hands too, if you can.

Geoclinton Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 Steady on chaps I am a virgin bike mechanic So I aven't a scooby doo where to start really. I have just taken of the carb to find white gunk in the vacuum pipe to the crank case. After a few phone calls I am in the process of removing the crankcase with a couple of stuckfast screw head bolts so I can clean out the interior of damp & moisture. I think this will solve the problem then I am on getting it road worthy for its mot I need spares i;e rear light & bracket license holder and the box thing for the lights and horn etc as the one that's on hasn't got a horn button or indicator slide can anyone point me in the right direction? any advice on swapping the barrel is this a easy job and would it make a lot of difference to the performance?
