Gurgir Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 So long story long I moved to France from Spain because of work issues and I never really had much money so I couldn't get any type of license, in France things are going a bit better but biking is.. not the best thing in the world to get from A to B let's say, so I decided to start small and do the 50cc license (I've always liked bikes but from 0 to a 500kg bike I rather get some experience first) So I purchased a Yamaha DT 50 R about a week ago (I like having to shift gears and a scooter won't do that for me) and I'm trying to make her look somewhat decent because the previous owner had a little.. slide with it let's say I'm trying to look for some fairing but I'm having a really hard time figuring out what year it's from, the guy I bought it from had it advertised as a 1995, then I found out it might be a 1991 since google results show the same bike.. but then someone is selling the same one I have but as a 1988 so.. I was hoping that you guys could help me figure out what it really is. Here is some pics I just took a while ago to help out(sorry for the quality it's dark outside and the garage doesn't get much light) couldn't post the images, too big.

wild foamy Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 MX clocks, motor and swingarm, R body panels tank and seat?? O.o a standard DT MX has a round headlight with skinny nacelle, smaller yokes e.t.c It's a bit of an oddball, iirc the DT50MX ran from 1983 to 1994, only real change was from points to CDi ignition around 1986-87 The front end is definitely not original as it has a front disc instead of drum brakes The Haynes manual states that VIN numbers for the DT50MX are either 5M6, 2FN or 4ER1... So I'm at a bit if a loss on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well thanks for the info.. still lost as for what year it's from but eh it works, I probably wont be using it long enough to bother putting any money into it just some to keep it running and so forth.
