IDontWantAPickle Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Hi all I have been given a sweet motorcycle a few days back that i am trying to get going. I am a possum trapper and this would make thing alot better!! It was found by my neighbour in the ditch after a big landslide blocked the old raod for several weeks a couple years ago. I have done some basic things to try to get it going as in clean the carb/atempted to rewire it ect but i still have no luck. I am trying to find more information about the bike but it is an old one with a 9 digit VIN that i can not find 16A-000181 on frame and on engine I am new to this forum, new to Yamaha bikes!! and i was hoping some of you good folks could help me decode it and get it back running!! I will put pics up and document my progress if we can work this out ! Thanks alll
Malleus Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Hi, Welcome to the YOC. This post has a link to a document which identifies part number prefixs which also tells you what model from the prefix of 9 digit vin number. 16A looks like XT-125J -
DutchFJ1200 Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 G'day Mate, That looks suspiciously like a Yamaha XT-250 ..... or what's left of it. 4 stroke 1 cylinder 250 CC (Edit : must have missed Malleus post - I stand corrected ..... ah well close enough .... and pic replaced by correct one) Although the exhaust on European models is on the LHS but this could be a previous owner bastardisation. 1
