NZcruzer Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Hi everyone I am Caleb. I live in the Waikato region in NZ. I just got given a yamaha motorbike and I have no idea what it is. It needs some work so I was hoping I could get some help identifying. I took some photos and I would have attached them but the size limit is crazy. It has a 2500cm3 stamped on the motor and judging by a date on the I'd tag it's from 86. Any help would be awesome. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nayruf Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Hi 2500 cm3?? this volume would be way too much for a normal bike, I think it reads 250 cc and the first 'C' looks like a 0, post a pic and it will be easy to identify. With 250 cc on the side of the motor case, I guess it is for the volume of oil in the case, though thats a low quantity too!! The motor engine size is normally on the cylinder of the bike. my bike has 171 cc on the cylinder and 650cc on the engine case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
