I was highn bidder on a 1074 RD 350, when the seller contacted me for payment, he said his yamaha guru told him it wasn't a 350 but 250. I'm green to Rd models how can I tell before I drive to pick it up. He seems to think It's a 250 with 350 body work The Vin or Frame # is 352210519 I need help fast.

yup down by the oil filler 1500cc, actually the engine size is moulded on the bottom of the barrels. but the plot thickens as the uk had a 250cc learner law the popular mod was to grind off the size and fit 350 barrels to a 250, simple mod to get a faster learner bike, you need to look at the frame engine numbers 351-*****= 350A 352-****= 250A 521-***** = 350B

522-**** = 250B 1A3-**** = 400 cc (barrels not interchangeable) 1A2-***** later 250,s you can firt 350 barrels with a few mods
