BF Mafia call to arms!

[Blaner]

Ok, this dude is selling a YZ 125 frame with a so called "blaster air cooled motor" now at first I was "Oh wow, thats cool!" but upon further inspection i found that hang on, this is not a blaster motor! in fact i dont know what it is!

Clutch arm is on the wrong side, the head has a frame mount bolt hole, the reed/intake casting of the jug is angled too far down, the clutch cover is different and so is the flywheel cover.

Here it is.

He is not charging a lot R3500 is about $448 but still, nothing grates me more than bad seller information!

perhaps that's an it200 engine? i dunno much about the older yamahas, but for 448 bucks i'd try it though.

 

[CARNZ]

Anyone else notice the shock? It has a remote rezzie and it looks about the size for a blaster.... Hmmm haha

 

[Blaner]

ok Awk, thats the motor but look at the swingarm...your 81 pic has a triangular effect while this guys bike does not. also the fit between the tank and the seat is different. the number board is also on the opposite side.

maybe a newer year that retained the air cooled motor?

However, it is not a blaster motor!

 

[Awk08]

yeah,the pic i posted was just confirming, if even only to myself, that yami did indeed actually make a right side drive
could be a different year

 

[York Racing]

I emailed him. Anybody else email him?

The 81' 125 was liquid cooled.
