Unknown Yamaha

[pkershen]

I have a Yamaha bike that was left at my house and was wondering if anyone could help me determine the year/model. Picture is attached.

[Hyperwarrior22]

The seat is on backwards

[shano]

looks like its an' older it250 or something along those lines.

[CDCHONDAS]

looks smaller like an 80cc older yz80 maybe

[csimp3]

here is an 83 that looks very similar

but notice the different swingarm and stuff, which is kinda wierd, so heres a pic of an 81' that has the same swingarm and stuff, but a very different tank

i dunno, those are pics of 80cc bikes, which is what it looks like to me, so it must be between those years

81 or 82 YZ60. I am sure. That is why the suspension is the same as the YZ80 pic above but different seat. I remember a friend having one as a kid.

if you want to know the exact year and model look on the frame where the tripple clamps bolt on up front and there will be all the info you need including the serial number, model, and manufacture date. its normally located on the right hand side when your sitting on the bike (left hand if your standing in front of it facing it)

hope that helps, tell us what you find out.

It's a yamaha zinger 60cc.


I have the quad version that runs, and the bike is somewhere but realy rough condition.

That bike is an '82 YZ80, which is the only year that had the radiator mounted up on the forks.
