The make (manufacturer) is Yamaha. The model is what your looking for. Look for a placard on the steering head or get the V.I.N. off the engine and cross reference it.

Yamaha dirtbike? Post a pic and I stand a good chance of making an I.D. from that. I've ridden, raced and crashed most Yamaha, Suzuki, and Honda dirtbikes from the late 70's to late 90's.... and mowed over most Kawasaki's from the same period.

Pic's please..... :mrgreen:
No Witnesses.... :shifty:
