Sorry mate never even seen that model around in the UK tho a 650 thumper would be a fun ride.

I would check the part number for the rim & see if it matches any other model of yamaha. Yamaha use their parts bins well trying not to have too many varients of an item.

That's got me thinking though. would a TRX 17" wheel fit?

FB,
the hassle TGeo has is that he is in Romania which is behind God's back as far as biking goes even scrapped bikes.

We are still trying to get him an online Clymers manual which is progressing albeit slowly.
