Post by: RM Ted on January 22, 2008, 06:54:56 pm

9/84 is the date it was made: If it was fitted to an MX bike, then it woulda been an '85 model, but trail and enduro bikes are harder to know.

Width says that it was a 250 or bigger.

Colour of rim?

Late edit, after I'd read oldstuff's post: Ew, 2.50 is pretty uncommon - I'm sure they were fitted to other bikes, but I've only seen them on IT250/465/490s (in silver) and a couple of years of YZ250/490 (in gold).
They're an odd looking rim - really square shouldered.

My IT490K (1983) has a 2.50" X 18" rim, and I am looking for a crack free straight rim.
