Title: Anyone ID this model?
Post by: 52 on February 06, 2011, 12:17:00 pm

Mate has a 360 eng no RT1-188916. Motor has tacho blanked off like factory does. Conical drum on front with factory blank on speedo (conical sounds wrong) Mtr has reed. Frame has bracket for brake light sw. To me it sounds RT2MX but I'm not sure. Any conformations?

Sounds like RT2M to me too.

Based on what's been described, I'd guess RT2MX too.

Oil injection tank, exhaust and flywheel/front sprocket cover are probably the easiest ways to ID an MX from a cookie cutter version.

Pics would be very useful.

Thanks Jim, I should have asked you direct. Sounds like the front wheel is wrong? / thanks Nathan an JC ( are you God, surely you wouldn't ride a Yammy). Hope the back is better Jim.
