Title: Interchangability of YZ250A and 125A tanks
Post by: Marc.com on March 26, 2011, 02:07:01 pm

Sitting on a couple of YZ125A tanks and have 250 with horror tank coming. Any thoughts about interchangeability from the YZA gurus.

the moounts at the front are differqant on the tanks the 125 is further forward and higher as well as the tunnel width.

The YZB 250/360 tanks fit though and i had one painted up as a 'A' and you cant tell unless you turn it over and see the straight through in the tunnel.  ( more room for cables and stuff on the A frame thought -  Tank ended up looking too good, so never used it in the end)

NO probs if you get stuck, can help you on the restored tank on the right but its swaps only.

Freaky   No haven't heard anything from Bill yet (except what you already know)   I can send out a box this week for you  I need to get some room back in the garage. I also need to send Marc some parts too.  I use a 75 tank on my race bike because I had one that was in pretty bad shape so it made the perfect candidate for a racer.  Tom
