Id for 1975 model mx250 head
« on: March 06, 2010, 07:45:05 pm »
Guys I need a bit of id assistance regarding the Yamaha MX250 75 model head.
I have a DT250a,which is a 74 model,but it has a radial head instead of a finned one,as per that year.
Now,I've found some pics which weren't that great,along with no description of the bike model.To me the pics looked like an MX250 1975.
Did the MX250 in 1974 have the radial head,or did it have the finned one,same as the DT250 of the same year?
Hate to turn up for pre 75 only to be shunted into pre 78,due to this.

                                                Cheers,Mark.

Thanks DC.
Pardon my ignorance,but whats the difference between finned and radial heads?
Also,is the radial head a better head to run on the DT?

I think the radial heads cooled better, probably not legal for pre 75 as that was the year they came out.
