Cool!
There was a fair number of them around in the day, based on race reports in ADB. Most of the A&T bikes seemed to get the 'enduro extras' at the time.

Didn't read/hear of any being fitted with a 6-speed though - presumably from an IT or a YZ250G.

If you decide to move it on, I'd be interested (not sure where I'd find the money, but where there's a will there's usually a way...).

My friend at work still has one.
Can't remember what box it had 5 or 6 speed but it was wide ratio...maybe IT internals.
Lighting coil etc,complianced.
Not sure the last time he rode it but he won't sell it either

You sure it's an S, not a T??

I thought A&T only complianced the T.   Still have one of those compliance plates at home.. 

"1987 Yamaha YZ250AT"

[holeshot buddy]

its complianced as a yz250AT 1988
BUT ITS DRUM REAR WITH A 1LU ENGINE

[IT400C]

yeah, so is mine - mine's dated 2/88.  That's when the compliance plate approval was issued.  They were 1987 YZ250T's sold in 1988 with a compliance plate..

I do recall reading that A&T got the compliance plates sorted very late in the year - when the next year's models were coming out, which must have sucked for them.

The '87 YZ-T still had a rear drum.
