Old mate has it built on the 7/1990.....which would make it a 1990 or even a 1991 model.
I wonder were he got that date from,Pretty sure Yams of this era only had a VIN ,No build date except for the rims maybe,perhaps compliance plated  :-\ I seem to recall them bringing out a limited run of plated ones in the WR version if it is one :-\, I think they may have had a lighting coil too :)

You might be right as my 2 1989 YZ250's are 3JE - xxxx.  But that is weird because as I posted earlier, I called him and he told me he purchased 1989 parts for the bike and they didn't fit so he went back to Yamaha who told him it was a 1990 model and supplied the parts that did fit.

Anyway I don't care as I'm not in the market for the bike  :)
