Geoff Eldridge YZ360A and 250A "UPDATE"

[Richo52]

Chassis a bit short for all that power.......the 250A are very twitchy with a much smaller engine.I was building the same bike as Eldridges a few years ago and canned it for the same reason.I had a 250A frame and 360B motor :-)

[Slakewell]

The A had more light weight parts over the B. Reliability was better with the B with the beefier parts.
Shift drum and gears has more holes on the A.

I been told the pipe is a Vintage Iron unit, the 250 has the same pipe.

[Richo52]

Shit Micko you have half a dozen old bikes already......you hve the bug haha ;-)

Am I missing something?
performance wise it would have been exactly the same as a 360 A

They look like standard Yamaha pipes to me.
Typically pressed halves from Japan
Also I haven't noticed the cable mount near the carby on any aftermarket pipes except my own

This is where I'd like to point out my new-found maturity that allows me to not answer with phrases like "sex appeal", "IQ points" or "a running bike".
You're welcome.

[GMC]

Yes I've been missing the sharp wit of the forum...





and still missing it

[Nathan S]

Indeed. I should stop holding myself back.

[Rossvickicampbell]

[micko]

I ain't no expert that's why I post on here ? a close up of the 250 pipe

[micko]

And another

[Nathan S]

That's not a stock pipe.

Yes that 250 pipe is aftermarket for sure.
The jury is still out on the 360 pipe though as it has a Yamaha look about it.
Do you have any closeups of it?
