'92 Yamaha WR200
-
Hello!
I am looking for an aluminum swingarm for a custom project. I have a Yamaha XT660 and my swingarm has the same progression system as WR200. In addition, many parts have the same serial number. Can anyone take measurements for me? I am attaching a few sketched screenshots. Thanks!

@Challenger Thank you very much for your quick reply! You helped me a lot! Thanks!

Today the black rear wheel from WR125X arrived.
Its a funny thing that I keep buying the SM stuff that I will barely use as I prefer the off-road wheels, but its a nice addition to have for the bike. And it was just so cheap I couldnt pass it.
So thats how the SM wheels setup of a guy that preferes offroad looks like:
(wheels are dirty on the pic, the first pic shows the black rear wheel after cleaning)And currently Im waiting for my second WR frame to be back from powder coating. I will be switching the frame in the bike.
And I also got some work done on my 3rd project
Does anyone recognize this engine?
-
@Challenger DT250 engine?
Yeah nice setup of sumo rollers
-
@Calum naa, you need to think more off-road, not dual sport types of old yama bikes
And also I forget to mention that I keep bending the original rims, of course they are known from rotting from the inside which i cleaned as good as I could, but there is no point for me to change them for new ones if they will be bent in a couple of rides.
But I have an extra set of enduro wheels too, so thats not a big problem -
-
@Calum yes, they are aluminium, but the front DT wheel wont fit because of the different brake disc. I will probably just ride the both sets of enduro wheels and when they will be all bent I'll buy some new rims. Other than that I want to keep this bike as close to original as I can. Now it has the cylinder sleeve instead of nicasil plating already(which I think is a good choice for this bike) but I dont want to use the heavy steel wheels. I dont even think they would be that much tougher. Almost all of the DT's I saw had a bent on a front rim.
But yeah, I just like to go full throttle on the rubble covered roads sometimes

@Challenger
I’ve had steel wheels rust out inside, never had an ally one ‘rot’. It just looks like you stoked it on a rock. You might be able to get it straightened with heat. You’d have to retemper the metal after though... -
Pandemic hits hard. During the times where i got nothing to do, i rebuilt my old man's bike and it ended up looking like yours! After he discovered what I did, he ended up gifting it to me for my hard work on his bike itself.
-
My dt200wr is stuck in my garage right now going no where as my coolant tank is dead - let me know if you have any spares for sale as I also could do with a decent 2 stroke tank as well
-
@nottsbiker was it you asking about the coolant tank on facebook group? I sent you the link to ebay item, what was wrong with it?
@donaldmendez nice story, would be nice to see the result here
-
Yes it is me on FB
From memory one tank (the good one) sold before I could get to it and the other one (painted) was too shabby to use unfortunately.
I'm keeping an eye out for a NOS one but this might be a never gonna happen type scenario
Just picked up a NOS headlight surround and complete throttle cable to go with some other bits I've got stashed away so there are good bits still out there

@nottsbiker I still have it, just pulled it off the .co.uk because of brexit and plane travel ban
Been riding a bit on the WR this weekend - its hard. No matter how well I dress its still cold, its even hard to start and warm the bike - it doesnt have a thermostate so it takes a lot of time when its -15*C outside. But it was still fun, tried to do some sideways action
And, as always there is a short video:

Lol I nearly messaged you via ebay but then I assumed it had sold
If you have anything for sale feel free to PM me a list via FB or here

-
The rear does, the front hub has a unique 3XP part number for the DT200WR and WR200 only
-
@nottsbiker I'm pretty sure a wr400 wheel fits with the right spacers each side. My bike came with a spare set of wheels, the front one was a wr400. I didn't ever fit it but the previous owner said he used it with his off road tyres.
Also I'm pretty sure a TT or TTR model shares the same front disc
