Yamaha Tri Z 250 ATV (1985-1986)

The Yamaha Tri Z 250, produced in 1985 and 1986, is an iconic three-wheeled ATV powered by a liquid-cooled, 246 cc two-stroke single-cylinder engine, delivering approximately 30 horsepower. Renowned for its performance and agility, it stood out as a powerful recreational vehicle of its era. During these two years, the Tri Z 250 was primarily offered as a single model, with variations mainly in color schemes, such as Competition Yellow or Yamaha Black in 1985, and a black and red combination in 1986. The most significant evolution between the 1985 and 1986 Yamaha Tri Z 250 models involved its transmission and suspension. The 1985 model featured a 5-speed constant mesh transmission, whereas the 1986 model was upgraded to a 6-speed transmission, enhancing its versatility. Additionally, the 1986 suspension received improvements, including stronger 39mm front forks with increased travel, extending to a full 25 cm, making the system more capable and fully tunable. The 246 cc engine remained fundamentally the same, focusing on mid-range power. Q: How can I ensure this part fits my Tri Z 250?
