markg Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Hi all, My brother in Australia just purchased a TY with 125 stickers on it. Frame number 5890047-- and engine number is just 589, nothing following. Bore is 66mm so guessing it's a 175 bore. . I have searched the id tables but can't find a model 589. Anyone any ideas what year this may be? And should it be a 125? Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petert Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 If that began 539 it would denote a TY125 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feetupfun Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 the lack of any numbers after the 539 probably means that the casing has been replaced with a new spare part. It is pretty common for people to fit 66mm barrels on TY125s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feetupfun Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 The TY125 was not sold new in Australia so you may need to look up a French or German listing of Yamaha models to prove to yourself about the model prefix 539 meaning TY125 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feetupfun Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) Looks like it is a second hand import from Japan http://www.yamahaty.com/english/arbreen.html Edited June 24, 2014 by feetupfun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markg Posted June 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Thanks for the replies. I found the info for serial number 539 but this one is definately 589. It is the same yellow colors as the 539. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
