March 30, 20215 yr New to me 74 TY 250 as of yesterday. Can anyone recommend the proper frame paint for this beauty? TIA Edited March 30, 20215 yr by PeterM text correction
March 31, 20215 yr Medium silver metallic. There looks to be plenty of original paint there to do a match at a paint shop if you want it to be exact. The wheel hubs are the same colour as the frame. How early is the frame/engine number? I see it has the early type fork sliders.

Feetupfun : the matching numbers are. 434-006798 Can you tell me how early of a production model this is? Do you know if Yamaha provided a MSO or title at time of sale? I received a bill of sale at time of sale. Thank You

Thank You That is not very early but early enough to have the fork sliders they started production off with. Another thing that changed during production of the 434 model is the cylinder casting. The earliest production bikes have an un-finned section above the exhaust port. I've heard that production TY250A numbering started at 434-000101. Sorry I have no idea about title or MSO in your country.
March 31, 20215 yr Great looking bike you have Peter, very original condition and still has the lights fitted. Can someone please tell me what changes were made to the fork sliders?

March 31, 20215 yr In Canada and I believe the USA was the same, all the paperwork to register was provided by Yamaha to the retailer. Guy
