Yamaha SR185

[adam666]

Can anyone comment on these yamahas?

any typical problems? things to look for?

gonna go and check one out this weekend, pretty cheap, but says its all good.
no wof , no reg. needs electrical work, fuses etc (which is something I can fix)

(i know there'll be a few 'girls bike!' comments but aside from that :p )

cheers

(army abuse syndrome)
getting it to a usable state is taking too long and Im itchin to get out this cage :wait:

Ill just flick it once the other is ready to go any how

figure its ok since Im a newbie licence guy and first time biker :first:

Keep in mind that new reg will cost $350, and you need previous reg documentation. Otherwise the reg process is costly.
Ask why, if the electrical problem is just a fuse, why has it not been replaced. It may be more complex problem.

Hi,
Goin to see it tomorrow so will take a meter etc to check wiring while there.


and FYI:
-I was quoted $100 to re-vin by vehicle testing centre, lower hutt.
-if no prev-reg papers available, testing centre will give you two forms:

1. Police clearance : checks frame # in case listed as stolen.
2. ownership confirmation: signed and witnessed(?) to state that you are the legal owner.

then they will re-vin no problem.

had same issue with my KLR, police clearance form is good piece of mind for any bike which isnt on the vehicle registrar.

cheers
Adam
