    Can't find the model of my bike

    I've always thought it was a Yamaha Scorpio 225 '08, but whenever I try to look through online parts catalogues (and also super cheap auto parts catalogues) I can't read find the bike model.

    On Carjam it says it's a a Yamaha SX-4W. My manual says it's an SX-4, Wikipedia says a Scorpio Z. All of these I can't ever find in any catalogues.

    I've purchased an oil filter on the basis of this website http://www.mrmotorcycles.co.nz/fitme...-225-2012.aspx but when I try to find the bike manually on that site I can't find it (someone else kindly found h corr cut link for me).

    How do I know what the model is that can b found in parts catalogues?

    Thanks

    Jack85 lives in Christchuch according to his profile.
    We have two Yamaha sole dealerships, and both are fine and doing well.
    Either dealership could easily help him.
    An observation: WR & YZ 450 uses the same oil filter as the WR & YZ 426 , I think maybe the 250's use it as well, but not sure. They have used the same filter for years.
    I wouldn't be surprised if all the 225cc engines originally used in an xt and tt and scorpio all use the same oil filter as each other, and possibly other yamaha air cooled engines. No reason to change it. An answer a dealer could easily give.

    I called Trevor Price and they just confirmed its a SX-4, but whenever I look to buy any aftermarket parts for it I can't find them. I asked TPY what air filter they take and they just said their OEM one
