Project Yamaha SRX 250cc

Just joined this forum member , so hi to all.Have just purchased a sad SRX 250FN. It seems to be all there so far via the pictures that was sent to me.Paint work seems pretty sad the age of the bike and that's to be expected. The bike is red in colour , well faded that is , so i'm trying to find out either the colour code or what actually red colour is suppose to be.Already chasing parts for it on the web as the bike is still in transit so it wont be arriving for another week.Can anyone help with the colour please.

 

Hello to all that chimed in. Hi Andy , yes buddy that's me , i'm busted !. Have been looking for a while missed the SRX at Bondi though.Found one in another state , took a while to secure it though but it's finally on the move. I still have one of the original Pre-Release information Yamaha SRX Brochures from back in the days that where supplied to the Yamaha Agents, it's pretty cool thing actually it compares the 250's from back in the days (VT250F/GPZ250/GSX250ESD/GN250/SR250 to the SRX .I also still have from back in the days a magazine called Quarter Litre road tests, iv'e been dragging this stuff around for around thirty years .I'm use to having pretty neat bikes but this one is definitely used and hasn't been looked after ,well not to my standards.I'm one of those guys that polish his lawn mower & rideon, yep sick in the head and i admit it !.Hi Kiffsta and Risky , thanks guys , will have a look for the sticker when the bike finally arrives to it's new home.Hi Murdo , well you forgot to drop in for coffee , you would have gone straight past our place as where right on the highway. There has been heaps of bike lately heading towards QLD , where you on a bike ?.Been trying to get hold of Yamaha USA to see if i ca get a PDF file of exploded view and part number , but so far failed.I'm after one part and then i'd be happy , but need the part number to start asking around.Anyone have this PDF file squirreled away ?.

 

Hi Andy
Thanks heaps for the links ,it's like a huge lolly shop to me !.The part i'm after is the belly pan and associated fittings but the description / part numbers are M.I.A. No doubt not available in Australia , so had to look via the web site that you've supplied in Japan.Tried last night on that site but still lucked out !. Thanks for the colour code etc , i'll remove the tank and see how nice the paint work is and at'least i can show the paint man what it is.Cant wait for the SRX to arrive, i'm just a big kid at heart.

 

HI Andy , since your'e the spare parts expert , any chance that you can help me find one please with the fittings ?, any contacts that you could ask for me.The bike is still in transit so i cant supply any pictures as yet, but have to admit i'm surprised that i actually bought it , but it's the best one i could find at the time.Iv'e only rebuilt one bike and that was over twenty odd years ago and have just sold it, was very sad to see it go.

 

That's OK buddy , but at'least you're aware of me looking for one.Maybe someone will read this and have one sitting in the shed that there willing to sell.

 

HI Murdo. Thanks heaps for the info.Have emailed them to see what they might have to fit. Personally don't like my chances at all , but with help with the forum one might appear out of the ashes.
