Every since I was a kid I wanted a "Big Red". I finally bought one cheap and its not in bad shape just needs a few things. Where can I find parts if I ever need anything? Any help would be great!
I get all myparts formy 1982 200E Big Red from DGY (Downers Grove Yamaha). They are pretty good and can get parts pretty quickly. They are located in Illinois, but I am sure that you can find a dealer close by that can get you parts. Most of the parts I get are OEM but I am sure you can find aftermarker.
And don't forget Craigslist for a parts bike, and also lie-bay...always scalpers on there selling stuff for them.
I have had one for years...can't hurt it....use it once or twice a year. Cheap to run and go forever.
Take good care of it and they continue to increase in value....mine cost me $300 12 or 14 years ago, and I expect it is still woth that today....maybe more.
I have the same one and they are really fun so when something goes on them i get all my parts from Dennis Kirk. They ship the same day you order and they have many parts to chose from.
