    Can anyone recommend a good user/experts forum for a friend restoring a Yamaha XT200?

    thanks


    [PS. It's an amazing story (to me anyway): He bought the bike as his first real toy after being hired by Kodak as a photographer years ago, and used it to take his daughter trail riding.

    Then, right after his daughter died, some weirdos came to his house talking about remodeling but looking around at everything. (may have gotten his name from obituaries). Next day he home from work to find it gone.

    12 years later he told the story to a city maintenance man, who said they found a motorcycle like that around 12 years ago in the ditch and it was still sitting in the maintenance yard. Sure enough the title numbers matched and he got his bike back. (probably quit on the thieves, who just dumped it.)

    Now he's restoring it as a sentimental project and I hope he can find the quality of knowledge and help for his XT that I've found here in the XJ forum.]

    Thanks, OG. Appreciate the help, I'll pass it on.


    [btw, if the name means the same, I'm an OG, too. Carried a Mattel-16 thru a scenic Asian garden spot some years back.]
