Hi

Post by jay20jay20 »

hi all
I have been on here a while by the looks of it but never posted.
my 4xv has been sat for 3 years doing nothing and with the boredom going on at the moment I have started playing with it.
I came back on here to try and find some info regarding if my bike is a 98 or 99. I know this sounds completely stupid but its a bit confusing as a few things contradict each other. I shall put a post up shortly in the 4xv section so if you can help or just want to tell me I'm thick please have a look.
thanks
jay

Thanks all. I have emailed yamaha and they have got back to me confirming it's a 98 model. So this is good news as this is the colour scheme I wanted when I was a kid but the bad news is trying to find the proper fairing and seats is going to be hard. I only got the bike out as I was thinking of selling it as i have owned this bike for around 4/5 years and not used it in at least 3 years but I suppose I'm going to have to keep it now.
