looking to find out what year this dirt bike is i'm thinking about buying for my kids. vin is LLCHYJ10451000805 but the vin decoder i found said it is not a yamaha vin # any ideas how to find this out or what year it is? the guy is asking $250 but I think it needs some carb work.

thank you in advance

 

im almost positive that yamaha never made 49cc. they made a 90cc.
the decoder is rite. i dont think its realy a yamaha motor.
the guy mite have put a different frame on it or sumthing.
aint sure i wuld buy it.
iv never heard of a dirt runner baha.
mite b some off brand and they guy is tellin u its a yamaha.

 

that's it. it is not a yamaha. I want to buy it but my concern is parts or repair. it appears to be an off brand bike. if the carb needs work i wonder how and where to get parts.

 

My guess is that it is a Baja Motorsports Dirt Runner 49cc:

Here's the parts catalog for it:

My nephew had a Dirt runner 125. It was OK...Never had to try to get parts for it though....He wound up getting a 05 crf150 instead.

 

i heard form baha today apparently the bike is a 05 and parts are readily available for it. thanks for the links and info.

 

I have a 2005 baja 50 too. Its a fun little bike and all but be warned...... The air filter is crap. The kids ran it through mud and stuff and before I got to servicing it they sucked in too much dirt and now it smokes the blues! So I need new rings I guess. It nees a little shield or something so the mudd doesn't fly off the back tire and into the foam air filter!! Better yet take the stock air filter off and find a little clamp on one. I wish I would have done that right when we got it!


There is a form on the web that has lots of info on these little things. I can't remember the name of the darn website right now. Anyway there was guys there that were doing little mods. on them.

 

thanks for the tip. I will be sure to make the air filter mod. if you think of that website be sure to post a link

thanks again
