[Aussie_T100]

Here in Australia the SRV250 was only imported in 1995 (SRV250G) and again in 1997 (Renaissa). The numbers of these bikes that were imported was very low so used parts are almost impossible to find here.

I did find ways to identify which other Yamaha models used the same parts that were used on the SRV250 and that opened up much greater scope for sourcing used parts in Australia.

I first found a parts fiche here:-

http://www.portmacquariemotorcycles.com.au/parts

To use this site first click "Yamaha".

Then select a year (1995 for SRV250G or 1997 for Renaissa).

Then select the model (SRV250).

When you click on a section you are taken to a page that lists all of the parts in that section with an exploded view at the top. If you click on a particular part in the list you are taken to a page that also shows what other Yamaha models (sold in Australia) that particular parts was used on. For example, in the 1995 SRV250 front wheel section if you click on part number 4DN-25190-02 (Speedometer gear drive) you are taken to this page:-

http://c8software.com.au/shopv2/pmm/find/part/M.574125

Here you can see that this part was also used on XV250 from 1999 to 2014 in Australia.

Although the SRV250 was never sold in the US I also found a US site that is also useful for identifying other US models that parts are used on:-

http://www.2wheelpros.com/oem-parts/yamaha-parts.html

Enter part number in search box at top and click "Search".

Results will show which US models used that part.

For example if you search for 42X-83507-00 (cover, speedometer) you are taken to these results:-

http://www.2wheelpros.com/oem-parts/yama...-part.html


Here you can see that this part was used in many other models sold in the US. I was able to use this information to source a pair of NOS gauge covers on eBay in the US for example.

There is also another European site that is useful for identifying which other models (sold in Europe) used the same parts as the SRV250. To use this site you simply copy and paste the following text into the address bar in your browser:-

"www.bike-parts-yam.com/yamaha-microfiches-affectation-piece.html?text_recherche2=PartNumber"

Change the red text for the particular part number you are searching for. As an example if you were searching for 33M-22311-01 (chain guard) you would be taken to this page:-

http://www.bike-parts-yam.com/yamaha-mic...2311-01-00

Here you can see that this part was also used on XJ600 from 1986 to 1991.

When you search these sites it is surprising just how many other Yamaha models used the same parts as the SRV250.
