the 250 you have to put it in 1st gear then go into reverse mine has the sticker on it how i found out

[@jarronhaleysorrell]

They need to be in 1st to get reverse

I like the barn find! The things I would say is that the white Moto 4 is a 100cc "Champ" the blue ones are 80cc "Badgers." Also, to put the red Moto 4 into reverse, put it into 1st gear, then pull the reverse lever. If that doesn't work, the linkage may need to be adjusted, nice video.

Thanks for the info and compliment! I am going to try that on the 250cc!!

The blue ones are 80 c c mini motos . The white one could be a champ but I think it's a breeze.

@@toddpetersen2251 The nameplate for the 80cc quads made by Yamaha from 1985-2008 was named the “Badger” officially called the YFM80, meaning it’s a “Yamaha-Four-Moto” just as the 200cc Moto-4 quads had the official naming of YFM200, and again the first three letters of it stand for Yamaha Four Moto (Moto-4). Yamaha never made any four wheeler officially called a “Mini Moto”. If the white one was 125cc, it is a Breeze, however the 100cc quads were called “Champs”, officially named the YFM100, and also being Moto-4s. Also, if the time era was all the same on these quads being the late 80s, the bigger Moto-4 250 came out in 1987, the badger in 1985, and the Champ in 1987 as well. If the one quad was 125 it’d be a Breeze but those weren’t Moto-4s (YFA1) and they came out in 1989-90.

whats the "switch" on the dash of the 250 yall were messing with I've got a 350 and it has one of those im not to knowledgeable of quads so im not sure of its purpose

[@StanwoodStudios]

That’s the choke to richen the fuel air mixture in the carburetor going into the intake so it starts easier when cold!
