yz250: Years for the white airbox.

[Yz426King]

What years of yz250 between 96-01 had the white airboxes? I am going to put the yz250 airbox and side panels onto my yz426. It will not only save about 1.5lbs, but it will also look really damn cool. Does anyone have a yz250 seat, white sidepanels, or airbox that they have laying around that they would like to get rid of for real cheap to a fellow DRN'er?

I think the white airbox was on the bike in 2000-2001. The airbox on the 1997-1998 is black. The box is basically the same, except color. The intake boot changed on the bikes when they went to the newer motor.

I had a 2000 with a white air box.

YZ king, contact me at jamesc4085@msn.com I have a black airbox that might help you out. Not in terrific shape, but maybe enough to try on for size.

yz king, it was the '00 & '01 with the white air box. I've got one, however, I think I'll need to hang on to it, ... trying to sell my '00 and I put a new black box on. I know someone is going to think it's an '99 because of the box.

Will the 250 box bolt up to the subframe of your 426? I always liked the look of the 4 strokes with the hand holds in the side plates.

The 96-01 yz250 airboxes will bolt up to the 426 subframe, but the yz250 side panels must also be used. Why do this? It saves as much weight as a DSP full carbon fiber airbox! Does anyone happen to have an old yz250 seat. All I really need is the seat pan, but the whole thing will do.
