yet another model year ?

[JBK248]

Ok, ive been looking for a half hour and decided to turn to you fine folks

Model # 25gem
Serial # gh7 L 500230

I was able to detrermine it is post 1983 and I believe the "L" to depict shaft lenth. Other than that I am at a loss. Also if you know of a good link. It'd be much appretiated! Looking for a manual if you have any suggestions!

Thanks a bunch!

Re: yet another model year ?

ok, after the wife set me free from kids birthday parties and visiting with her parents I found an adhesive model # on the starburd side of shaft that reads 25eln.
1984 is what i come up with.
2 different model #'s for different countries? all I can come up with. Anybody know for sure?

Look here at post #3:

Yamaha year code M? - RIBnet Forums

Do you have a letter in the lower right of the plate (the "S" in that example)?
