    Have the chance of buying what I thought was a complete ( non runner )WR430 road registered however all is not what it seems. The side panels had remains of gaffa tape and after removing the sticker says an XC and the frame number is XN18##0 and the tank is black is this a 1982 XC430? the reg number belongs to a yamaha 1981 however changing a number 2 to 3 comes up as a blue husky 1981 430. I cannot find an engine number neither. The guy says he has a log book but does not know where it is he raced the bike in enduros in the 80's so it has sat for 30yr .No dints in the ally tank, header and tail pipe solid no pitting on the fork tubes nor the shocker rods. Had the bike running briefly .Would love to get the bike to a good usable condition however in two minds.

    Can you post a picture or two? Also the complete frame number. The motor serial number if it is a 430 will be lightly stamped into the motor case on the high area next to the kick lever.
