Yamaha introduced the TZR125 in 1987 and production ended in 1992. It is identified by the single square headlight at the front of the box fairing, clip-ons located on top of the yoke, single seat and conventional forks. Later TZR's can be identified by three-spoke magnesium alloy wheels and a rear disc brake. The first generation has a number of variants: 2RH; 2RJ; 2RK; 2RL; 2RM; 2RN; 2TU; 2UT; 2VR; 3FN; 3PA; 3PB; 3PC; 3PD; 3PE; 3SY; 3TY. First Generation tzr 4dl 1 (R) In 1991, Yamaha introduced the R series of TZR125s which have very little in common with the previous generation. Known as 4dl series 1 They can be identified by the separate rider and pillion seats, and it has a squared rear fairing with storage compartment under the seat accessed by a flap at the rear, upside down forks, scoops on the sides of the fairings. it is easily distinguished in comparison with the series 2 It was assembled by Belgarda in Italy from imported Japanese parts and made use of Italian components. Brembo brake system and rims, upside down Paioli forks and the crankcase manufactured by Moto Minarelli. The 4DLs can be identified by the code 3MB00 embossed on the cylinder block and 4DL at the start of the serial numbers on the crankcase and frames. The 4DL came in two versions. Series 1 ended in 1992 or 1993. from 1993 onwards came the TZR 125 (RR) (series 2) which is a very different bike with a revised engine. Some of the differences between the series 1 (R) and series 2 (RR) are as follows different gearing and gearbox components cylinder and cylinder head, CDI, servo, fairings, frame (braced with cut outs near seat), exhaust (long stinger), airbox, storage access changed with newer fairing no sidelight above the headlight. and new paint schemes easily distinguishable against the series 1. it also uses a smaller carburettor
