I can tell by the pictures but does that thing have a 2inch paddle??
The guy you bought it from did he buy it new?
If not I think I know who might have had it about 10 or so years back
Thats a good sled you got there those 570 Exciter were quite the thing in there day

Sorry to tell you, but that aint no 93 unless someone swapped out the cowl and graphics. In 93 all Exciters were Exciter II's. Those pictures are of a early exciter.

Evolution of the Exciter and Yamaha sleds in general.
Sorry, have to agree with Maddog. On the other hand, $700 dollars for a sled that runs can hardly be beat.

thats sled not a 1987 , 1987 had a differnet hood and had red writing, 2nd it has the same hood as my 1989 but differnet graffic sceme. 3rd it was not the 87 seven that had the carb promble it was the 89 when the swtiched to a round side. 4th the 87 carb had a lil hard starting when warm. i know this because i own a 1987 and 1989 exciter. the 87 is a part sled and the 89 i use, for some strang reason the 87 carbs get better fuel milage.
so thats my story and i'm sticking to it

yes '87 carbs DID have issues with frothing as a result of the vibrations of the engine. The boots also had something to do with this, allowing too much of the vibration from the engine to get to the carbs. The vibration caused the fuel to froth, and when it got sucked into the engine, bam, lean condition and seizure.

Just bought this 1990 with electric start, 4500mi in pretty decent shape for $700.00 ! I have a set of 94-96 5-600 Vmax struts,covers,steering knuckles which will add 2.5" of travel after I widen it out to 42" and add a set of USI skies. Then I have a new Polaris 133"x7/8" track I'll put on after I drop the rear of rear suspension down 3" to compensate for the longer struts.

The 87 I believe were a butterfly/float style setup which ran good but, were hard to keep jetted (anyone remember the infamous 82 SRX ?) I bought a New leftover 1988 Exciter in 89 with 38 Roundslides. Yamaha changed the jetting, needles and airbox design in 89 or 90 to eliminate the mid range backing off of W.O.T. seisures that were somewhat common on the 88's ( back then Dynotech did a article on the gas Frothing in the float bowls). My dealer put in a setup from Reichards that eliminated the Power jets and changed the needles to a different taper and I ran it over 5000mi and not a single problem ? B.T.W. the 87 Exciter had fewer vents in the hood and L.C. decals along with the Exciter emblems on the side panels
