Where are these trails?

I bought one of these brand new in 1978 in Australia. I can still remember riding it out of the showroom. I had so much fun on it I wish I still had it and never sold it. I remember going for my full license on it back in the day when a policeman followed you on their police road bike. At the time I was running vegetable oil in it. Half way through the test the officer pulled me over and asked what I was running in it. I told him. He said get rid of it if he or his fellow officers saw me and I was running that oil in it again they would charge me. I just loved the smell of it. He was all red in the face from the smell and being so cranky I’m sure they couldn’t actually charge me for running that oil didn’t stop me 😂😂😂 Oh the memories I have so many on that bike. So happy to see one still running 👍👍👍👍

You shouldn't be trusting 10 year old tires AT ALL to ride on. Jeezus

You found it . Some of the dt s have a spark advance on the shaft . It’s little arm with a spring that move the position of the hump bump on the old points and condenser . Causes r the same problem 😎👍🇺🇸

I have the GS750, got it less than a grand and loving it. Little elbow grease to get it running, but well worth it.

Nice

Remove fly wheel casing grab a socket and drill put on the nut run the drill and it will start it, once running check for rich mix, do all checks to troubleshoot. Also through the flywheel casing you can mount an electric start short motor instead of connecting the shaft just weld a socket to it and an old bicycle bmx rear sprocket case (grind tooth off. Sprocket engages only one way so make sure to weld facing the correct side so when engine running the sprocket rolls freely, wire to battery, earth, start relay from Yamaha and a start/kill button

Dude great video! Love the channel. I'm in Fort Collins/Loveland and do quite a bit of car/moto videos as well. Keep up the killer work! My channel: www.youtube.com/@OctaneElectrons

So sick! I have a 78 DT400 myself and love it. Such a cool bike to ride, honestly blows my mind that at one point that was a brand new bike sold for the streets lol. You seem to have similar taste in bikes as me as I’ve been looking into getting a KDX200 lately lol seem like sweet bikes that would be a better true enduro bike so I can use that for harsher stuff I don’t wana ruin my DT400 on lol

The FZR 6 was my first sport bike, what an amazing bike!…is it for sale? I am in CO, lmk. Great video 👍🏻✊🏻💨

I have a 2011 zzr1400 but I still want one of these 😁♥️

I had the problem of it stalling out when just touching the throttle after warming up just set the idle properly then ur sweet

I'd give my left puppy to have a monoshock on my '75 DT250.

They are underpowered but handle like a dream. Just get the correct tires listed for the bike. The front is different than the classic or silverado. I had a tire 10mm wider than spec on the front for a while. Changed it to the correct size and it handled like a Porsche. Had this exact same bike. Also, had to run 30W fork oil in the ftont to keep it from nose diving during braking. You can also do the golf tee mod from the forums and the exaust popping on decelleration will go away... It is a great beginner bike for around town. It does not do well in headwinds on the highway or steep hills. It also scrapes easily when leaning. The good news is that once you master this riding style and position all skills transfer to the 1300. Feels like the same bike only more powerful and with better ergonomics, especially if you are a tall rider.

I bought that same bike new back in the 70's. It was the most fun I ever had on a motorcycle. Thanks for the blast from the past.

I just bought one of these for $400 everything works getting a new battery for it and new handles I’m 16 this is my first bike! I’m super excited to start learning everything about it

Had that exact same bike 40 years ago.What a monster.Would burn rubber on asphalt in every gear.Loved to watch my dad ride it.He was a power junkie like us.Great bike and happy to see them still around.Good times.

Did you fix the brakes and check the baffle for clogging? What about the right crankcase seal? It has a fair amount of smoke which makes me suspect the seal may be leaking. Other than that it looks like a blast! Single trail riding at its best.

Nice ride but remember that this is a 50 year old engine. The seals in the engine are probably all shot. The smoke you see is likely oil being sucked into the engine. First thing to do is remove the engine and replace both seals. I would recommend that all seals in the engine be replaced. After reassembling the engine do a leak down test just to make sure. A leaky intake gasket can be really exciting as the engine will keep revving to the moon. If that happens you can even turn off the ignition and it will keep revving. Hit the choke and hope it stops(it usually does). Second, check the exhaust pipe and pull the baffle and get your propane torch and burn off the crap filling the holes. That is likely the cause of the top enf not being crisp. With the smoke(transmission oil) being burnt the baffle will clog up quickly. Third, fix the brakes and get a new chain before you ride it again. 😜 Great bike. Big bore two strokes are the most fun you can legally have! Yeah, they vibrate and are noisy and pollute the air horribly, but man are they fun.

ای جاننن DT400 عششققههه😘😘😘😜😜

Timing is off

Bought a new cocktail yellow 1995. Still think it was the best looking FZR600 ever made.

Fun times 👍🏼

Would like to roll like a pimp on a '84 IT 490. Nope Kdx 200 way easier to handle

You either got it or you dont.

Central Newfoundland is in the middle of the woods. No prisoners there man.

Bro, I rode my '85 KDX 200 hard for 10 years in Central Newfoundland. Best off-road bike.

Another thing most didn't know about, was the gas tank was fake. The air box was underneath it. The real tank, you had to remove the seat, to get access to.

Nice work ! I had hoped to see where all the vaccum lines went for the tank and air box so I could assemble my 90 zx10. Same leaks but in pieces when i got it. Hoping to find a diagram. Careful on that thing. Lol

I used to have one of those bikes' cool bikes to have

That underwater sound was hilarious, cool bike tho

Buy a Vape ignition system, that'll sort it, set the timing and it'll fire up every time

Get some gloves. You'll thank me later because you will fall off at some point. Clean the carb and check the jetting against stock jetting. You might not be getting enough fuel at high rpm. Check where the slide lock is at too.
