Great bike! Saw your comment on Ed's latest video. Your editing is really nice mate. Solid growth for such a new channel. Watching happily and will keep doing so.
I could only say Willy so many times with a straight face! I appreciate the encouragement. Im unsure how much of the success is me, and how much is the CB400F haha! I pulled up your channel and saw hustler minibikes so already excited!
Powersports were limited growing up as we had a tendency to flip the go-kart over ... a lot haha. Kinda fun to ride around home. Appreciate your watching
Really appreciate it, I have a bunch of footage for full DT50 rebuild and other 400F, been busy riding thru the hurricane, but I promise more great stuff to come!
I had an ‘89 , black and yellow. Fun little bike , I did the mortard look. Shouldn’t have sold it. Don’t spend too much on it , with all that rust grit in the fuel, the motor will soon need a complete rebuild.
I'm certain that's not doing it any favors, and I'm sure I'm going to find loads more fun stuff as I go about changing fluids 😬, but that will be an excuse to do a tear down, maybe hop it up a little 🤔
I have a 1996 DT 125 down in Nicaragua that I use everytime I go down there its got plates and I use it to drive around the whole country my cousin and his friends does the maintenance, its always needing something everytime i go back down theres, last time it was the ignition coil being too weak and clutch cable broke, its supposedly all fixed now, I rode that DT 50 way back in the 90s when I took the Motorcycle MSF Class up here in Wisconsin. I dont think its necessary to make that liquid cooled all that did is add costs and maintenance and another point of failure. I would change the Antifreeze ASAP cause if you don't the water pump seal might get damamged and then you will have to replace the water pump unecesarily, replace the radiator cap too. The automotive fuel filter idea is fine but thats way too much garbage in the filter with just a single trip around the farm, you really need to take off the fuel tank, dump the gas, then fill it up with hot soap and water and shake it up, dump, rinse and repeat till the tank has no more free floating bits, some people say to add marbles or BB pellets to free up any loose material, you can also snake a long wired brush into the tank, and replace the filter again, everytime you ride rotate the fuel filter a little bit so the fuel uses a different cleaner section of the paper element. The oil pump is running dry, I dont know what happens if the oil pump locks up? If it locks up will it damage the gear thats connected to the rest of the engine? For two stroke oil premix with YamaLube, the ratio is 50 to 1. Turn Signals are on ebay, they dont necesarily have to be original, you can really use anything. I would leave the tires, pull the tubes out and patch them up then reuse. I assume you have some nice long and sturdy spoon Motorcycle Tire Arms Levers, you need three. For the streets here in the USA theres still a good amount of 1970s DTs between 125 and 250 and 400, get yourself one of the bigger models which are in excellent condition, they pop up on ebay and craigslist from time to time, have cash ready on hand and plan to fly out to drive it back home, if you need a Transporter to ride it back im available. Keep It Old School. I have up a video on my Two Stroke Suzuki TS 250, its a cousin of the DT, not too many TS floating around. Kawasaki has some Two Strokes too floating around. But to keep things easy I would say stick to the DeeTeez.
Since I made this first video, I ended up completely rebuilding the engine, it had no coolant in it, crank seals were gone, bolts broke off, its been a nightmare haha. While somehow not rusty at all, everything on this bike ended up being a total nightmare, I just have to put the videos together, oil pump seemed to be fine. That gas tank was a nightmare, I have a short up showing some of how that went down, but sounds like youve battled a few crusty old two strokes in your day! Ill check out your channel
5000 miles isn't too high by the way i have 9000 km on original rebuild and i have hear people getting 15000km before a top end 😀i got mine for 800 CAD with ceased forks and rusty gas tank and every single cable was also ceased too but they are selling for around 4000 for a fully certified one.
🙂 sure DTs can be ripoff expensive in North America, i have one in Central America and they are much more reasonably priced because they are much more plentiful, you can actually buy a Brand New DT in most part of the world still, so the Factory wherever its located is still pumping them out, its strange they never updated it either ☺
@@GoldenBoyGarage 😒👍 cool, advise them to look at DT 125 or larger, they have all the way up to 400cc, you gotta have cash in hand and be ready to buy at a dimes notice cause when they go up for sale they dont stay for sale for too long

My boss thinks I’m working, but in all reality I’m watching golden boy videos 😍😍
CAUSE WE'RE CRANKIN' OUR HAWWWWGS
These things are little rocket ships for what they are.....LOVE the I.T. inspired colour scheme
Unbelievably fast and well configured for a little 50, I love that they omitted the 50 bit in the livery
Yep....and still big enough for a full sized adult@@GoldenBoyGarage
@@GoldenBoyGaragein some markets these had a disc brake up front
What a fantastic find . Thats a cool little farm bike for sure . Nice to see its in good hands now .

I have a red and white 1988 dt50. My dad bought it for me when i was 14.
You still have it?! thats awesome!
@@GoldenBoyGarage yeah, i almost sold it a few times. Glad i didnt. Im 45 now so at this point why get rid of it.
🙂 Nice, you have any videos on it? I have a Suzuki TS 250 and a Yamaha DT 125.

Looks like a ton of fun.
its a blast, i cant help myself with small 2 strokes
great stuff!
I recognize the name from FB haha, thank you for watching! Love this little bike

800 isnt too bad I suppose. I thought I got a bad deal but people have indicated that in good shape they go for way more than your average 50cc!
I just got one, which got rebuilt and used as a farm bike in hungary for 250eu
@@botix7646 that is a really good deal, at least here in america!

I was gonna come and say how I'm limited by tire size but those might actually fit!
"Perfect for corrupting new riders" ^_^
I have two friends looking to buy bikes after riding it around the field, doing its job so far!
