Goverment: Let's ban 3-wheeler production, those are too way dangerous! Guys on TH-cam: We will fix all the old ones & build some new ones too! 3-wheelers one love!
Heck yeah they even have a kit to convert the Honda 450 dirt bikes into a three wheeler they're pretty badass too!
@@kevinAuman1 I've seen this vid! ;)
@@kevinAuman1 I built an xr200 into a three wheeler😭
All the world needs is builders to create. The ban won’t work if they cant catch them
@@kevinAuman1 for real cboys has a crf450 3 wheeler that thing is crazy
but nowdays they are still dangerous but less cause you make the rear WIDE AF and its already better. love how the cboys broke that engines multiple times cause the air filter is a cone filter near the rear and they went full send tru water, and that is why you want and need a air box...
but also there is this channel on youtube that build trikes but also transform bikes into quads they make a crf 450 quad that is just crazy
That's a great find for sure. Speaking of rare wheelers I picked up a 84 Manco 310 Quest. Still has the original tire's on it and is in great shape. I'm the 3rd owner
That's awesome!
This video was my TH-cam highlight today. 😄
The play.in the shifter was like that when they were new
This one deserves some new tires and a seat cover joe
You wanna sell me one of those quads you fixed up? ill come pick it up.. not kidding.
That deserves a full restoration
Not reading the spoilers in the comments...😑
adjust the clutch that will fix it slipping it’s behind the cover where u check the oil
Every video wheather it runs or not never dissapoints with knowledge alone 🔥
Of course you’d have one of these on now, one week after I sold my ‘82 175… bought for $100, seized engine, new piston, rings, pull cord spring… sold for $1000
I had this exact 3-wheeler, it was such a blast!! Thanks for bringing this one back to life.
Same model or you literally owned this exact machine before 2vintage?
@@heathwak3030 same model. Sorry for the confusion.
I had one of these as well, I thought it was the fastest thing on the planet as a kid lol
Thanx for the warning for headphone users when you turned the vaccum on shit my dude lol ,"huh, what you say?"" Ha ha
haha sorry I didn't realize it was that bad. I don't edit with headphones on. My bad!
The smell of blue smoke , the sound , aaawwww a 2stroke memory of my youth in the 80’s. Thank you
Love to see the old stuff come alive!
I just started fixing my tri moto 175 that was my dads when he was my age and it has been sitting for 27 years
it's amazing the places that mice can get. that gooey thing at the carburetor 🤢🤮
Yeah so nasty!
Definitely old dead mouse 🤣🤣🤢
I bought one of these Tri Moto 175's new in the early 80's. Blew a piston riding through wet snow and slush across a lake. Warranty covered the repair:). My first new 3 wheeler was the Tri Moto 125. Good times!
The 2stroke tri-moto was way more baddass than honda atc ... ugly as hell tho 😔
I bought a 2005 crf150f and there was a huge nest in the air box and 2 dead mice. Ram like a champ tho. Still smell of decaying mice, they literally melted, it was fun cleaning it out
That was the only three wheeler that I’ve owned. I had so much fun with it and almost makes me want to buy one if I had a place to ride it. Great video
Love the vids man! Actually the trimoto 125 was made from 1979 till 1985. I have a really nice condition trimoto 125 1985 with all original tires and stickers, love that little thing.
The YT125 was made 82 and 83. The 175 was only 83
@@phodailey nope ,talking nonsense bud
@@originalbbz7978 I thought wrong lol. The 125 was made 80 - 85. I'm not entirely sure but I'm pretty confident the 175 is only 83
@@phodailey not sure about the 175 never had one. But I know the 125 inside out lol ,it was made from 79 till 85.
Wowww what a score for that cheap!!! Even if it needs a rebuild hell that can be done for almost nothing on these old 2 smokers lol
burn tha carb lol
I should have lol
i do want to go out and buy a cheep bike and fix it you make it look so easy it gives me corage to do it i at least watch two ove your show every day
The mouse brain tho ha ha ha 😂
Yeah so gross lol
Shifter shaft shakes. Shim the shank from shimmy!
They was actually only banned for 10 years. Witch is no longer active. They arnt banned anymore. Surprised they arnt being made anymore
I just picked up an 83 yt175 a few days ago, albeit in a lot worse shape. Will definitely try what you did with the shifter as mine has even more play than yours did
Yamaha dt175 has the oil pump as this bike and same spot just a fun fact
That's cool!
Yeah I have a 1976 dt175 and I'm picking up a yt125 tmr
Joe greetings from Glasgow Scotland been watching for some time what's it background
i have an 83 honda 200. its way more reliable than the mid 90s polaris sportsman i have.
I just picked one up this march for 300 bucks and it's about the same condition of yours. I have the headlight guard on mine.
This is probably my favorite video
I love those old three wheelers. You should try and find a old 125 Suzuki three wheeler
Have you tried using a turkey baster for feeding fuel into the carb fuel line?
They are also good for sucking out water / oil ect out of bottom end of 2 stroke engines.
Handy to have around.
Zoom oiler for gas only way to go. Use mine all the time.
Those little 175s were quick. Good find..
Oh wow I had the 125 growing up
One thing I found in life if I ever came across any oil injected machines I would remove the oil injection and mix the gas myself ! After blowing 3-4 engines mostly Yamaha after rebuilding remove the oil injection and the motors would last for years ! It seems most oil injection systems could not keep up at high rpm !
aways premix and block off oil ports so dont have a air lean mixture my first 175 had a broken oil injection line
Just got a 08crf250r. Gas has been in it since last fall. Starts fine, idles fine and no bog. Once you get into the mid rpm’s the bike spitters and looses power and gains the power then looses it again. In the high rpm’s it’s fine. Anyone know what’s going on here??
clean carb replace gas
As many bikes and atv’s as you work on, I think it’s time to invest in a lift. Your back and knees will thank you later.
Yeah, riding a 3 wheeler with a flat back tire definitely takes some skill. With enough seat time Joe, you’ll learn how to nurse an atc home with a flat rear tire…..it takes balance while standing up on the pegs!
Thumbs up 👍 for the hacksaw shifter repair. I have done the same thing a few times in the past ha ha
Worked pretty well!
Those had the weight really far back in the chassis.
I have had good luck with a few ounces of ATF in the old tires or good old fix-a-flat to slow/stop leaks and get more life from those old low-pressure tires.
Especially since it's so important for the tire OD size (pressure) to match for the back on a live axle rig.
Great job!!!!
any three wheeler non honda is a rarity! keep up the great work, i love the vids. you have inspired me to start workin on atvs. jus bought an 01 rancher for 200 and now it runs again!
That was put away with the old non ethenol fuel or it wouldn't look like it does. Once again great job.
You need a upgrade to a 6x12 enclosed trailer! Fits 2 Quads...
Favourite youtuber
Mouse juice cant be good for the carb lol
nope not good at all lol
Of all the ATCs I’ve ridden those were by far the most unstable lol, quick little bikes though we had two we used to take down to Mexico and ride on the beach, anything other than flat ground they were a bit of a handful, Honda definitely had the handling figured out way before Yamaha, those little 175s definitely hauled A$$ tho for such a small ATC lol
Rearward mounted engine + 3 wheeler= wheelie machine
Out of the tri motos that 175 is the rarest one produced. The 200cc the 1985 ytm 200cc was the rarest. Only year they made 5 speed, with reverse, electric start, shaft drive, and telescopic front forks
86 200ers is rarest
LIKE I ALWAYS TOLD MY KIDS, DON'T LEAVE YOUR TOYS OUTSIDE !!!
those are pretty rare are they not?
Yeah only made for 2 years
is this something your gonna keep or re sell
Back in 1991 through 1994.
If it's a Yamaha it's good! 👍
That things is in good shape, I’ve never seen a 175 in that good of shape
Now you understand why these things where banned... My father nearly killed my sister and I back in the 80's
hey first
love ur vids
Nope not the original tires my man. The rears were matching with your front tire, a dimpled knobby tread was OEM. Own 2 of these things and was around when they were brand new have one as a kid. The one I'm building right now is a Franken Trike for better handling and more comfort. The neck was removed and raked to 24 degrees which matches the Honda 250r frame layout and using triple trees and the entire front end off a trashed Honda 250r. Engine has been fully modified and built for performance. Custom crank, welded cylinder deck and installation of a Yam DT-175 jug with the best of the cylinder heads from 85 with the center located spark plug and shaved for higher compression as we as ported mildly. Using the larger reed cage of the DT and a custom intake and boot running a 28mm Mikuni round slide. Clutch was modified for a higher stall speed engagement as well as the DT cylinder was modified, they had great transfer ports but a poor exhaust port design. Welding up the top of the exhaust port on the outside and the removal of the restrictive blockage of the original casting was removed for a free flowing downstream system. They run pretty well though even in stock trim when they aren't beaten into the ground and left for dead! Lol.
I have a 1977 commuter industries granger 8 hp comet torque drive I wouldn't let it for less than 1,500 super reliable and fun
Safe to say that carb is definitely going in the carb dip for awhile! That was some nasty crap in there. The oil in the carb likely leaked past the pump and check valve if it sat for a long time. My H2 Kaw triple used to do that if it sat for awhile.
Thanks for a cool video, Joe!
You had an H2? NICE! What a sound that machine makes.
As others have said Yam Dt175 motors almost bulletproof and will shrug off plenty of abuse. In '78 they revised the model with a monoshock rear, cdi ign, lighter plastic components and a six speed transmission to make a very popular and successful trail bike, more nimble and responsive than the rather heavier and slower revving 250. Wondering if your trike has a 5 speed, as it probably weighs more?
its a 5 speed they all are except first gen yt125
Yo would you be interested in a 99 skidoo formula 500? I'm in SE Wisconsin. Had it running couple years ago but this year it wasn't running right had to keep pumping primer to keep running. Pm if you interested?
I had a 225 with a twist throttle! Loved it !!!😃👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Maxiflex gloves buddy the audio will thank you your hands will thank you your subs will thank you been working on car and in construction long time best gloves ever please just try them one time
Maaan I'm jealous. I just paid $500 for one of these in horrendous shape. Massive hole in the pipe. Has compression and spark but doesn't fire. Not even a pop.
Would have liked to seen a part 2 of the next oil change to see if there was any more metal flakes from the grinding you predicted
The shavings were probably clutch.
Hello, I really do want to get in touch with you. I am a retired military officer, and I want to get a 4 wheeler from you. I like how you repair them. I am a disabled veteran I just spent 32 years in the military. I got wounded and need the four wheeler to get around my farm. Please give me some information how to reach you . I am asking for anything free I will pay you for the 4 wheeler
Omfg....that was my 1st 3 wheeler then I graduated to ATC ..250 R...now the was a rush
Damn this pisses me off cuz my dad's buddy has this same Yamaha three-wheeler and it's just sitting in the woods it's all together but it's been sitting for 9 years I wish I knew how to rebuild it
I've got an 82 250r. Pressure test. Crankseals prob shot. Gotta do mine
I had one, I traded a John Deere snowblower for it, same thing it just sat outside in the weather. I should have kept it, cause the guy I sold it to blew it up and sent it to the scrap yard, honestly it was in better shape then this one, the P.O probably didn't have it too long before I got it.
throw those back tires away there not stock and to heavy.get some cheep 22x11x8 knobby tires
They made them from 80 to 85 that one is an 82 or 83 because of the decals an fins the 125 started in 1980 with the low gear below neutral an then the rest is high range gears used more for utility vehicles then they made the more recreational 125s when they came up with the the 175 in 82
Pretty evident these old machines didn't have ethanol in the fuel when they were parked the last time. Wonder how machines of today will look in 30 years after sitting.
I find it's easier to use a wrench on the plug socket in tight spots rather than fighting the watchet in there.
I have a blue yamaha trimoto 200cc trike and it's my favorite lol the capability of a dirt bike and quad all in one.
Once I saw that spark, I knew you were in business. Great job.
"sweet" got the old it175 engine on it. Remember when kids were running around in their backyards and and the trail
My friend. I have watched this and the other one you did and i cant seem to find where the black nipple on the front of that carb runs to??? Can you help me
Great job nice 1 👍.
I had this 3-wheeler as a kid and Honda 125M 3 -wheeler !! So badass that you take the time out to fix these awesome machines 👏🙌🤙
Feel like every young up an coming mechanic should build one jus for the exp 😂
I had one those it was a blast an the best bang for the buck. It was a 1983 yt175k model tri moto
Hey I have exactly the same one but its missing the clutch cable. Do you know where the cable is connected on the engine? I cant seem to find it on the schematics.
Unbelievable always in a hurry to ride but don’t take care of the important things
Gonna be smokey for a while, might put new plug in it so it don't foul out to quick.
I had to take a link out of my chain before on my Honda. Three wheeler worked pretty good.
Have to give mice credit. They pick the coziest places to build their homes.
Hey U can use this trick to know if an engine is gonna run you don’t even need a carb on the bike to do it u can drop fuel down the carb holes on 4 strokes too and down the cylinder of 2 strokes more common on 2s but not a lot of people use it on 4s
These things are getting harder and harder to come by and they were fun as hell to tool around on so I'd either hang onto it or make sure you ask a decent price for her, heck I'd say running and a new sear cover it should fetch close to a grand for ya!
yeah i mean if he got it cheap why not keep it in a corner for now. if its rare sit on it make it like new.
keep it oem, the tires oem... just fix it
@@reggiexp69 those tired are not oem
@@EwFatppl my bad i tought so... they look like some old ones didnt look it up
@@reggiexp69 those are trail pros they suck and are heavy and to big for these they also slow them down to and they barely wear out
@@EwFatppl oww that is why they look old and wierd so i guess they were oem.
My buddy had the tri moto 125 we rode the guts out of that little thing this are not the original rear tires it came with knobbys all around it
My mate had a Honda 3 wheeler! We all nearly killed are self’s at least one time riding it! Good day’s.
You didn't put a new chain on you just edited it to the point it was back together
I put a new chain on. Never filmed it because it was giving me a hard time lol
@@2vintage if u get another one and need to replace chain just loosen axel bolts and push the rear end forward to get the chain off and on easily
Those fat tires seem to leak down a lot. I replace ours with a holeshot shot style wide flat tread, seem to hold up way better.
Apparently that's just factory slop in the shifter every one I've seen does it 😂
Great video. Neat old tribaby.
2 vintage if u wanna sell that definitely will buy this I live in PA not to to far from you
hey I think someone may be trying to hack your channel im gettin weird notifications linked to u
