We Bought TWO Yamaha 2 Stroke 3 Wheelers | Will they Run & Ride??
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ต.ค. 2020
- We found these early 80s Yamaha Tri Moto 175 three wheelers on Facebook marketplace for $450 while in West Virginia, so we had to pick them up! While the Honda ATC is the most remembered three wheeler from the 1980s, the Yamaha Tri Moto 175 came with a two stroke 175cc 5 speed engine, and was designed for recreation and sport compared to the Honda ATC's utilitarian focus. In today's episode, we buy two of these vintage three wheelers and make one of them run at Ike's place in West Virginia!
Thanks for Watching!

I hope Charles is here to stay, he’s a good addition to you guys
Yess
I fully agree he's a great 3rd guy to have. Esp sense you guys are doing the top gear type leaderboard if you add the third guy you've got the top gear mojo

i was just thinking this i definitely agree
And his idea for the blaster motor. Like come on. Gotta do it
Charles def needs to stay, he shoulda been the first on that 3 wheeler he seemed very into it!
There’s nothing better than the smell of a 2 stroke on a cool fall day
Not only on a cool fall day. Nothing like the smell of a 2 stroke every day.
Given the part of the UK I live in, cool days in the Autumn are usually accompanied by the smell of coal smoke, which is always the mark that it's getting colder...
th-cam.com/video/NGZ_YZRUt70/w-d-xo.html
Nothing like the sounds
you aint never lied bro! the best!
Charles is a character man y’all need to have him on all the time
Get that dude an impact screwdriver and some JIS bits.
Me right before them putting hand over carb: "he should take off filter and put... Yes. Nice. Experience right there." 😎👍
I thought the same thing
Isaac was here for two seconds and spotted my Tri Moto 😂. Let's ride!
I miss my old 2 strokes. Digging it when Charles is in the vids and cool to see Ike is expanding across America lol!
2 Stroke for life! ditch any auto lube (yahalube) stuff, and run 40:1 synthetic in the tank, we used to run that in a _very_ modded DT 100
@@n3glv I personally love the auto lube but sometimes block them off and run a nice 32:1 Lucas oil mix as far as 2 strokes. And I’m actually a 4 stroke guy just love some oldies lol
@@jacobduryea8030 Loose an engine do to loss of a silly pump? Not me!
@@n3glv very true and common occurrence, I personally pick apart the entire engine in whatever I’m riding but unfortunately some can’t do that so a test run of the pump is always good practice for anyone to do to a older bike! People Definitely different preferences on oiler or pre mix and some do both in different setups that’s why I love having a bunch and spending time on forums. The dt 100 is a very capable machine and I hope it stays running great those are gems!
2:30 Haha, Charles with ‘The Warriors’ reference.
Aw Charles man! Gets me right in the feels. He's very kind and like an excitable child! Just want to give him a hug!
My friend had one identical to that back in the early 90s. Great for running over your own feet if you're used to dirtbikes.
Sooo true
This ^^ also great for tearing your sock/ankle up if you have no pull start so are using a string wrapped around 3 bolts sticking out of the rotor/flywheel...
Charles def needs to be in more vids and he was so excited when y’all got that running
Thank you for the croc hunter flashback 😂 miss that guy
I like how every few months it's like Hey everyone at another one of Ikes 53 properties and found a new project
@Jeff Kopis honestly
KRAZY STUFF I TELLS YA.
Damn! Ike is one lucky ass dude! First an island now a cabin! Makes me want to be his friend also! Nothing like being a kid the rest of your lifes playing on mini bikes,go karts,three wheelers and home made toys! Keep up the builds and entertaining us!
I like charles because he is smart enough to stand back and not say anything and realize that he is a guest. Sometimes new people come on a channel and they try to overdo their character, and people end up not liking them.
There are so awesome great scores guys can’t wait to see y’all line these up and race them
Charles should have been first or second on the 3 wheeler. He did most the work to fix it!
Fr tho
Messed up lol
Ike offered but he’d never ridden one before so..
@@IamBATMAN2024 you're right but Charles (much like Ike and John) is one of those guys that can ride anything. If Ike wanted to check it out first that's fine but Charles should have been second. That's all I'm sayin
@@ChangingAperture especially cuz John can't even ride a three-wheeler he sucks
Y’all find some of the coolest barn finds ever
Do y’all live in Tampa Florida?
@@lethargicstove2024 heck ya bud sure do
love yalls videos
@@Tampaboys cool I live in New Port Richey
@@lethargicstove2024 that’s awesome bud that’s right by me I’m in land o lakes
Dude those old Yamaha 175s were STUPID torquey and fast!! Had a dirt bike from that era with that engine and a 5-speed. It was REALLY fun.
Omg! I had one of those when I was a kid. What a blast! Keep up the great content!
Someone say 3 wheelers 👀
Hello
3 wheelers
👀👀
First replies
Rite up your alley buddy
Y’all are very awesome and and them three wheelers are very awesome!
Nice video
I look forward to every video. You and Issac bring me joy. Makes my day good and, or better than it was!👍
Awesome video! What a flashback to the early 80's! I used to ride that exact 3 wheeler as a kid. What a wild ride those were.
When he started to talk like "Steve Irwin I fell on the floor 😂🤪 spot on with that impersonation.
That Steve Irwin impersonation made me LOL. 🤣
Love your guys videos. Now I’m super excited. Some more two stroke content more regularly would be awesomely especially the tuning side of some of these old things. They are witchcraft. Excited to see you and Ike take these on
Awesome guys , thanks for all the fun you all bring
Central California watching
When you run 2 strokes slow, the oil builds up in the bottom of the case, which will cause it to smoke a lot and will actually foul the plugs.. When you high rev a 2 stroke, it will suck all that excess oil out of the bottom and blow it out the exhaust and then it burns much cleaner. Ideally you don't want it to smoke at all, So if you are riding it on slow trails and it starts smoking a lot, you should high rev it a few times and blow out that extra oil. This thing NOT smoking after you guys were high reving it on the road is comletely normal and is exactly what you want... which will prolong plug life. It seems to be running pretty good. ITs a little boggy on the bottom end, could maybe use a little jet work-- but who cares, its great fun...... again, ideally when it smokes on start up and slow riding, thats good --- its getting plenty of oil...... but again, you want to high rev and blow all that out and at highre speeds it should be running clean, no smoke. Nice find. ANother great find in this range is a Yamaha Blaster (quad).. they are everywhere and the engine looks almost exaclty the same.
Thanks for this. I have a little yamaha rt100 that I'll ride around every once in a while. Last time I tried to start it, it wouldn't start (normally it starts first kick,) the spark plug was covered in oil. When I cleaned it and got it running, it sprayed a ton of oil out the exhaust and even after a minute or 2, it was still covering my hand in oil if I revved it with my hand behind it. I took it for a ride and it cleared up.
This seems like a reasonable explanation for all that lol.
@@kshepthedrummer Yeah, if it runs that way a little too often, you should probably mix in a little less oil. I know that on my buddies Yamaha Tri-z 250's, it called for him to mix the oil 20 to 1. But I always mixed my oil at 32 to 1 and never had any issues. And I know a few guys that swear by 50 to 1. and I've had chainsaws and a boat engine that called for 50 to 1. So there is a little wiggle room on the oil to fuel ratio, especially depending on your riding style. Another thing that I found interesting is: If you add too much oil to the fuel, it will actually cause your 'AIR TO FUEL" mixture to run LEAN-- which is a little counter intuitive. But the more oil you add to your mix, then the LESS FUEL is getting in, and this will cause your engine to run extra hot and burn up pistons. Of coarse, you can re-jet your carbs to account for this. But in general, if you have a bike that keeps burning up pistons, you can drop your oil to fuel mixture (by adding less oil) and it will make it run more Rich, which will cause it to run cooler. If you've ever used a torch, just think of what happens when you squeeze that oxygen trigger. It makes the flame burn much hotter and cut through steal easily. The same thing is happening in the combustion chamber when you run an engine too lean, and it will literally torch a whole through your piston. So again, especially if you are smoking at lot, mix in less oil (within reason) and use a good oil. I've had great results with this. It will tend to burn cleaner, plugs last longer, it runs cooler and pistons last longer....... but otherwise, when it smokes, just make sure to blipp the throttle wide open a few times and blow that stuff out.. Or just jump on it an run a couple full speed sprints and let it blow all that stuff out of there. I first learned this because I was going through plugs like crazy and I wanted to figure out why-- and after hours of reading forums for days and days... I stumbled onto enough discoveries to come to this conclusion. I love 2 strokes, nothing quite has the same switch flipping punch as feeling it come into the powerband, short of running a turbo. lol... And that's another thing, the reason it has an "expansion chamber" on the exhaust is because as the piston is coming up and compressing the air/fuel it will acutally push a lot of that mixture right out the exhaust port, but when it fires it sends a shockwave pulse of pressure down the exhaust pipe, and that expansion chamber will echo and ripple that pulse back toward the cylinder and it will push all that air/fuel mixture back into the cylinder just before the exhaust port closes. So it has a "turbo" effect, but that echo, pulse can only move at a certain speed.. So that means it will only give you that extra power at certain RPM's-- and that's why its called a "power band"-- because the peak power only happens during a certain "band' of RPM"s... like say 5k to 9k rpm's... otherwise the engine will run with a lot less power without it... SO that's why 2 strokes feel kinda weak at first and then it all the sudden KICKS IN. ANd depending on the length and size of your expansion chamber section of the exhaust, you can actually change WHEN that power band kicks in... That's why it is important to know what type of exhaust is on your bike--- Because there are fatter pipes that will be much better for trails and give you a lot of low end torque, but will be less power at wide open throttle..... Or you could get a racing pipe, which will typically be a lot skinnier and it will cause your bike to be very weak from idle up to 3/4 thorttle, but then it will have a lot of power with it running wide open... Which is only really good for drag racing, and hard to ride on trails with that set up.... because it will be pretty boggy in the slow trails, until you give it full throttle and then its too much power and tries to run you up the side of a tree.. lol......... There is a lot of math that goes into tuning your exhaust just right where you want it--- just know that not all exhausts are equal on a 2 stroke engine--- and its actually one of the most important parts of a modern 2 stroke engine making power.
175 tri mottos are 4 stroke I had a 125 tri motto and my cousin had a 175 he didn't mix the gas with the oil on the video and wasn't shifting a clutch
that's what I remember about my 3-wheeler a lot of pull starting!!!
Charles is an awesome sidekick. Humble and a good sense of humor. Nice episode!
So excited to have y'all here in WV and looking forward to more Yamaha 3 wheeler content. I have a 225DX myself and they're so badass.
I NEED to get me one these trikes 😍
"Come out to play-yay" Charles you're too young to know that movie! 👍😎👍
Worries come out and play-yay.....love that movie
@@mikemaclean1332 It's a classic!
This is sick thanks for always uploaded guys!
We had that same model growing up. Before I knew the difference between 2 stroke and 4 stroke I was confused, because I had a 185 Honda and my brother always whooped me on racing.
Love your work guys. Good stuff. Keep it up.
You should bring Charles on more often. He seems to be a good asset to the channel. Watching from Hawaii btw. 🌴🌺
when a 2-stroke warms up, if it is mixed right it will not smoke.
*** *It WILL smoke*
@@calvinwright1816 no it will not!
@@vinylexperience77 will not! Do you have any experience with a 2 stroke? And no, a weed eater doesn't count.
@@calvinwright1816 I raced motor cross for 8 years with a Husqvarna CR 500 and a Kawasaki XR 250 in pro class. It that enough experience for you. Both of them smoked like a bastard until they warmed up.
@@vinylexperience77 😂 you just made my point........ 2 strokes will smoke if there running.
Unless you don't have them jetted right, 🤔🤨
In the process of building a YT175 out of boxes of parts myself, getting to hear one run is great motivation, thank you.
Have to agree, Charles is a Great addition to the crew. Welcome Charles...
Wow. I haven't seen that tread pattern in 30 years. Keep digging, there's more up there, if the junkies didn't steal them all for scrap. On a side note, if you think that has some power, I can't wait till you guys find a 250R. 3 or 4 wheeled.
hell, any good 2nd gen 200x, 350x, tri z or Tecate 3 would be fun to see these guys with.
250r scared me half to death in the 90s dang forgot about that one
Love my ‘83 250r! I have a era hand made pipe on it and it rips. Wheelies and drifts for days.
I've been wanting to go to busko beach and bring some of my 350xs and 250rs to let them have a real experience on some awesome trikes. Funny you said the 250r scared you. I was always careful to only let experience riders on any of mine but I've had many guys get off them scared.
Use a manual impact driver when undoing these kinds of screws they help alot
Yeah that's nearly the only way to get those off. Haven't worked on bikes for a while, but in the 70's-80's I took apart many many. Case cover phillips style screws will just strip most of the time without an impact driver. I think HF has them.
I love those. Reed valve cage screws stripped by previous owner. This was on a 1980 suzuki pe175. Reed valves are under the cylinder its weird
@@chickensfloat7427 mine was a 1987 bw350t that I also had to do a clutch on
@@mhmadgenious ill probably use one on a clutch too soon. On the same bike, clutch is goofy. With the bike running somtimes it doesnt release and when off the clutch never releases. Ive left it alone though caus if you know how to ride it it works good enough. I have all the parts though gaskets clutch and basket ect so when it fails i can fix it immediately
I've had 3 RD-400 bikes in my day. And,
an RD-350 as well as a wrecked RZ-350,
that donated an engine and front wheel
with the fork, to my RD-400F.
Needless to say, you NEED a hand impact
driver! I KNOW!

I grew up riding those same 3 wheelers. 125cc. They were a blast. Some of my best childhood memories at my grandparents cabin in Michigan.
Your almost to 1 million subscribers keep up the good work I love the videos!
2:33 Warriors 1979
1:50 Its japanese so every screw that looks like phillips is a JIS
I have a set of JIS screwdrivers and they seem to fit so much better into Phillips screws.
I was thinking the same thing, lol. "No you dummy, those are JIS, don't fuck it up!"
But what is the point for yamaha to use those type of heads on the engine casing???. I noticed that many years ago when I first worked on a Yamaha I've always wondered since
@@speedyme200 Phillips screws are by design supposed to cam out under high load. JIS doesn't cam out.
Well now I have to order metric Phillips screwdrivers.
guys the new guy is cool as hell i have been with you since u started ya guys have a came along way . from the yard . can;t wait to see the truck finshed jon gonna be awsome...
I enjoy every video you guys make. Keep it up 😉
FINALLY A 2 STROKE!!!
2 smokers are way forward. Less moving parts to go wrong. Can change a piston in 30 minutes.
BRAAAAAAAP
And the smell and sound is fabulous. .
Dun dun dun dun braaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Braaaaaaaaaap :).

@@alvisafford5169 I could do a piston change, in
about 2 hours. That includes riding the bike
to the Yamaha dealer to get the piston, coming
back, letting the bike cool down, and changing
both pistons on an RD.

Blaster engine for sure! I’d like to see a build done on a blaster engine as well! I have one I need to build myself lol
Soon as he said that I was like THATS DEF HAPPENING lol
Sweet machine! I've never had a chance to run one of these. Thanks for taking us for a ride!
Cool man, can't wait to see this Nova!
The one and only question I had to this entire video why was he wearing leather chaps
Maybe rode up on a bike
You can see their little Honda Trails in the background. They rode those up to WV.
@@davidmathay7117 The very 1st thing I saw was the pants I didn't see the bikes until later and you do realise this comment has been written after I've seen the video correct I saw the bikes
Tri moto 175!!!!!! I just picked up a tri moto 125 that had been sitting for 20+ years, new rings, new carb, cut the brake cable and she was ready to rip!! Do glad to see some old tri motos getting some love! Awesome video!
My brother and I grew up riding a pair of Yamaha tri-moto’s. We’ve still got them sitting around at my brothers place. This makes me want to get them going again for our kids.
Love it guys. Gotta love 3 wheelers.
Love Ike's new rustic shop.. free air conditioning , great views, sunroof and critter friendly...
I used to have the same 3 wheeler growing up. It was actually pretty quick. I loved it.
That was the great thing about Yammers from that era. Easy to fix, and great learning tools.
Great video waiting for the next videos!
I learned on an ATC, an 86' 250ES but I was I think 11-12 at the time, the ATC was about to be outlawed by the time I was born(85). Still love them even today but I have a healthy respect for them. Never crashed but I've seen my brother do a barrel roll in midair while still holding on the bars on one. No lies here!
i just found your channel by chance. I'm digging what you guys are doing.
Like because good content, plus 2 smokes FTW, plus Charles should be a regular on the team, plus that Nova was a good buy I saw the first start vid. That is all, keep up the good work guys.
I had one of those back in day loved it 2 stroke Yamaha 125 was a blast
Very Cool Issac great find you guys. Hopefully you guys can get the second one running and have a side by side race. Old school Yamaha!!
I’m from West Virginia!! Been watching y’all for years
these look like so freaking much fun. we soo need to see this nova.
I very much enjoy watching you all, p.s., I absolutely love that little tykes crazy coop :-)
Nice bikes. Will be great to see two going
Way to go Charles! You are a great mechanic brother!!
I need to put u on my generator Charles will drop it by to u this week. So we can figure out which carb will work!
I'm glad you guys got these! I live in WV and seen these on marketplace a few days ago...I wanted to get them but a fellers short on cash at the moment. I'm also obsessed with 3 wheelers! Lol.
Cars and Cameras is starting to turn into Mighty Car Mods "I bought this car sight unseen on the internet!"
I’m glad Charles is being featured in more videos, He’s a great addition.
Love it. I just sold my go kart a got an old Banshee. Took a little doing to get it running but it was worth it. I love love the smell of two stroke in the morning.
Love the black and white follow up videos at the end... cool, funny.
sweeeet , a torque monster she is ....good stuff
RJ
Had the same bike in early 90s. Ended up jumping a lot and cracking weld at head tube. Great machine, enjoy!
Love the " Warriors " line ole boy said. Haha. Try to get him with yall more guys. Yall make a great team!
Nice machine. I had a 200 Yamaha 4 stroke. That’s about 30 years ago. Thanks for sharing
I love you guys remind me of my friends back in NC. Love the two stroke content. Yeah if it ain’t smoking it’s lean. It should blow out a healthy dose of white smoke during heavy acceleration.
Love 3 wheelers, owned plenty of them, great vid
Nice property! Love the old 3 wheelers!
ah finally something ive been waiting for, for the longest time
Lol that's funny! I had a Yamaha 175 2 stroke back in the 80s. Not as well made as a Honda ATC but it was pretty fun as a kid! Awesome to see!
Nice to see someone picking up the tools and learning from Ike. John sure is getting good with that camera.
This is insane I literally bought one of these today 4 pm on March 11th and then I hop on TH-cam March 12th at 3 am and here you guys are on my recommended videos with the exact same one
Get rid of the pod filter asap !! Awesome video guys!
Love riding on the Hatfield McCoy trails in West Virginia. Good time in the Mountains . Have fun come back home safe .
That's awesome, I had a 1985 Yamaha 225 Shaft 3 wheeler in the early 90s that was fun as all get out. Mine had electric start, the only thing it didn't have was reverse.
Crazy Yamaha trimoto 175 I had a lot of fun on one of those back in the eighties
Omg that was truly sight unseen. Those tri moto are cool. Few for sale around here oh and u guys were right look andvu shall find. I found a full roll cage suspension go-cart for 200 in NY. RUNNING
“Come out to playay”
Lost my shit 😂😂😂
Sweet!!! Bought a new YT175 in 1982, fun times... Sold it for an 84 IT 200, more fun times.... haha
This is awesome that you got that to run
Charles really should be in more of your episodes, hes an awesome guy
These things were extremely tough and reliable for an older 2-stroke. It may be am unpopular opinion but these Yamaha three were extremely reliable and just all around good.
no wonder the clutch was toast lmao, great vid as always!
Hey guys nice 3 wheelers yamaha's are good to I had to Honda 3 wheelers 185 and a 200 Big Red keep up the good work Charles you're good addition to cars and cameras with Isaac and John be safe and good luck with everything you guys do
Can you guys do a restoration on a Suzuki mt50 trail hopper ? Also YOU GUYS ARE AT 900,000 sub ALMOUS TO A MILLION KEEP UP THE WORK YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING
Wow Isaac conquerer of islands and mountains, what a land baron. Love to meet you guys next time your in wv.
