Huge goodtime memories of my childhood, and yesterday too ,as I went out and kicked over my 1974 125 Yammy to bring the sheep in. 👍 Gotta love the old school Yamaha's! You're teaching your young man right.
YEE - HAW.... OFF SHE GOES !! ~ What a great Dad. My boys needed a Pop, like these kids have !! ~. My oldest (49) just passed back to God, in January. from Cancer. ~ Love each other thru every minute... good times or tough.
Good on him and good on you. I get this is 5 years old, but it's cool to see some kids still growing up learning to wrench. The sense of accomplishment doing the work and getting it running is huge
A life long project full of skills and memories. Reminds me when I ran a scout troop of 34 boys long ago. We would rebuild small motors go camping and some of the kids turned out good some dropped out but I have ran into a few in the past who always have those skills to look back on. On how things work and common sense. I myself my helmet stays on the cabin shelf. Every time I ever wore one out back on the logging roads here I almost crashed over bad visibility. I think in society usually wearing a helmet is insurance for if someone else tries to mow you down with their car or they are the one who cause the accident in the first place. In today's society commonsense and the realization at how things really work went out the window years ago. Reminds me of an old retired navy man i knew. What do you call the man who broke his hand in 3 spots doing the same thing. Stay out of those areas.
im restoring a 1974 suzuki rv125 atm. ill send ya some pics on facebook. its been a fun and awesome project. i replaced all parts needed with original suzuki part #'s . been a chore looking for parts. but thats what im good at locating hard to find parts.
its driving me nuts. i have it all painted ready to put together and ride. but waiting on piston to get here today finally. then igotta take it to get bored. while its getting bored at shop ima take motor apart put all new seals and gaskets. finally all these years i sprung and bought the correct case and crank tools lol.
When I was 16 I had a 1995 dt 125 2-stroke, loved it. Good job getting one for your child. L-O-my F'ing-L wtching you pull that thing around with a pick up even after it started instead of just pushing from the start.
Back in the day we had 2 1974 bikes. A Dt125 and a Dt175. The 175 was the bike to have for hill climbing. Because its a DT and not a ligit trials bike you could change the sprocket. It will climb your property with ease. $95 ? great find.
Good going brothers 💪 I have a '72 Yamaha 125 Enduro that my pawinlaw gave me for a wedding gift and I ride it everyday or at least I try my wife got a '82 Honda Trail 110 and we also have a '79 Yamaha 90 tiny wheelie popper🤓 Hopefully y'all are doing well and many blessings for you and your family ✊
Totally dig that bike and the fact that your son gets that memory with dad for the rest of his life! Doing the same at my house with my boy. We have a '77 DT100, an '80 Mx100, a 79 DT250 (my son's bike (15 years old) and I'm riding the '74 MX175 from my teen years! Rock on!
Had a busted up Suzuki RM 250 I spent 6 mos getting fixed up when I was 15. Got dropped of at a bike trail and within a hour busted the bike agian then had to push it 3mi. Switched to cars after that.
hehehehe way to go red the kids driving a tow vehicle @ 13 yrs, kinda the same how it was w/ my old man...that might of just been a dry old crank seal got a flat spot on it from setting. in the name of reliability I had old huskies and maicos and they were cantankerous that way (kicking a 400 maico that many times is like investing in a new start shaft and kick lever evenw/ the compression release)so if its running awhile and 'leans out' on ya like that...first thing to check; do a 'proper' leak down test.
Awesome video, great to get him a good start on such a neat motorcycle. We do an annual Yamaha Endurofest ride, you can get lots of details and info on then at Yamaha-Enduros dot com. That model is a 1972 CT2 175 btw the exhaust is an aftermarket Expansion Chamber performance type system.
Hey, I don't know if you remember me. My dad and I came and bought a tote goat from you earlier this year. I use to have a bike like this. I also have a 88 ford with the 7.3 IDI. Check out my videos you might like them.

Cool project for your Son. I remember my first bike, worked on it for days. Once I got it running you couldn't wipe the smile off my face. Good job!

My first bike was a 1974 Yamaha RD 200. Great bike to learn on.

That's a nice first bike! Mine was a 1972 Honda Trail 90. The best times growing up was riding and working on the bikes with my dad and brothers.
Bought my oldest boy, (12 @ that time - 1979) a Suzuki or Yamaha) - (your boy & bike brought back the memory).

Love it , I'm a biker kind of guy have an old Yamaha I want to get going with my kids as soon as I can.

That's a short tether, maybe if you lengthen it the dog could have some grass to lay on. Happy that your son got a new bike. Another great video.
Very cool love dirt bikes. Grew up hauling tail in Colorado an Arizona. Enjoy!
Cool! I had a honda 170 sl or xl when i was a kid! bribgs back memories! :)
Nice addition. He will have so much fun with that at the RP Ranch. If he ever gets Dad off it. Lol.
I saw TWO kids playing with that bike!
You are correct!
Nice job to the both of you. That will be a fun ride at the new homestead.
Great job there. I had a DT175 in mid 80s in Kenya, it was brilliant fun.
I need to find myself a bike like that

I love living outside city..it's fun..
Clutch is finished too.
I had a 1971 185 Suzuki at his age...LOL
Didn't those run on leaded gas? Not sure if it makes a difference. Cool to see it running.
2 strokes don`t have valves. that what lead is for chushining valves so they don`t ping.
What he said!
I had at Yamaha DT125 Enduro when I was a kid. I´m 52 now.
Nice I owned a 74 DT175 great price!
Throttle cable hung up.
I hope you changed the oil?

LOL memories came out.
watch out that thing has points!
Cool! 2-stroke? can you license them in your area? My 1st was a '70 Honda SL125.
Needs the carb cleaned!
yee starting up boy
No helmet that is not a good idea. Good job getting it to run
where do you guys live not to long ago i had a bike identical to that and that really looks like its it.
Idaho.
Had a busted up Suzuki RM 250 I spent 6 mos getting fixed up when I was 15. Got dropped of at a bike trail and within a hour busted the bike agian then had to push it 3mi. Switched to cars after that.
My first bike was a 74 dt175
My first bike is the same, but mine is a 1980
My Mistake . . . I Meant To Say Yamaha Didn't Start Calling All Their Enduros DT Until 1974 . . .

Do u need a battery to start the bike?

Let that sweet dog lose.. that's so mean keep a animal on a chain.
Exactly
yamahappa..cool
Kid put the carburetor back on wrong that's why it was stuck at full throttle
That Is A CT-175. Yamaha Didn't Start Calling All Their Enduros DT Until 1975. Up Until Then, Only The 250 Was DT . . .
Hey, I don't know if you remember me. My dad and I came and bought a tote goat from you earlier this year. I use to have a bike like this. I also have a 88 ford with the 7.3 IDI. Check out my videos you might like them.
its your carburator man..smthg hold and make your gas not flow nicely to the carb.always check oil filter for an old legend
Nice , just make sure he has a helmet ...
My first bike was a yamaha
how Not to get a bike going. How Not to tie a rope to a bike. cool bike though!!
I hope you told him its illegal to ride dirt bike on streets.... I got ticket for it and it was in an alley.
Danger Dan and son...
ct175 not dt
Esa chatarra
