Where in the world did you find a DT LC 50 in the US?!?!? Been looking for one of these forever!

Fun 👽👍✨

Poor engine

Hows your DT 50 sir? I just bought the same DT 50 model same as yours but it needs some work in order to get it back to its good running condition.

I hope my proctor is that chill. 😎

A good friend of mine has a Yamaha DT 50 R 1989 5 speed (first year of the german model) originaly it is extremly restricted to ~50km/h to be considerd as a moped under german law and be sold as one but with a few simpel upgrades like a bigger carb (16mm->17,5mm), an aftermarket sports ehxhaust and a bigger gear in the front it easily goes 90km/h, extremly fun to ride because it's power is pretty easy to control but still enough to rip through the woods

Great to see someone give it full send like I used to mine all the time....I had the exact same colour and remember selling it eventually 35 000 ks later for more than we paid.

I just completed a total rebuild in my living room. Haha watched this so I know what it should sound like before I kick it over for the first time !

You are so hot kickstarting that beast

Running two lots of oil will probably give you a week mixer and make your engine overheat

This was my very first bike I bought with my own money I made working when I was 11yrs old, I absolutely loved that thing and rode it absolutely everywhere, streets(legally of course 😅), trails, dirt, miles and miles each time I took it out.....sure it wasn't fast, but it sounded cool with that little 2-stroke and it was quick enough to keep up with traffic 😂

7 HP is pretty cool for a 50 cc.

never... NEVER shift down on a 2 stroke and let the engine brake for you. Press the Clutch and use your brake. 2 stoke engine arent good or nearly none lubricated without throttle

Had the honda mt50 (snail)Not bad..luckily it siezed so got the honda mbx 50..the difference in speed.was amazing..super fast.100kmh no problem.Super dt 50.

Thank you for sharing 😊

Is this the hawk 250?

We had the air cooled DT50 in the uk back in the 80s and 90s it only reached around 35-38mph, we did have the 125lc which we could ride at age 17 though 🙂

I am 12 and my grandpa got me one of these 1988 Yamaha DT 50 liquid cooled and mine in the past has been beaten to Hell it has 58,000 Miles and there’s only one blinker that’s still on it one of the mirrors is missing and the speedometer Cable is for some reason not on the bike

Lean it over til fuel comes out of carb. Make sure you’re at top dead center and kick it over.

Your Grandfather is the coolest… I hope I’m like him one day

If you keep your finger on the clutch ready to go you'll have less stalling and when you're about to loose balance point you can pop the clutch a bit to keep it up

Cool bike you have bro! Take care

I had a Dt80lc2 with 100cc Polini.

I had a rd50 my best mate had a dt50. I absolutely smoked him on the straights. He could pull 42mph mine was good for 45🤣 so much freedom for a 16 year old. Treasured memories

1st motor bike i ever riden and enjoyed it

By the way thank you so much for the vid

Just got one about a year ago and trying to get it right for my 15-year-old son. Done a bunch to it but wondering why it likes to run close to the red on temp? Someone who might have owned one would be able to tell me please please

You can get a 70cc tuning kit for it online for about 180 bucks.

Hey, the good thing is the only damage wheeling will do to ur bike is bend the rear grab bar but that’s it

Try 3rd gear and cruising

You still have the 480

If you lean it over until the gas flows out of the carb and kick it on the compression stroke it will fire first or second kick

Had this bike as my first dirt bike. I loved it until my buddies started getting KX, RM, and CR 80’s….. then I felt like a loser on it lol

tool kit on the side. the steering lock saved mine.

Oh man that was intense. Those skinny ridges aren't for the feint of heart that's for sure, had me on the edge of my seat! Well done dude ✌

Remember when we thought we were going to catch crabs on camera but the only thing back there was ants? 😂

Hey folks. I bought (traded my Seca 650 even) 1989 DT50/LC in bumblebee in 1991 as a new leftover from my lifelong dealer. I've had it in service since then and instead of bragging how little milage, it's time to exclaim the 10,371 miles on it now. The head's never been off, so that's original rings and bore etc. If you average a 10 mph speed that's around ONE THOUSAND HOURS of use. There isn't a rattly YSR 50 in existence which can claim this, I'm betting. I pour over overpriced YSR ads and rarely is there one even approaching 4k miles with out some YZ 80 motor replacement. I've geared it taller with a one tooth countershaft sprocket and have had to replace the seized and cracked swing arm on the cheap from eBay. The frame also rotted in front and I had a local legend welder do an incredible fabrication. I'm on like my 5th exhaust pipe. The factory replacements were made of real rottable steel stock and am better off on eBay acquiring OEM but rusty ones. I even got a 63 in a 45 mph speeding ticket on the thing. Fun fact: These were the ONLY completely street legal liquid cooled two stroke enduro ever sold, of any make or displacement in the USA. More features than the XTs; tachometer, 6 speed, monoshock and real, instead of goofy scoops on an air cooled dinosaur, liquid cooling.

I've got one too same colour combinations just the EU edition since 1996 and will be forever the one ❤️. You have an stonishing bike please do believe me.

I’ll buy it if you want to sell it.

Most people don’t realize the work it takes to just stay on top of the bike during acceleration. I owned that bike. It was exercise

That's like a step above a Honda spree or Yamaha Razz. And to try and ride it on trails, it's probably okay as long as you're on hard packed dirt and FLAT ground, cause I can't imagine it would have enough power to go up a hill that's any steeper than about a 25° angle.

Btw you should of waited for the push then a bit after you gear up

I had the same with golden rims. DT50MX. red/white. awesome moped. in Germany it was cylinder-aircooled. What we here see, is a DT80 with a 50ccm Motor, thats amazing, not available in Europe. Strange but cool.

A 50? in a bike made for a 250+? I'm surprised it even moves at all.

My first geared bike! Went to see how much they go for again recently and there now a classic and demand high prices.

Wow great motorcycle . this bike is good for 5.6 height?

ยกนิ้วให้เลยคับสุดยอดมากคับชอบ

I think that looks pretty snappy for a tiny 50cc. Looks like perfect power for running around town. 👌

I have one and I am 15 but it has zero compression but I have a parts bike that I am going to take the head off and try that
