Thank you for this video sir.

I want to see a shoot out dt175 vs yz250

Hows your dt175 do running with the 250's for a old heavy bike i could run with em on the trails never tried on mx track

nice! needed to look how the front end came apart if had ball bearings in a cage or just freely moving around in a race. thanks for showing.

I had a red 1969 one. Used it til 18, bought when 10. Had a a 1/2 section of sch 40 pipe going from the steering head to the tail light because the frame broke at the seat/tank junction. The frame tube back at the rear axle also broke and the gear box was pretty messed up. I cast a upper triple clamp to hold my CZ 250 handle bars in metal shop in High School. Still riding with my ktm 300xc or my ktm 500exc. The seat base had to be strengthened also. It was toast when I gave it to a neighbors kid.

Love to have one

At 4:19-4:20 what is that small almost arch like thing beside the float needle? The spring

Hi, I'm currently restoring my 1985 IT200 and would greatly appreciate your help for finding the chain guard bracket showed in the video... many many thanks

Love the video!! Just a quick question though. I know you made your own tool but I was also wondering if there's an actual tool and what would it be called?

do you still have this bike my dad had one would love to buy it

That's awesome!

Cool!

I really miss my 78 DT175.....it was blue just like yours

Good job on the forks....that....snorkel...strangles the amount of air the engine gets...costs you at least 5hp....airbox and piston mods can get you at least a extra 8hp...ask me

❤️I love these videos!! I hope to make similar content soon!

Sophia, Queen of the Trails! Twice as tall as I saw her last and leveling up fast. Good to see you all out there having fun. I need to get back there to visit.

My first bike was a blue and silver 1969, what memories

Mine just started leaking...thanks for the video

Mine is silver top Marron bottom on tank and its original paint and the paint between silver and Marron is different lines than yours is your line is different threw side emblem mine 1 inch into emblem on the side

I got a 69 honda 50 mini z hard tail with a silver label on goose neck with a title one owner bought new you said black label is a title I was wondering why mine has a big paper title

Like my garage ct70’s and h1B , h1a

Can’t wait to get home and rip the 250!

How much does this bike sell for now

Was looking for a comparison between the 650 and 250 then started noticing the scenery. Dodge, Lionshead etc. Big O. LOL.

Can't wait to tear into mine and get them both back up and going. I actually have three of them but two are rough and the 86 that's like new has the rod through the cases. So since it's it such good shape cosmetics wise and has so many aftermarket parts with it. And the 84 is so rough cosmetics wise I'm just going to rib that motor and rebuild it for the 86 and all the left over parts will go on the 85 after I rebuild it. It actually runs but just for piece of mind I'm gonna throw a new piston and rings in it.

Great video, good job. Anybody have a set of YZ 250 forks, 1981?

That tool you made with the 20mm nut… is that nut an M20 that measures 30mm across the O.D., or a nut with a 20mm O.D.? Thanks for the vid. Super helpful!

Need contact for couple parts

Sip

nice explain!

Perfect. To the point and simple! Is this process the same for the 1980 175DT? I know Yamaha didn’t change their process much as far manufacture for their DT models but thought I’d just ask anyway. Will use this video for reference, thank you!

Cool bikes! Can you please tell me what kind of Gas your using in the bike? I'm afraid of pump gas with the ethanol. Do you use a race fuel or ethanol free gas? Thanks.

I love my YZ250 but I’ve always wanted one of these as a more tame trail bike.

Thanks for the vid, DR. Took me a day, compared to your 18 minutes, but my original 84 has some new knees! A large chunk was consumed trying to engineer a tool to get inside the star. I used a threaded brass hose adapter pounded into a socket. Worked like a charm. I plan on checking out more of your vids.

Working on an 86 it200 now! What did Racetech charge to rebuild the shock? I called them & requested a quote & haven't heard back :(

I like it

ok and so what?

How much are they ??

Lose the Muzak--can't watch it as is.

Looks like some fun riding! Found a IT200 I’m considering picking up.

I’ve been eyeballing an IT200 for sale near me for a couple months. I thought it would be impossible to restore and find parts for but then I discovered it’s the same engine in the Blaster quads. I think I’m gonna pick it up and start working on it. Hoping I can snag it for under $700.

Gotta love those ol’ IT’s!

The IT’s were kickass bikes

I had a 78 in 1982 or 83.. To this day I want another one.. Thank you for this..

How did you know what level the oil should be at?

I want One. Seriously

That is increible, I have a IT 250 L with the seme curt in the same site ...it is a little shor of that your ...

It’s a trials bike . 80’s version?

The KX couldn’t shake the old IT

Thank you for the video! I have to ask, what size and brand tires are on that bike? I just got a 78 DT myself and hate the tires on it and came across this video. Looks great.
