FINALLY RIDING my VINTAGE YAMAHA! [DT175 clutch replacement]

[@sleepyhollow783]

Mustie1, to those who haven't yet & who also enjoy mechanical rescues, it's a great relaxing channel.

[@chuckhixson2725]

Shameless plug

[@ncc74656m]

Hooray for the love for Mustie1.

[@batmansk6]

Mustie1 is amazing, love that guy

[@truckerdaveandred6731]

I got a good laugh out of it when you went from riding it to crouching in your garage talking about it and hearing sirens in the background. Good Times!

[@slaytallica136]

Also a mustie1 fan. It's like your wrenching in the garage with your uncle.

[@oldschoolriverrat]

ahhh, the Mustie1 Yamaha Enduro fix 'em up...he's got a few cool Honda rescues also.

[@datsunking6229]

O-rings in the clutch pack are considered "Clutch Basket Rattle" they are designed to reduce chatter from spline rotation and also metal on metal movement

[@martinholt2844]

Thanks, very interesting as I’m about to start restoring my DT250a, which is oh so similar!

[@mickhirst459]

I had a fairly new DT100 in 1981, then a new one in 1983, I now have a 1975 US Import DT125. They were all a bit tricky to get Neutral once you had stopped the bike whilst in gear. I used to just turn off the engine.... BTW great to see/hear one of those....

[@johnmoruzzi7236]

Perfect stablemate for a big bouncy supercharged Buick...... funky little ride !

[@ajw828]

Love seeing how this stuff works! Great video.

[@saleendriver]

Steels Jake.....the metal discs are called "steels". You're welcome.

[@craiggotgame]

Well done Jake

[@titanicfilmsbymark]

That's awesome Jake, glad you got her riding

[@thisnicker]

Jake, can you give a reference to where you purchased new plates?

[@mattern1974]

I had a neighbor years ago that used to let me ride the exact bike on dirt trails and hill climbs. Great bike!!

[@daviddennis9644]

IIRC 40:1 is the recommended mixture, but I have read that folks run anywhere from 33:1 to 40:1 ratios. Also have read that if you run it without an air filter, it will run so lean as to hole the piston.

[@100PercentJake]

Weirdly the plug looks flawless as far as mixture is concerned. A little bit rich, if anything, which seems like bad news for when I get a filter on it.

[@daviddennis9644]

@@100PercentJake What is the mixture you are using now?

[@maynorquevedo8832]

Nice 240 bro and thank you for your content

[@daviddennis9644]

Maybe the pieces you left out are contributing to the shifting issue???

[@kerrylewis2581]

So glad you are another step closer to repairing the DT. As another post stated. I've never seen little notches in a clutch basket. I wonder if that has anything to do with your neutral issue?

[@100PercentJake]

It's almost definitely the issue

[@dave11686]

This is a gripping episode

[@robertzechello4297]

the crank seals are bad. its eating the trans oil,/do both sides/ then it will be fine .

[@jamespn]

I’d use a spring loaded hand impact socket wrench to remove the side cover screws.

[@nyrobbie77]

Fun lil brapper Jake.

[@billys2416]

I am mixing 32:1 in my 76 DT175

[@JJPowell-y8n]

late the party as usual, great vid, have a 76 DT175 also with damaged kick gear and idle gear (probably a bad shaft needle bearing causing the gear to move and then get damaged), was trying to see the routing of your kickstart return spring as mine looks to loop around a pillar/shaft under the clutch basket which is different from all the other have seen which attach into a hole in the casing?

[@chuckhixson2725]

Good to see another inspired, by the one and only Mustie 1.. possibly

[@MikeG_9]

Excellent title!

[@timothyambre831]

This is a great look at how a clutch actually works

[@alexandrecouture2462]

I wonder if using a bicycle ''computer'' might be a good way to have a speedometer for cheap. You enter the diameter on the wheel in it and with a sensor detecting wheel rotation, it gives the speed.

[@tannercurve769]

Where did you buy the clutch from I have same bike and I can’t find a new clutch for it

[@glenopolis1147]

Where do i find new clutch parts for my dt100 1978

[@xxHONDA01xx]

Nice video, very helpful and informative! I have the same bike, 1974 dt175 with a slipping clutch. I replaced the friction plates following your video and it helped a little bit but it is still slipping under load in the high rpm range. I changed the oil to 10w30 thinking the oil I was using could be the issue and again, it helped a little, but still slips:( Thinking maybe I should replace the clutch springs with some heavier ones like you did? Where/what springs did you buy for yamaha, im thinking this could help my issue? Thanks!

[@cpscps2679]

Day 174 of trying to get James Pumphrey to bring us up to speed on the 240Z in Jake's backyard.

[@patmclean1951]

Yeah, what’s the dillio with the 240????

[@johnkennedy3663]

Next episode - Jake fixes his lawn mower

[@100PercentJake]

I mowed yesterday and the lawn mower did actually break 🙃

[@heyandreww21]

I'd watch it

[@beandrive]

3 comments and 1 like? Reminds me of my Suzuki TS 125 that I had in the early 1970's, spend a lot of time in the desert and the roads, good times. I was like #2 by the way.

[@mikekovacs8981]

your clutch basket looks pretty severely notched and in need of replacement

[@100PercentJake]

Those aren't supposed to be there? They looked so uniform I figured that was just the way it is

[@mikekovacs8981]

@@100PercentJake I've never worked on this particular bike but I've never seen one that is intentionally notched. They are smooth when new and got notched from the hammering of the clutch pack.

[@greathornedowl3644]

Love the old Yamaha - why does it remind me of a Triumph Bonneville?

[@patmclean1951]

No idea, way different.

[@rocket625]

wing ting boi 55% jake

[@cmcrisp42]

Someone should get this video in front of mustie1 so he can give some tips on what needs to be done now

[@garyevans9509]

You given up on this one???

[@nstg8]

Nice typo in the title, LOL

Hey Elliott

[@pauldionne1665]

Job well done. It at least moves and you can NOW run it, for a little while anyway. Wait till your Wife finds her container in the garage with oil in it. You better learn how to DUCK.

[@crawfordwice]

Where's the friggin grampa car!? Put a blower on it! Jack it up, slam it, rake stance even! We don't care! RWD conversion! Take it to an Indian reserve and drag race flatbed pick up trucks! More old guy car!!
