1983 Yamaha DT125 LC MK1 walk around and start up

[@kwak1k]

Very nice. I owned a dt lc back in 1987, It was identical to yours. As a17 year old It felt so fast after riding a 50 , I used to polish it before every ride . Thanks for the vid mate

My pleasure, I'm pleased you liked it. The DT LC's were/are fantastic bikes. This DT was my first choice for my first bike as a new rider, having grown up in the 80's watching the older kids ride around on DT50's and 125's, I got the biking bug later in life and decided I really wanted a DT125LC. It really upset me to have to sell this bike. Had I not been forced into it for financial reasons, I would still have it now. But, the guy who bought it from me, purely wanted the best "looker" he could find to go with his collection of other classic 80's bikes, and like the rest of that collection, this DT won't ever see the road again, he bought it specifically to just sit with the others for him to admire - which pleases me. I have a real soft spot for Yamaha's. I have a beautiful XJ600N now, but I aren't ruling out the possibility of ever having another DT one day, but maybe a DT250 this time :)

Very nice bike, thé sound is crazy !

[@pilotamar1242]

do you mix gas with oil

[@muhammadumer5996]

How you make sound like this very nice....

[@drewerz01]

It's actually just how the phone camera I had at the time recorded it. I didn't like the sound of this video and felt the need to apologize for it. If I had a proper audio mic I would have used it to do this video. Thanks for your interest :)

[@muhammadumer5996]

Welcome sir,

[@Lander76]

Beautiful example, is it all original?

[@drewerz01]

+Lander F Thank you. No, sadly it wasn't 100% original. It was original frame and engine, all numbers matching, plus all of the panels were all original too, but the exhaust was after market and wheels had stainless steel spokes, plus some of the bolts and fixings were non original too but other than that, it was mostly original. I miss it :(

[@mohamadazim2919]

Friend this bike u do full restore or buy new old stock?

[@deaz96]

what exhaust did you have on the bike? ive recently bought this with a stock exhaust

[@W1Lf1968]

Is this not the start of the mk2 I had a 1982 DT125LC no rev counter just speedo n temp gauge

[@drewerz01]

No, from what I remember, according to the date of registration, it was a MK1. Unsure if the clocks had been replaced by ones from a newer model or what, but there was nothing in the history file about it.

[@jovanymarin9327]

hermosa dt

[@W1Lf1968]

What tailpipe is that if you can remember off hand

[@drewerz01]

I have no idea what the exhaust was. It wasn't original though, that is for sure. It did sound well though. It sounded much better than it does in this video :)
