Can my $120 VINTAGE YAMAHA be saved? [throttle cable and ignition]

[@BrownsFaninIowa]

Mustie1 did a series on getting one of these running back in June.

Your sense of humor never ceases to amuse me, I'm thankful for that!

[@rhetericalpha]

Looks like some good progress made.

[@ajw828]

Your knowledge of everything never ceases to amaze. Great video!

[@robertsrbell7811]

[@traviswarehime5796]

The bike is in really good shape. I can’t wait to here it run.

[@nicholasbaker2904]

What cables did you order? I need new cables for my 73 dt250

[@rhetericalpha]

"Some very delicate machine work" grabs a grinder... made me laugh. That is something I'd do too.

[@wombat1238marsupial]

Hey! that sounds good, don't get a leaky carb- plus hot exhaust will equal an eventful time😂. Great video Jake👍👍

[@greened57]

100percent the oil injection ! That feature is sooo vintage cool stuff !

[@brockhance780]

Got one just like that one on my 12th Christmas loved that bike more than any other I've had since cool bike man!!!

[@7728abbott]

Your lighting is damn-near perfect in this video. Great job!

I rode a Yamaha 175 Enduro to high school back in 1976 when I was a much younger man of 16 years of age. Had a few shortcuts down a powerline and through an apple orchard that was at times very muddy so needless to say I'd arrive at school looking a mess. Boy, would I get some dirty looks (pun intended) from the teachers and some students. My shop teacher however loved it.

[@joelhansen7373]

You’ve got the first bike in history where the previous owner actually drained the fuel from the carb before storing it!

[@ElliottAlvis]

I am indeed the Kris Kringle of Content. Thank you for giving this bike the attention and love that it deserves. ❤️

[@DerveyZ]

Hey man love the video, Just picked up a 125 yesterday, Where did you get your throttle cable from? Im in need of a new one.

[@dudenamedclem]

At last!!! can't wait for this!

[@nicthompson9034]

BCM on the tool box. Hell yeah. Where's the link to the tool towards the beginning. I think you said flywheel removal tool? Thanks!

My 1st road legal bike was a 197x dt-100 two stroke. Top speed 70mph... down a big hill lol

[@blue04mx53]

about 10 years ago I rebuilt one of those . Mine was 1972 and I paid an embarrising amount of money for it. (700 Canadian Dollars). I was able to get a lot of NOS parts off Ebay. Later on to get it road legal I changed all the brake tail and signal lights to LED 12 volt. I also replaced all thos JIS (Japanese Philips) bolts with torx or hex heads. Where did you get your JIS Bits? I've been looking for them forever!

[@dave11686]

Happy Tuesday Jake!

[@pizzaboy192]

Anyone else notice that Jake is one wheel short of a full set?

[@100PercentJake]

Mentally?

[@pizzaboy192]

@@100PercentJake well, and I'm the stack on the right in the video. Only seven tires? Where's the last one

[@theo.k]

$120 for a vintage Yamaha is a crazy good deal. I tried buying a beat up Suzuki TM100 for a winter project. It looked worse that your DT. They were asking $750 and I didn't even get a chance to take a look. It sold the same day..

[@jsm9715]

I'm looking for a carb, for a 1974 Yamaha dt 250 .any help to find one is a appreciated.

[@SZINNAPALM]

I sampled your gripe (ahh man) @ 00:10:03

[@sampsonite24]

JUMP IT!

[@100PercentJake]

Oh I intend to

[@thingserik7269]

@@100PercentJake i would repair and flip it like your bud JR. No rust, no dents, perfect seat. Classic coinage

[@ekw555]

so, the bike has a heated seat?

[@100PercentJake]

😂

[@timkilgallon2098]

Look up vids on servicing the oil pump. Then again, maybe you should leave well alone.

[@Piracanto]

Maybe eye/ear protection? That grinder looks dangerous!

[@thingserik7269]

Appears to be no rust. Even as a project this would be listed for no less than a grand in metro NY area.

[@rayjames6096]

Looks like it's a 1974, the 1974 DT 125 had electric start.

[@heatherfeather8459]

You asked if there was anything specific to do with your motorcycle?! Yes there is, you can sell it to me!!!

[@marvinbanka7592]

They do more than 60 mph.
