Can we start this barn find 1974 Yamaha DT100 Non runner. Will it run?

[@thomascarruthers3980]

Have a tt250 83 and 78 dt250 Great to see classics come back to life! Cheers from Ontario Canada!

[@SpecialisedMotorcycleTransport]

You're very welcome 😁

[@nevertooshiny]

Had a green, R reg one in 1980, bought it from a bloke in East Herringthorpe, Rotherham. Don’t remember it having two plugs. The cable to the oil pump was broke, lucky it didn’t cease up.

[@legendzmob8443]

Great video mate. I learn a lot from this episode that i can use to fix my dt100

[@SpecialisedMotorcycleTransport]

I'm happy to hear it helped you mate. Watch the other vids too and don't forget to subscribe. 😁

[@SBKPete]

Had a blue DT125 back in 1978, which I had from new. Happy days 😊

[@SpecialisedMotorcycleTransport]

MOT and Tax Exempt now so a great time for another one. 👌

[@johnbest4320]

Nice barn find I've many fond memories on the dt 100 as kid and teenager it was a bike I kept for a long time

[@richarddinning6901]

Masterclass ive just started to watch yourself old school fantastic content

[@SpecialisedMotorcycleTransport]

Ah thanks Richard. 😁

[@shootermcgavin2819]

The gasoline in America is 10-15 percent ethanol. It says 10 at the fuel stations but you can buy a test kit that tests alcohol content in the fuel and many people have found 15 percent which is bad for gasoline fuel system. E85 is rare. The city I live in has only one E85 pump.

[@johnbest4320]

Absolutely marvellous bikes the dt 100

[@Kasabian1507]

Brilliant. Nice little bike

[@kevinhaigh1654]

Sounds like a knackered crazy frog ringtone 🤣🤣🤣but brings back memories my 1st legal road bike was one of these but green and white tank

[@SpecialisedMotorcycleTransport]

😂😂

[@geoffheath4662]

You have more patience than me..I have a 125 which has given me some grief ..enjoyed the video.

[@SpecialisedMotorcycleTransport]

We aren't done with it yet. We're recomissioning it so it's partly reliable. 😉

[@johnbest4320]

Back in the day bikes were made to last they were really well made and not to complex much easier to work on and diagnose a problem not that there over complicated now but lots of electronic failures you can have

[@SpecialisedMotorcycleTransport]

No tax or mot required on this one either. Win win. 😂

[@artiexr222]

Great vid mate enjoying following your progress. Yambits are good for some things but have a bit of a rep for others as I found out when I had my RD250LC companies like them though are still invaluble for keeping classics on the road these days. Keep up the good work.

[@SpecialisedMotorcycleTransport]

Yes I'm not knocking Yambits as they've been great in the past, but every part we ordered for this bike was wrong so far. 🙁 Thanks so much for the nice comment.

[@bananabrooks3836]

From experience, pattern carb kits are notoriously not to the correct spec. especially the float seats and needle valve!Much better to spend more on OE parts that fit and work first time when correctly assembled. Also you need to do some research on the exact model you have using the frame/engine no.s and the internet. Fowlers is a useful site.

[@SpecialisedMotorcycleTransport]

Yes we will have to research the carb itself if we're going to use it as the DT100 isn't listed on sites even Fowlers. 😢

[@johnsunter866]

Maybe a ty80 carb or dt 80 carb would sort it baz with a bit of playing around with the jetting,I bought that cr of jem by the way buddy 👌👍

[@SpecialisedMotorcycleTransport]

That's brilliant to hear buddy. Nice to be able to bring sales to Jem. 👍😉

[@officialmysteriousrider130]

Mr mega nuts bolts does Japanese standard you find it on eBay I just bought a tzr kit for my DT 125R or buy a mixed pack he does wireing for looms too . & Oil in air lines can corse dull powder coat

[@SpecialisedMotorcycleTransport]

Thank you my friend. 👍😎

[@officialmysteriousrider130]

@@SpecialisedMotorcycleTransport it's actually called Mr mega packs not mega nuts Lol

[@Betsy387]

I allways wondered why they had two plugs brillant idear why don't modern enduro bikes adopted this

[@SpecialisedMotorcycleTransport]

I think it's just because the old bikes fouled them up so often. 😁

[@Betsy387]

@Specialised Motorcycle Transport yer I watched the nexted vid where you get it running thanks for the reply grate channle can't believe I only just found you

[@pushironpatrol]

Love it man watched it from start to finish, I want a go when it's done 😁

[@SpecialisedMotorcycleTransport]

Of course mate, come down and help us fix it. 😉

[@robertadams4415]

E85 has 10 percent ethenol witch I don't use I use 91 or higher in my bikes

[@SpecialisedMotorcycleTransport]

Ah so it's the same as our E10 which is equally awful for old bikes. 🤔 Thank you for that info.

[@daveaskham122]

If you’re going to be riding the bike around Scotland, who’s going to be providing the recovery service in the van? If you need a driver, just give me a shout !! 😉

[@daveaskham122]

PS, I could smell that fuel from here !! 😂😂

[@SpecialisedMotorcycleTransport]

Mate it'd be amazing to have you with us. 😎

[@stephen3224]

E85 contains 51 to 85 percent ethanol which is no good for two strokes at or even 4 strokes check all rubber deal and replace if neccesary as ethanol will destroy them eventually check carb clean carb and replace with clean new leaded fuel uk fuel as I brought a bike from USA a 1972 ski ts 90 and did this to it and it ran good I'm thinking about buying a 1972 suzuki ts 185 from USA for £1000 what puts me off is the shipping cost the sellers says are 100 dollars its more than likely going g to cost £800 to £1000 to ship the bike it has nova pork what do you think is it worth it it does run

[@SpecialisedMotorcycleTransport]

Talk to Jem at Top Dog Motorcycles which is linked in the description of the last video where we bought this bike. He will be able to ship it to you for a charge I'm sure. 😉

[@vijaykorvekar1009]

What is the wheel and tyre setup

[@SpecialisedMotorcycleTransport]

It has an 18" rear and a 21" front.

[@alandewar3143]

The Fuel is Utter Shite over here and Technically they claim it Goes by Octane. I have a 2016 Indian Chief Vintage and it Runs like Shit on anything under 91.

[@leifkall9009]

To much musik mate!

[@SpecialisedMotorcycleTransport]

Thanks for the comment mate. 😁

[@SteveHacker]

Music is not needed here, and it takes away from your video. Believe me, anyone watching this kind of video would rather hear a 2-stroke engine than music covering it and your voice up… And a camera lens cleaning wouldn’t hurt, would it? 😂😂😂

[@SpecialisedMotorcycleTransport]

Thanks Steve. We aren't a big youtube channel we deliver motorbikes for a living and this is just a hobby. We're learning and growing so thanks for the constructive input. We appreciate the comment. 👍
