[@visiblexconfusion7458]

Just got my great uncles 75’ dt175, just needs a carb clean, gas tank clean and a new clutch and it’ll be great, won’t run right now because carb is clogged. Was running a few days ago

I should be picking up the same bike this weekend. I'm looking forward to getting it.

[@radiocameron]

I had to thin the herd, so I sold this bike to my cousin. The beauty of it is, I can still ride it when I hang out with him.

[@oneshothooligan6279]

just found one for $100 hasn't run in 10 years one owner pretty stoked my self have fun.

[@radiocameron]

@@oneshothooligan6279 Great deal on a sweet bike!

[@celsomatias335]

I have one of this, it has only 350 miles in it… all original… even the tires…

[@gregv7193]

I have a 1975 125 enduro and I can’t find anything on these things online.. my 75 will only create spark with the battery in? And it won’t charge the battery..? Any ideas?

[@JohnnySplattWadd]

I just scored a 75 DT 175 same color but running and complete. Problem is none the electronics work except the horn. Yes, new 6v battery installed. Any recommendations appreciated.

[@radiocameron]

Unfortunately, the 6 volt battery just doesn't have the power to run the horn. I have the same problem with my 1974 Yamaha DT250. I actually sold the 175 to my cousin a few years ago. Kinda wish I would have kept it, but I just didn't have enough room in the garage, and my cousin is pretty happy with it.

[@VEVOethanoneal]

Just got an 81 DT175, and was wondering if you knew where I could get a cushion like you have on the rack behind the seat? I looked around online a bit but didn’t see anything

[@radiocameron]

I would keep checking eBay or try a local motorcycle swap meet.

[@cell-z1b]

I have a 1976 Yamaha DT 175 Enduro, it has 355 miles on it, all original, even the tires, starts at first kick, registered in pristine condition. Help me!!, how much can I sell this lovely ride....

[@radiocameron]

No idea. I sold mine to my cousin a few years ago.

[@Sertao2013]

Have you tried putting a air hose where the gas on off is . The air pressure will take out the dents .

[@radiocameron]

Sold the bike, but like the dents. Gives it some character.

[@djizzah]

Why don't Yamaha Honda or Suzuki build a simple everyman two stroke like this today? Is it emissions, noise? These were an engineering marvel reliable simple cheap and a joy for the average folk

[@ronin99999]

How much did you pay for it ?

[@pajatengov8159]

what size of the rims ?

[@radiocameron]

19 inches.

[@marckradolfer6007]

18 rear, 19 front.

[@mkshffr4936]

Thought that was a stash of coke under the seat. ;)

[@danfortier9996]

I actually came across somthing like this but I don't know crap about it and its really messed up I have lots of questions about it and want to fix it up and make a monster out of it would love to pick your brain

[@radiocameron]

I'd love to help but no longer own the bike. Had it only a couple of months before I sold it to my cousin, who kept bugging me to sell it to him. Wished I kept it.
