[@gailtaylor1636]

I suspect you are exactly correct although not precisely what you meant. That bike was likely stolen at some point. No way anyone that knows anything about motorcycles sells THAT for $100. Not saying the person he bought it from stole it. Probably one of those "I traded for it" deals. Not concern where it originally came from. But that's the society we live in now.

[@davidbrilmyer2354]

Good deal!!!!that's the motor that started the blaster!!!!

[@evil14life]

The Blaster engine came from the DT200 dual sport bike ( did not get them in the usa ) the IT200 engine is based off the IT175 engine, and is completely different from the Blaster.

I used to have a IT 490 years and years ago, it was one of the craziest two strokes you could get in its day,it was hard work keeping the front wheel on the ground, i loved it, they had a bit of a cult following here in Australia and they still bring good money. You just never see them for sale.

The Yamaha ITs were a legend in their time. I had the 175 when i was 18 back in the day. The memories came rushing back. A bit of love and care on this one and you have a great bike for a really great price.

[@snapchord]

I am looking at a white IT125 on craigslist for $1,300 CAD. Do you think that version of the bike would be good for someone who is 6'1? I have never owned or ridden a dirt bike before but I am interested in just light trail riding (nothing insane) and restoring the bike cosmeticaly which sounds fun and in the end hopefully rewarding!

[@ShortyTW867]

I had a 1978 IT 175. I got it in about 1980 or so. I loved that bike. As soon as you started yours up in the video it brought back memories. I know exactly what the exhaust smells like too. So nostalgic.great video! Yours looks like about an 1983 or so...

It's always a good idea to check for spark before washing, just incase there's a problem. This will eliminate some trouble shooting you might have to do if something get's wet and shorts out.

[@MattyIce250]

I owned an 81 it465 for a while, now that was an awesome bike!

[@Truth-Liberator]

What a steal and so original. The bike only has a trip meter that goes up to 999 miles and that trip meter can be reset or removed at any time so it's very doubtful that it's only done 277. Having said that the bike is in nice tidy original condition and it probably hasn't done to many hours. I'm glad you seem to appreciate the gem you scored.

[@twisted-xh6066]

I had an IT 250 when I was younger, they are perfect trail bikes. The kings back in the day. These motors are bulletproof you can run them hard they still thank you for it. But again they have the power that comes on like a light switch. I don't know why Yamaha put the bracket in the centre of the pipe, I snapped mine these bikes are shit when it comes to catching air. They can chew up plugs to so keep them clean you need to run them hard go wide open with the throttle when you have the room

[@mattydsmowershop2730]

They are one of the best trail bikes. Now you can’t find em anywhere... this was my dads first racing bike and he hit the blackwater 100 back in 86 on this bike! It was brand new and he sold it in the 90s. He has always wanted one but you can’t find them and when ya do they are on the other side of the country.

Ppl only do this because he has the viewer clout they hit him with these deals and so he purchases

[@martykath4427]

I had one of these for 10 years. eventually replaced by an 05 wr 250 Husky. Check it has gearbox oil. Mine emptied the gearbox oil through the primary drive side crank seal.( It was running fine even with a faulty seal). They're great bikes . Wish i still had mine. They're difficult to hill climb , Not quite enough power, a short wheelbase and soft rear suspension. They wheelie too easily and are hard to steer while climbing. You'll see. Great to trail ride and even commute.

[@MatFlyinFoolHarris]

Them 'ol IT's are built like tanks...buddy of mine has an old 495 that still runs like the day he bought it new...'course he takes care of his stuff and does the routine maintenance when needed, but yeah...

[@johncoleman2495]

That would be either a 465 or 490....

[@joenatoli715]

Dang joe, there are a lot of deals out there, here in mass that would be like 400$

[@natealwardt9944]

Those new shoes on the second attempt to start really help! lol

[@tomnekuda3818]

The IT 200 was one of the sweetest trail bikes every made. With any upkeep at all they run forever....much like the KDX 200. I just sold my IT250.

[@steves2241]

A friend of mine had a 1980 Yamaha IT 400, got it brand new, and I rode it many times at a sand pit near me. great engine, I loved the powerband, but the suspension sucked, very little travel, about 8 inches in the front and 7 inches in the back. The suspension was way too soft and he had to get both the front shocks and the rear shock modified, with stronger springs. For that year he had 1980, the IT the rear monoshock sucked, I would say it had about 4 inches of useable travel, it would bottom out over a foot high jump, it was really soft from the factory. Once he got the suspension upgraded it was a pretty good bike. Very reliable, but it was also a little heavy, back then it was made of all steel. And btw, around here a 200cc dirt bike is almost worthless, because it does not have enough power. We ride in a sand/gravel pit with some giant sand hills, and that 200cc does not have enough power to make most of the hills, some 250's do not even have enough power to make some of the hills around here. Where I live and ride almost everyone has a 400cc dirt bike, or bigger, because of all the big sand hills. I had a 1982 Suzuki RM465, my friend had the 1980 Yamaha IT400, and my other friend had the 1980 Kawasaki KDX400.

[@richardleblanc9078]

It 200 is a great bike I'm pretty sure these engines were used in the Yamaha blaster 200 which is another great bike.

[@evanragon2088]

Similar but not the same , the IT200 is faster with larger exhaust ports , they do not share any parts but the blaster is highly based off of it

i had this exact same bike,they are a great bike.i ended up selling mine for 800 bucks and wish i never sold it.they are an enduro and i think would make a great motocross racing bike for even todays competition

[@hemisuperzee1287]

Not only is an IT200 a rare find, That thing is in great shape, most are totally trashed. Always wanted one. I had a IT250 which is way heavier and based on the 490. Had a YZ 490 with IT490 enduro parts and a lic plate-. The 200 was better in the woods than any of those.

[@divergent2619]

we got a barn find 81 IT 125. All original, rats nest in air box, cleaned it air box, carb and it runs like new. We take it out once a year for a spare bike. No draining fuel and it still starts easy and runs great.

[@wd-40everything65]

@Divergent the it125 is the rarest in my parts you just don't see them. Great you are keeping it going!

[@dwaynecluett8220]

a good tip for cleaning the green rotten fuel from a carb is to pick up Some engine tuner. It’s made by Johnson/ Evinrude. You should be able to get it at a marine dealer. Trust me it is awesome. Just spray it. Let it soak for a while. Cleans that hunk right up. I know this because I worked at an atv and marine repair shop for 10 years. Sweet IT 200 tho.

[@richardS730]

I have a 1978 it175. It was my first bike and I hope to pass it down to my kids. I also have a 1975 suzuki 75 that I'm working on now for the kids

[@hectorpuertoricanrivera3470]

Nice find great work

[@succ1ezt]

Just a tip, when you kick a bike over, don’t repetitively stamp on it, it won’t start and will likely flood the bike, or round the kickshaft, 1 hefty kicks all you need

[@cm5838]

I paid 200 for a much less complete 86 it 200, still working on it so far top end gaskets, crank seals, next will be a new mikuni and reeds. Also need to find a new brake caliper. Fun bikes for sure

[@tomnekuda3818]

I rode an 83 IT250 for years.....good bikes and tough. The YEIS honestly works....if you doubt it, just unhook it and feel the loss of power. Very tall in the 250 as it the factory build it on a 465 frame.

Should always work the foam oil into the filter, to be even safer slap a grease seal where it mates to the airbox also.

[@gailtaylor1636]

That air filter is junk. Those hairy filters were about impossible to clean. An aftermarket dual layer was much better. Separate the two layers, clean, put filter in large zip-lock bag & pour oil on. Close bag and kneed oil thru it. Squeeze excess out. Blot filter with a paper towel to remove excess oil. Really doesn't take much filter oil to do it's job.

[@oilinmyblood3906]
