    Hi, By accident I threw away the oil line that attaches just above the oil filter cover and runs up to the back of the engine just below the head. I have a photo but haven't figured out how to attach yet. By my description, does anyone know what this part is called and where I can buy one?

    hi everyone I restored a yamaha gt80 and I've heard people say they're not worth anything. but I've looked on kijiji and eBay and I found 8 of them for sale (in all of canada) and 1 complete bike in terrible condition on eBay for 999.99$ (totally ridiculous) but how can these bikes be so invaluable if they're so rare?

    Just started stripping my 78 DT and need some advice on spare parts. I need swing arm pivot bushing the long steel one, nylon top hat bushings and the chain roller. Also the monoshock pivot pin ( the one with the split pin ). There is a kit for the swing arm available a Yambits, has anyone used it ? Can't see the the pivot pin on Yambits. Do Yamaha still stock these parts ? Andy

    How does it stay in the front wheel hub? No bolt/circlip just an o ring? or is the wire cable guide on the fork supposed to hold it in place? Regards Simon

    Everyone I have battled and battle and battled with my 78 dt 175 and I cannot figure it out. The bike starts easy however this is all it does the idle sounds terrible and won't take any throttle at all it just makes the bike die. Here are my thought : the idle I currently have the wrong piolet jet in the carb because I just found out after a year of having the bike,bit has a 79 carb on it and when I got a new piolet jet I got one for a 78 that part is on the way. Bike not taking throttle: so after realizing the carb deal I realized I was missing a rubber o ring the seals the main jet... Ordered yamaha ones not here yet but I had a o ring that seems to fit... Didn't change…

    hi guys, my friend has just recently bought an 03 model dt and were both a bit confused with getting it to run properly. the day he got it he rode 25miles home, once home he realised the boost bottle on the side of the airbox wasnt even connected. after reconnecting it i cant get it to idle well, the mixture screw is all the way in and it kind of idles but every now and again the revs build up to around 5k and stay there until you blip the throttle again. the main jet is 240 and i now stock is 210, it has a dep pipe but is it possible for the jet to be too big? i can get it to run and idle fine with the choke on but cant do anything with it off. i recommended that he sh…

    Mine doesn't have one and before I put it on the road I need to fit one, but there seems to be two choices! There is a rubber one, or a nylon one which looks more robust ( obviously ) which is it please and where from ? ps. I've just found a picture of a nylon one with what looks like a rubber sleeve! Is that why eBay shows two types ?
