Paul2010 Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 New to the Yamaha Owners Club although I have owned a Yamaha for over 10 years. 1980 Yamaha DT175 Enduro. Bought the bike from my brother-in-law for $300. It had a badly bent rear rim, bent levers, worn chain, worn tires, worn grips and boots, but it ran somewhat. Wheel Works in Garden Grove, CA fixed the bent rim and set me up with some DOT Pirelli knobbies Was able to replace most everything else with parts from Chaparral motorsports. A good friend of mine Angel Pena, cleaned out the carb and replaced the head and base gaskets. Next up is new crank seals and bike should be good for some desert trail riding. It is completely street legal with current CA tags. I am looking for a NOS seat cover as the original has some cracks.
