ghb Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Hello, I am getting what I think is a 1975 DT 400 but cannot find reference anywhere to the numbers that are stamped on the frame and engine. They are matching numbers :501-003291. I am told there is really good compression but I seem to remember the DT had a decompressor on it. I do not know about the MX. I dont even remember where the decompressor is located. Is it a knob you pull out or what. I have not seen this bike yet but I sure am looking forward to playing with it. It will be a change from my little 800 Cruiser. Thanks for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I am in Canada (Northern Ontario) so it is not a UK model. This model may have been sold in Africa as well from what I read. I have not found any reference to the serial number but I am still working on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
