Phil Hip Poh Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Hello everyone, and happy new year! My name is Filippo and I'm from Perugia, just in the center of Italy. It took me quite a few to finally become a Yamaha owner, I don't really know why, because I always admired this firm and its products. The Yamaha that broght me between all of you is a vintage one: a DT 400 that here in Italy is pretty rare and unusual I would like to tune it up a little for racing it in the Vintage Enduro Italian Championship, I'm sure that here I could find some good advices and suggestions. Thank you, ciao, Filippo
Moderator Airhead Posted January 1, 2012 Moderator Posted January 1, 2012 Greetings Filippo she looks very nice First thought are you will never get much power though!! she's what we call a 'Trail' bike not a proper 'Enduro' such as a Yamaha IT I say leave it alone and enjoy it for what it is
Phil Hip Poh Posted January 1, 2012 Author Posted January 1, 2012 Well... thank you for your wellcome! You know, here in Italy DTs are pretty rare, IT were almost never seen (if not during ISDE or such). My goal is to modify my DT progressively to an IT or something in between, and is not the power that I'm looking for... I'm afraid that I'm moving off-topic, I think I'll better create a new post about my ideas: I was just looking around to see where to put it and if it's not a double or such (I'm a moderator in a vintage forum in Italy, do you think that it happeras? ) Ciao, Filippo
Moderator Airhead Posted January 1, 2012 Moderator Posted January 1, 2012 ok although i'm sceptical of the possibilities, yes start a new topic in either dualsport or vintage sections, there are a few DT fans in here so we'll see what they think ...Paul
