julien Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 hello my name is julien, iv got a lot of bikes but recently iv picked up a couple of yamahas so thought id better join the "club".I had yamahas when i was a teanager but moved on to other bikes as i got older(triumphs and the like) but last summer a friend gave me a xs650 in a uncle bunt hardtail frame in payment for some worke i did for him and just recently i got my hands on a dt175 that had seen better days and was being used as a field bike. When i joind the triumph owners club thay had a service that told you the history of the bike just from the frame or engine numbers , i was wondering if this club did a simmilar thing? or is it more for the good crack ?

Moderator Airhead Posted January 22, 2012 Moderator Share Posted January 22, 2012 Greetings Julien so you want to know the year/model is that it? what are the numbers then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julien Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 hi airhead, yes im a bit worried about buying second hand bits of ebay without knowing the year of my dt175 . im also unsure of the history and would like to put it back on the road but this "no history "stuff is all new to me and i dont know how you can get any where without some official help .anyway the frame/engine number is *k4-025482* . all help is much appreciated . my very first bike in 1982 was a dt50mx i loved it and was never of the thing , happy days. im guessing this dt175 is about a 1981 model . its a mono and has a square box section swing arm . its bean resprayed but i think the collor was white . cheers.
