Eric Paulsen Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Hello out there. I recently rescued an old 250 Enduro and am curious as to what year it is and if I wasted my time hauling it home or if there is activity out there. I know next to nothing about motorcycles, but know this one was pretty neat when I was a lot younger. The number stamped in the frame is DT1F-161889 (the last three numbers could be .....339?!?). It kicks over nicely and I was told it was running when last parked. What year would it be and would there be interest in it out there? I have no long term plans for it. Thanks for the help.

Moderator YamaHead Posted June 5, 2005 Moderator Share Posted June 5, 2005 Sounds like an early to mid 70's DT250, Eric I used to have a 73 DT125 that I bought for 150 bucks ....Great little bike! Check if there's a Manufacturing Date somwhere near that stamped frame number......If you found it up high near the fuel tank....That'll tell ya what year it is Just change the spark plug..... Check the interior condition of the fuel tank......if rusty, you can remove it & rinse it out with some deisel fuel to get rid of some of that Then add fresh fuel..... charge the battery or maybe replace it depending the bike's condition? ....& then start kickin'! ...to see if there's any life left in it. Hope this Helps..... BTW.....I almost forgot to the Forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
