MPacheco Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Hey everyone, i just bought a late 70's Yamaha IT 250. Dont really know much about the bike, its all in boxes and a part kinda making it my project to get it together and get it running!
Sacha Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 hello and welcome! Sounds like quite the project.
Noise Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 Welcome to the site! Get them hands dirty and im sure your become an expert on that bike
dt502001 Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 Hi ya welcome where abouts in the country are you,I'm in SWO ( south west Ontario). Posting picts is a bit of a job as the site has no direct down load you''ll have to set up a photo bucket account and the post that link here,but we love to see frame up jobs so start a thread in projects so we can help and watch
blackhat250 Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 Welcome MP" what you have is the enduro version of the DT250 , taller & faster.... pre-mix tho" http://www.yamaha-it.co.uk/tests/1980_IT250_leaflet/80_IT250_4.jpg
dt502001 Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Yep thats IT had one made a great ice bike taller gearing than the yz's so turn in braking( for thoes that have never iced you don't use the brakes just pitch the bike in and slide till you slow enough to get around the apex and then gas your way out) and out of corner pull was great, endless wheelies in 3rd gear with the torque that the heavier flywheel gave, great bike another one I wish I still had. Another great one of yamaha's way of breaking the rule's of what is road leagle ,just like the wr250f it's a race bike in wolfs clothes to be road ileagle ... OOps sorry I'm hi jacking your intro welcome again.
MPacheco Posted October 11, 2013 Author Posted October 11, 2013 Thanks for the welcome everyone! Been slow going on the bike hopefully ill have pictures up soon!
