This is my 1980 Yamaha DT Enduro 175. I got it for free from my dad's friend about 5 years ago. I cleaned it up a bit and the engine was in pretty good shape so all I did was replace the gaskets. I also had to replace the handlebars so I used some stock Honda CRF230 ones that were just laying around. Other than that just about everything, besides maybe the tires and battery, is stock.

It is an air cooled, oil injected two stroke. It doesn't have nearly the power band of todays two strokes but it was really meant as a trail bike.

The wiring is really messy and you have to kill it with the key instead of the kill switch or else you get a nice electric shock which I have gotten too many times.

I don't really ride it that much but when I do it is really fun.

If you have any questions feel free to ask.

    Sweet Ride. I've got 1981 Yamaha 100 enduro and a 1982 Yamaha 80 enduro. Both in great condition. Don't get to ride them much anymore, but loved it when I was a kid.

    I don'g believe it has a CDI and I don't know the exact gas mileage but I would say it gets anywhere from 30 to 40 miles a gallon.

    Yeah I love this bike although I would never race it it is a great trail bike and I always liked 2 strokes better than 4 strokes.

    never made in uk,we could buy them from about1977 to early eighties, when new laws restricted learners to 125cc and 12bhp made them unpopular.dt125 liquid cooled took over.175cc became an odd size,shame nothing quite like it anymore.
