Yamaha DT250 facts and features: ride and photos

This is my 1974 DT250A two stroke enduro bike. I removed the engine and had the frame sand blasted. I then painted the frame and swing arm. The fuel tank, oil tank and side covers are the original finish. The fenders were repainted by the previous owner.

Beautiful indeed. I had two of these back to back when I was 15 - 17 yrs old. Man, I miss that sound. Both had dents in top of gas tank from my nuts hitting multiple times lol. I rode the crap out of these bikes. Raced multiple enduro races, and racing through woods every weekend with group of buddies. Great memories.

I used to own a red Dt175 from 1972. Pretty fast bike, I still miss it.

Nice bike, sounds good. I own a DT3 250 Enduro in Yamaha Competition Green, I don't think it sounds as good as yours. It melted its piston, maybe the timing or mixture isn't right. It's running electronic ignition and it's now 12v too.

[@pilotpure]

My best advise would be to go to www.yamaha-enduros.com. They have a Tech Library with Service Manuals and a lot of knowledgeable people that are willing to help.

[@johngy40]

@@pilotpurethanks for the tip

[@DH-mf2lv]

How do you like the DT250 vs the YZ250?

[@pilotpure]

Cannot say, I have never owned a YZ250.

[@theburger_king]

newer bikes are so ugly, wish they would go back to the older designs they used for these 70s enduros

[@mohammadtaufik5474]

This is made in?

[@pilotpure]

The DT250A is made in Japan, the video is made in Canada. 🙂

[@libardogutierrez1140]

would you sale it? if yes, how much?

[@pilotpure]

Sorry, it's not for sale at this time.

[@ntnsty]

I’ll bid when it is.
