    Makes me miss my 1974/75 Yamaha DT175!!! Every guy in school was jealous and wanted one, I had a blue one and I rode it to school everyday!!! On the weekends I’d take it on an all day ride with a couple of friends and take on trail rides but nothing extreme!!! Thanks for the memories, I wanted a 250 but it was a little too much bike for someone who weighed 97lbs!!! You got yourself an awesome find and a great bike!!!

    I had to click on this video, because the weird thing is, I have this same exact bike! It doesn't have the original paint though, but it's a strong runner! I've rebuilt the cylinder with an oversized piston and it has tons of torque! Glad to see you guys have yours in original condition and you're taking care of this old bike! Just make sure your two-stroke injector is working and you don't run out of 2-stroke oil in your 2-stroke oil tank, because you'll seize up your cylinder and have to rebuild it with a new piston like I had to do! Have fun with your bike!
    God bless!

    Worth fixing and riding. Weak point is the magneto coil. Made to break every 20,000 km. Buy a flywheel puller, I still have mine from 40 years ago. Exhausts can block easily too. If it's really quiet or doesn't rev out properly but runs good otherwise, check this. No turn signals until 75 or 76.

    Fun, you can hear the reed valves start working just before it starts running. Those reeds were frozen shut and that prevented the bike from getting fuel. The Marvel Mystery Oil and some fresh gas melted the sludge off the reeds, then the old girl started. I would have given $1,200 for that bike any day. i had a '74 CT1 175 back in the early 90's that ran like new. Fun bikes, but fuel hogs with small tanks.

    I think the brake light is shorted to ground, that’s why it’s dimming the headlight when you work the front brake. Cool bike, my first motorcycle ride was on one like that that my oldest brother had, it was blue it was a 175 or 125.
