Une collection de clips … de mes trails de collection. Ce n'est qu'un début, il en reste beaucoup à montrer. Cherchez de temps en temps en tapant micou meekoo dans RU-vid. Some video clips of my old enduros collection, to be completed from time to time. Have a look by searching for micou meekoo in RU-vid.
Qui saurait m'indiquer où trouver un carbu d'origine en bon état pour une DT 125 et à prix raisonnable. Ou une copie chinoise de qualité correcte? Une suggestion Mr Montange?
@@micoumeekoo Salut Michel . J'avais pensé, compte tenu de votre expérience en matière ee restauration de Yamaha DT, que vous auriez peut-être un ou plusieurs fournisseurs favoris pour des carbus d'origine. J'avais essayé un carburateur chinois sur une Suzuki TS 125 avec succès ( montage et réglages faciles). Une suggestion pour une prochaine vidéo, un sujet ''Spécial Restauration'' avec le pour, le contre, les fournisseurs, les écueils à éviter serait grandement apprécié par vos auditeurs. Je retrouve le même plaisir à regarder vos vidéos qu'à l'époque ou je lisais vos articles dans Moto Journal. Merci pour votre réponse
J' ai déjà eu une 360 verte!! Ma première moto. En regardant la vidéo , j' ai l' impression de me retrouver au guidon . Les mêmes cadrans, le mëme son de moteur!! Super!! En terrain boueux, il ne fallait pas être en arrière de la 360... Ton casque, ta moto e tes vêtements chageaient de couleur.
It is a rare case of a bike having a different fuel tank depending on the country. The USA had a less round tank and also a different silencer. Europe and japan had the round tank and the silencer following the rear right frame tube, like the one in my video.
The power is lower on the whole range wit a 125 than compared to the 175. With the 175 cylinder, the torque is more pleasant, particularly at mid range. No need to ride at high revs.
Est-ce que vous etes aller dans un run Dakotas en 1980 a Amberieu. On a pas pu y aller mais alors au moins un de ces chops, que tu conduisez y etait. On l'a en photo.
Non, pas de Dakota ni d'Ambérieu. Je n'ai pas revu ces choppers depuis la fin de la tournée Pink-Floyd en Juillet 1974. On a su que le noir a longtemps roulé en Allemagne …
Awesome… It reminds me my 18!!!!… I sold it 30 years ago… and as the 2nd perfect bike (1st Ninety Scrambler) …. I’m thinking building one with few aspects I didn’t think back then… This bike sounds so familiar to me… incredible
I looked at a used 71 360 in 72 when I was 17 years old but I bought the silver 72 model instead. I found a 71 360 about 10 years ago and bought it. Love the black tank with red stripes.
Excellent video on this 1975 DT400 of yours!..Yamaha puts out an excellent dirt bike, and has for years. I was given a 1977 DT400 , first year of the Monoshock on the 400 size. Im in the process of restoring it to original..its in the Brick Red color. I'd say it hasn't been started in 20 years, maybe longer. I grew up on Yamaha 2 strokes..they get in your blood, you might say. I had a 75' DT360 and rode it back in the early 80s. Great bike also..They're ALL great bikes.. Again,...Excellent video you have here..Thank you, I enjoyed it!
I love those old bikes. But, in case of the KE125, it was a design fail from Kawasaki. Rotary intake is worth for peak power at hogh rpm competition and not for low rpm trail. Better here would be a reed valve version. But hey, it got sold. :-)
You sir have some balls kicking that over with sandals. My dad told me a story about his yankee. One time it bit back and ripped his brand new boots from the heel all the way up. The kick start had a nice curve perfect for a decent bite.
Guy I worked with, we both drove semi's between the Mississippi River at Davenport, Iowa to Chicago 5 days a week, He rode his Honda 750 4 - cam most days to work, I'd had a couple Honda's as a kid, 50-Z Mini-Trail and a Scrambler 70, my BIGGEST mystake was getting the 1972 Harley 125 RAPIDO, I spent more having Roger Reiman, yes, the Daytona 200 multi-time winner rebuild it TWICE after it blew up, but I got $200 cash and it was taken away from my sight. Then years later this OSSA 250 SIX DAY REPLICA drops in my lap, it hadn't been run in years but I had it running an hour or two after getting it home. It was GREAT for Sunday rides, mix some Yama-Lube with some 100+ leaded race gas and it ran like a striped APE. It ALWAYS got me home. The wiring on the OSSA had seen better days, but it was almost legal. The magnets in the MOTOPLAT ignition were getting weak, it was getting fussy about starting. I gave it to another co-worker who last I knew was riding a brand new KTM, I suspect my Ossa is setting in his old chicken house with a dozen other bikes that don't run! It's CRAZY, I've seen nicely restored low mile 250 SDR's advertised for $8000, yes, EIGHT Thousand Dollars. It's getting hard to find the YAMA-LUBE R I mixed with the 100+ leaded race gas to keep my 250 SDR running, Maybe I should look for a Honda 4-stroke, but I know I'll soon find it boring and trade it. I had a Yamaha RD-350 when I graduated college and started dating my wife, it started slipping out of gear, I didn't know ANYBODY that could fix it, I knew I could probably split the cases and maybe find the new parts it needed but doubted I'd ever get it shifting right so I gave it to my cousin with 4 sons. It's probably squeezed into a corner of one of his machine sheds. I seem to remember paying $600 for it, and I put a couple thousand miles on it. Sad twist of fate but about 6-8 years later I was working at a company that had 4-5 factory trained bike mechanics that worked on ALL brands of Japanese bikes, any one of them could have fixed it. Yep, would be nice to have a YANKEE 500 or a 250 SDR. I seem to remember giving the owner of the Ossa $100 cash for the SDR. Things like the fiberglass front fender were replaced with Preston Petty unbreakable plastic, but the fiberglass gas tank was starting to leak, THAT was going to be tough to replace. Everything the Cycle Magazine article said needed fixed had been fixed, and there was a multi-brand dealer about 40 miles away that carried a few parts, and Barnett Clutches sent me a complete set of new clutch plates to install when I replaced the worn primary chain. The over-size 4.50x18 rear knobby was replaced with a Chen Sing 4.00x18 to clear the drive chain. The seat was even in decent shape. Maybe someday I stumble into another SDR.
Wow ! Thanks for this long story. Apart from the trial and enduro world, the Ossa where pretty rare in France. Thanks for sharing your young biker's years.
Ok Micou, mauvaise idée donc ! Mon frangin avait un décompresseur sur sa 175 TY mais pas pour le démarrage en effet. Les 4 joints de culasse suffisent bien pour faciliter le démarrage, le plus étant l'ennemi du bien...
Salut, en plus des 4 joints de culasse et d'un bon réglage de l'avance, installer un décompresseur de TY en place de la deuxième bougie pourrait-il faciliter le démarrage, le décompresseur d'origine n'étant pas très efficace ? jeff
Salut Jeff. Je n'ai jamais utilisé ce type de décompresseur et je ne vois pas comment le moteur pourrait démarrer en supprimant la compression. A moins de décompresser seulement au début du coup de kick et de relâcher le décompresseur sur la fin. Pas simple ! En plus, si on fait du tout terrain, il y a souvent des cochonneries entre les ailettes de culasse. Le décompresseur souffle l'air quand le piston monte, mais il l'aspire quand le piston descend, et les cochonneries avec ! Pas une bonne idée pour le piston et le cylindre.
Bonjour. La 125 KE est effectivement une très bonne 125, mais la DTMX ou même la 125 1F9 de 1976 sont aussi sympas et efficaces. Mais les 125 que je préfère sont celle qui ont un piston et cylindre de 175 ! Soit d'origine, soit rajoutés. Même poids, même gabarit mais un moteur avec plus de puissance et surtout un peu plus de couple à mi-régimes. Moi qui n'aime pas approcher de la zone rouge quand je roule, c'est appréciable.
Bonjour oui la 125 dtmx est une super moto d enduro pour débutant et autre. J ai possédé deux de ces bécanes. et franchement pas déçu. la premiere un modèle 1978 et une seconde modèle 1981 avec kit 175 Gaston rayer. Première année de commercialisable mai 1977 en deux coloris. Orange jaune et rouge et la seconde bleu et noir.
