I OWN my yamaha calimatic 175cc 1982 . I love its 2 strockes engine and 6 gerars. These is not too original cos it has some parts changed and the engine is prepared and improved . Also these ride is minimalist. But it runs fantastic. My best toy. Greetings from Ecuador.
the transmission is synchronized and by backing off the throttle allows the shift up or blipping the throttle allows for smooth downshifts. there are people out there that shift up without letting off the throttle which I don't do because that practice is very hard on shift forks, the shift drum and the engagement dogs on the gears. letting off the throttle takes away the accelerating loads on the gears and allows for a clean shift, I never broke a transmission that way at all over 42 years of riding. I broke a trans when the chain came off and jammed the transmission breaking the gears on a 1970 DT1 I had back in the 80's and a hydro lock situation on a 1974 MT250 with a 1973 CR250 engine in the 90's crossing a stream at high speed. these were the only times I destroyed a transmission and it was not due to my shifting style.
Yo también tengo una calimatic 175 6 velocidades es mi sueño echo realidad acabos de cambiar pistón y quedó muy chingona saludos a todos aquellos que tienen un motor 2 tiempos en especial ala yamaha dt
Thanks! this video was made when I had a Big One expansion chamber and a FMF Turbine Core II silencer on it. I am planning to modify the original pipe removing the things the EPA did which was additional baffles and such things in the pipe that limited short circuiting of the exhaust port and transfer ports which made for a really restrictive pipe so it will work better for the modified ports in the engine.
the engines rev very quickly on these 175's and the dampening inside the tach can't quite handle it. I have the same problem on the Super DT400 project bike as well. it has the lighter flywheel from the Power Dynamo ignition system and a MX400B top end on it.
@@Bigdog302V8 , you are a liar. I own a 1973 CT3 175 and it tops out at about 55mph. A friend has a 1980 DT175 which seems geared a bit taller and it's done at about 58. Even a 250 from the era would be maxed at around 65 - 70.
