The 5 Miles of Hell trail located in southern Utah has long been known as one of the toughest and most challenging trails an off-road motorcyclist can hope to take on. Completing this trail on a modern dirt bike is a chore in it's own, but how about taking an old $500 dirt bike through the gauntlet that is 5 Miles of Hell? Well, in our 5MOH $500 Motorcycle Challenge we do exactly that. In this video, we follow on-board with Justin as he navigates his vintage 1981 Yamaha DT175 through the beautiful yet grueling sandstone formations on 5 Miles of Hell.

Hey, just spotted this video, nice job! Have to admit that I just so happen to have purchased a '78 DT-175 that isn't running very well. There's a chance that the carb may not be original but even so, is there any chance that you could tell me what the jetting is on your bike? Thank you.

@Billy28376 4 года назад

That's awsome. Really cool series. You should make it a yearly thing.

@P4ddyC4ke 4 года назад

Y'all need to do this challenge again! It was fun revisiting this with your POV perspective.

Oh yes, I'm keeping my 98 DT for the rest of my life. Great ride there!

The DT175 is an awesome trail bike with some slight gearing adjustments...I race mine in AZOP GP races and it's a blast!

@matthewbrown4834 4 года назад

This series literally got me back into bikes. I binged the whole mini series. Had an old xl250 when I was younger. After finishing the series I went out and got a cr250r trail modded it and started riding with a few buddies. Haven't found another series like this. The terrain you ride is the gnarliest fun riding I've seen. Hope for some more videos and series like this! P.S. I started ordering from you guys at Rocky for all my parts, and cannot believe how fast they get here. (NB Canada) over a week faster then the parts I ordered from one province over the same day!!

@rmatvmc 4 года назад

Wow, that is awesome and exactly why we make these videos! Glad you're finally back out enjoying the trails. Thank you for the feedback, we appreciate it!

i love the vintage bikes, watching 5 miles of hell series is what got me into bikes specifically the vintage bikes, I would love to get one but im an atv guy at heart and would love a vintage bike like wes' yz125 or even the dt, an rm125 or 250 would also be cool but finding parts is just not easy

This was the main reason I was so interested in this series! The old YZ was a treat to watch as well. We just brought a 1975 Suzuki TS185 back from the dead! She runs like a champ. We finished the bike for a grand total of $478 xP Nothing like the bottom end of an old "3 stroke" ;] Hahah.

@rmatvmc 4 года назад

Awesome! Good job giving it a 2nd life! I have a 1974 TC185 I am fixing up as well. The TC is basically the same as your TS but has a hi and low transmission and E-start. Sure it weighs about 50lbs more than the TS, but it is sweet! - Justin

@grahamellis29 2 года назад

I'm pretty blown away, I just bought a 1980 DT175 and watched the owner ride it around his property, but i just stare at it, I haven't been on a bike in 25 years, but $350 was hard to turn down 😅

I rode both CT1 175s and DT1 250s on Colorado trails and deserts for years. I've been riding TW200s and XT225s for a while, but your series of vids has enticed me to go on the hunt for another CT or DT 175. They are hard little bikes to beat.

Those engines were notorious for the crank seal going out on the trans side and it would burn the tranny oil leaving a cloud of smoke. Talking about the Yamaha 125/175/200 engines. - DT/IT/YZ all of the air cooled ones.

@pryme2013 2 года назад

This was my first of many dirt bikes, same color even. I would push it 3 miles all the way to the local MX track and back home again after a day of riding before I even had a drivers license. With it’s 2” of suspension provided by writing pen springs I almost broke my ankles many times coming down off of jumps this bike had no business taking.

@ka4172 3 года назад

Super nice Video!I watch the complete video series "outstanding" i like to watch old smaller sized trail bikes like DT 175,, TTR 225 ,CRF 230 compete with newer bikes at realy though trial like obstacles when you have the experience! Many beginners are overwhelmed by there newest KTM race ready bikes!Damned what can he do with a It175? ha ha!

I really want to see more of the cameraman (and one other?) riding the CRF230F(s). I may attempt 5MOH on my 230F next year and want to see some inspiring footage ;)

@rmatvmc 4 года назад

So I was one of those cameramen, and I say do it! The CRF230F was perfect for that terrain. Just make sure you're jetted correctly and maybe get some wrap around hand-guards and you can't go wrong! Sorry we don't have more footage of the 230's. You don't get many chances to turn the camera around on yourself when you're the camera guy - Josh

These bikes need to come back from Honda, Yamaha, and Suzuki in a updated form that that are inexpensive play bikes because this is all that people need.

I have an identical 1981 dt 175 and that bike was almost invincible the position rings were shot ( it still ran) the piston was put in backwards ( it still ran) the oiler literally started sucking dust and shit into the motor ( it still ran ) I did blow the top end but shes fixed now and is still running strong
