Yamaha 175 Enduro Top end build, bike assembly, test ride 

He knows a thing or two about two strokes, that fellow in Montana. Started first kick and sounds as sharp as a razor. Great job Dale, he's a lucky owner. Best wishes, Dean.

Dale, you make it look so easy. I wish I had your talent. Good job.

I recently picked up a ct1 175. Never have I ever worked on motorcycles before so kinda scared but this video makes me feel better

It’s great watching someone who really knows what they are doing working on such a lovely old bike. Inspirational! 😀👍

Great Work Dale, thanks so much for all the know-how shared with the Yamaha 175 project. I'm sure I speak for all the guys when saying it was very enjoyable and educational to watch. I hope the owner has a blast riding it.

Thanks Dale. I really enjoyed that. What a great little bike. You've done a wonderful job on it!

Good job Dale I am continually learning from you. I enjoy all your videos. I have 4 of those 175 takes me back when I was young simpler times. Keep making this videos Thanks Dale.

They are a fun little bike, excellent trail bike.

anealing copper and aluminium re- aliens the molecules that get twisted from work harding. learned this when making copper bracelets.

Running great now, enjoy it

What an awesome result after all your work. Fired right up and sounds amazing. Night and day from when you first got it. Another one saved!! Weather looks good out your way. Great day for a ride. The owner is most fortunate for your efforts. Well done!

Hey Dale, would have loved it if this series came out just a few months earlier as I had the same crank bearing issue with my first experience in moto repair on a CT3. I've learned so much from all your videos and they have been a huge help along the way. Was able to resurrect the bike and get the first start in 15 years out of her thanks to you. Thanks again, and keep up the good work!

frank here , just drove the slingshot down the strip here in Vegas,94 deg.

Thank you so much for sharing your videos. I’m in the process of tinkering away at a ‘74 DT175 restoration (last 6 years😂) and was curious what the transmission looked like inside. Having watched your video, I’m more than confident I have the skills to open it up and check things out. Thanks again……new subscriber.

Hey Dave, thanks so much for your vids I have watched a number of them so fare and I really appreciate you taking the time and making these vids. I have a couple of questions, not sure if you have time to answer them or not and I can appreciate you are probably a pretty busy person with your work and your channel, so concise answers would be understood. I have a 73 Yamaha RD350, just a bit of back ground info, the engine was rebuilt by the person I bought it from about 5 years ago and I have no reason to doubt his workmanship as his a Yamaha tech, I put about 1000 km's on the bike and I was jetting the bike (I bought a set of JL pipes) and in the process the left cylinder seized, it now only has 30 psi in it. When it first initially happened I thought I holed the piston and in discussed with myself I parked the bike and after having a serious medical episode the bike ended up sitting for about 5 years, I'm better now by the way :-) and this week I decided it was time to get the bike out and resolve the problem, (piston was not holed, just a lot of scaring on the cylinder walls) hence why I found your channel. Question1) The Right cylinder is good, barrel looks good everything is good, 150 PSI, the Left Cylinder, is 30 PSI, lots of Scaring, my assumption is to bore next size over and new piston and rings, the question is, can I get away with just only going to the next size over on just the bad cylinder or do they both have to be done. Next question is, while the bike sat on its kick stand for 5 years the crank case filled with injector oil, what would cause that? Thanks again for your vids they have helped a lot particularly the oil pump adjustment. Thanks Karl Squire.

Amazing work!

I know them old Yamaha engines like the back of my hand, my first road legal bike was a FS1E 50 but the engines were in bits in a rubble sack in a bib box, there was a big bore head piston and rings and a standard cylinder, piston and rings, not marked and rust starting to form in the both cylinders, one bottom half engine had a big.crack in the side case and on the other the gear selector shaft had no splines on it completely rounded off so I had some swapping around to do lol

great video dale u could tell first start up it woz happier keep up the good work

Good job brother.

Hey dale, you gotta her back together pretty quick. Good job as always

What Dale doesn’t know about 2 strokes isn’t worth knowing. Dale if I may suggest you doing a video on a 4 stroke single of any type. It will broaden your viewers a fair bit I reckon. You deserve a huge following on here. Have a think about it at least, I know you have your specialty and do it better than anyone on here.

Would be cool to have one of them old dt's

The engine sounds so crisp and responsive.

Engine sounds tighter than a drum. Started up before your leg got halfway down!

Brilliant video dale, could you enlighten me as to what you were doing at the 37 minute mark with the flywheel please, thankyou?

Hi Dale, is the modern regular gasoline safe for vintage 2 stroke motorcycle engines? Mine is a 75’ DT400.

I have a 1978 dt125 and i want to replace the piston. If it is a stock size and the bore isn't too damaged would it be safe to run a new stock piston? I've heard about going up in diameter .5mm

Hi Dale! Yamaha cylinder jug ​​1974 DT175 DT 175 is compatible with the Bottom End of the CT1 engine? Thanks

Okay hopefully this doesn't seem too long. I have a 1978 IT175. It needed a new piston so I had it bored 2 times over. Bought a new piston and new rings. Both the piston and the rings are NOS. And they are OEM yamaha. The top landing groove on the piston Will not fit one of the rings. I have measured everything the rings are the same but the grooves are a little bit different. One is ever so slightly wider than the other one. It's the top one that's narrower. So consequently one of the rings will not fit in the top groove. Has any one ever heard of this? I'm wondering if there are supposed to be 2 different types of rings for this piston. It almost seems like it would be a manufacturing defect from yamaha. Or that maybe the rings are supposed to be a little different.

What town are you in

First

Did you hone the cylinder? looks like it has some noticeable score marks on it.
