SOLD:VINTAGE PROJECT! 1975 Yamaha DT175B NO TITLE but mostly complete

**Mr2mch** · 08-24-2012, 11:57 AM

SOLD to TXrider60....THANX Burt!!

I bought this bike several years ago from a local mechanic who was clearing out his shop before closing it down. I actually bought two bikes...this DT175 & a DT100 which will be listed shortly. Neither bike has a title. They were acquired under a mechanics lein which I do not have.

The bike does turn over & according to the mechanic,it does have spark. He sprayed ether into the carb while kick starting to verify this. According to the VIN number this is a 1975 model DT175B (the B denotes year as does the first 3 numbers 443-1*****) well the first 3 numbers can be for a 1974 also (443-0*****) The engine number matches the frame number. The odo shows appx 7K miles but I can't confirm this.

All key locks match & there is 1 key. The tank lock is stuck as is the steering lock on the side of the neck & the helmet lock. Some pieces are "missing in action"....The complete tail light & bracket...all turn signals..headlight seald beam & various other small bits. (parts interchangability between models is very good on these bikes)

$200 or trades for street riding gear. That price gets ya a genuine numbers matchin DT175 project bike)
Located near Lake Waco

I'm an XL-XXL in jackets...3-4X in most pants...2-3X in gloves..L-XL in helmets. NOT A DIRT BIKE GUY so Street/Adventure gear preferred.

MaxxTraxx · 08-26-2012, 07:41 AM

Will it run at all? Still have spark?

If you read my description..it sez that the mechanic told me it had spark. He did say that the bike tried to crank but I didn't put that in. I haven't verified anything since I bought the bikes. I'm not much of a mechanic & only bought the bikes for part out.

MaxxTraxx · 08-26-2012, 04:22 PM

Ok, I didn't know if you had gotten it to start or even messed with it.

**Mr2mch** · 09-07-2012, 07:01 AM

The DT is still available.....with a lower price!

**Mr2mch** · 11-27-2012, 07:25 AM

Winter project???

Desert Skies · 11-27-2012, 08:33 AM

Had the same bike when I was a kid except mind had a 21" front wheel. I spent some time in the motor and got it to the point I couldn't keep a clutch in it.

If I didn't have a plate full, this would be a fun project.

Good luck on the sell.

**Mr2mch** · 11-27-2012, 07:50 PM

Thanx....I'm hopin someone has the time for this bike....& the mechanical skills.... I don't really qualify on either account. I am good with findin parts though.
