New Members: Introduction

Hello and welcome!


My Name is Devin. I designed and maintain this website. It is for everyone to talk and share information, about Yamaha 2 strokes. It is mainly focused on Yamaha Enduros, but all Yamaha 2 strokes are welcome.


I have gasoline running thru my veins. I bought my first Yamaha Enduro when I was 16 years old. I currently own 175+ Yamaha Enduros. Yes, it is a real sickness! but it is better then being addicted to drugs or alcohol! ๐Ÿ˜‚


I served 20 years in the Air Force. During that time, I deployed 8 times. I was a vehicle mechanic, and technical school instructor, teaching students, on vehicle maintenance. Now that I am retired, I can fully dedicate my time and attention to vintage Yamaha 2 Strokes.


My favorite model is the 1970 Yamaha CT1B. I love them so much, I have 17 of them. I lookโ€ฆ

Like you I am addicted to Yamaha Two-strokes, only I am partial to the IT's. I love the enduros but only had one . A '72 360, great bike and I wish I still had it. I have owned eight IT's and currently have a '80 IT425 and a '77 IT400. Overall I have owned 43 bikes and there is 8 in my garage now. I understand the "sickness". There is no cure.

Thanks for the Tribute Videos

Devin I want to thank you for all the Tribute Videoโ€™s. I appreciate the efforts you put into them. I love the period correct photos and I often pause the videos to take in the surroundings. The homes, the cars, the clothing, etc. I wish I knew how many of the photos are from your own personal archives. Iโ€™m sure thereโ€™s many. And I thank you for slipping in one of my photos. It was a pleasant surprise. If you ever do one on the JT1 mini enduro I can share a couple grainy period correct photos of me abusing mine. Thanks again Devin, and please keep them coming.

DT400B owners manual

I am finding two versions of DT400B owners manuals. I am familiar with the dark orange/brown version, but I am questioning the one that shows an image of the bike. Is that a knockoff version or did Yamaha actually have two versions?

Some models had a couple different versions, but what you are showing is definitely a reproduction.

1st Shake down run on the Beach

Finally got time to load up the '72 AT2's for a run down the beach so the wife could get comfortable riding.

She did well. Getting ready to buy a toy hauler and take them with camping.

Nice pair!

I love the patina. Bikes like those do NOT need repainting. Just make them mechanically safe and sound, which Iโ€™m sure you have already done.
