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! 😂


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 look…

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.

1995 yamaha rt180

I recently purchased a 1995 Yamaha RT180 with a snapped throttle cable. I'm having a very hard time locating a replacement for the RT 180 but have come across a bunch of the RT 100 does anyone know if they are compatible? Open to any other recommendations thank you

Hello Danny ... Unfortunately, I don't have a solution for you other then getting a custom made cable. I've never tried that swap in person, but most likely it won't work, as the DT100 has a much smaller carburetor on it then your RT180.


If somehow it's even long enough to reach the carb at full turn (problem #1) . . . and if you manage to get it attached (problem #2) . . . the inner cable probably won't have enough slack to let the throttle slide drop down. (problem #3)


Best of luck anyhow, and thanks for asking.

New (to me) DT100E jigsaw puzzle

Howdy and thanks for the add! I just acquired this 1978 DT100E "freebie". A buddy of mine got it five years ago or more and decided to restore it, so he completely disassembled it. And that's as far as he got. Now he's cleaning out his garage, so he gave it to me. My very first motorcycle (45 years ago) was a 1972 DT2-250 (which I sometimes wish I had never gotten rid of). I'm more of a street bike guy, but hey, a small dirt bike will be fun to have. I've had about 15 bikes over the past 12 years and currently have three (now four, with this one). It's going to be "interesting" cleaning this up and getting it reassembled. I'm very glad that this site provides the service manuals and parts list; those will be very helpful.
