Vintage Yamaha Enduro Parts I bought from a motorcycle salvage yard.

Dear all!

Thanks to all who supported me with tipps, expertise and parts! My DT 360 is back on the road again after 2 years of work, time, money and sweat. 

The only problem was the adjustment of the brand new Mikuni VM30-83 which should be a substitute for the original VM30-SS. Now it´s running perfect with mainjet 200.

R.I.P. Mert Lawwill. Mert was a follower of the Legends Yamaha Enduro Facebook page. His impact on the motorcycle industry could not be measured. He was a true legend of the sport.

Well a pair of MX250As are now parked in my barn with the rest of the herd. I picked them up an hour from home on my son’s request. He bought them and will fund the refurbishing. I get to do the work…..

The seller used to race and decided he is too old to even think of riding. His wife was looking over his shoulder to ensure they left on my trailer. He was disappointed that I couldn’t get the bike started. Typical story. “It ran when he parked it years ago”. It’s not getting spark. The other bike was given to him as a parts bike.

He said when he stopped racing years ago he had the bike rebuilt at the local Yamaha shop that he dealt with thru his racing years. He said it has very few hours on it after the rebuild. He said it was…

Original, one owner,recited in his name,bought directly from him,517 miles,US title,100% complete 69 DT1B. So it's now mine !

I'm having a cylinder rebored to 66.5mm and Wiseco has the below two piston options, but they've told me neither is a direct fit for this year/model and that they don't offer other options. Disappointing because they do offer all sorts of options for 1978 and up.

I bit the bullet and bought a OEM/NOS one off ebay, but that's way to expensive to do more than once so Enduronut if you see this do you have any advice on other piston producers? Your name came up in multiple related posts. Thanks!

I've been riding and racing since 1972. I've had over 300 bikes but most were Yamahas. My first one was a 72 JT2MX. I currently have a 1978 Yamaha DT100, 1978 DT175, and a 1973 RT3 360 along with my KTM, Husky, Ducati, 2 Hondas, and a couple Honda vintage 3 wheelers. My RT3 is one ill restore to pristine, plate it and ride it on and off road.
