DT 250 C turn signal problem

Hi everyone,

I have a question about the electrical system on my DT 250 C.

When I turn on the turn signals, the tail light gets noticeably dimmer. Is this normal for the original 6-volt electrical system, or is it a sign that something is wrong?

If it’s not normal, where should I start looking? The battery, ground connections, voltage regulator, or something else?

Thanks for any advice!

I would clean all of your grounds and connections. It will only help. I will mention that this is pretty normal. If you are riding the bike, the RPMs will be higher and more current will be generated, so it will not be as bad compared to idle.

DT 250 C in Europe

Hi everyone,

Last month I picked up a DT 250 C here in Europe. I believe it’s a US model because the VIN starts with 450. However, my DT is blue. I’ve read that the DT 250 C was also available in blue, but I’m not sure if the US version came in that color. Maybe someone here knows more about it?

The bike is mostly original. The only parts missing are the mirror, the front brake cable guide on the front fork, and the original rear shocks.

You can also see on the fuel tank that there used to be some lettering or a decal that said “Pretty Diamond.” Does anyone know if that was an original dealer decal or something added by a previous owner?

Thanks in advance for any information!

Thanks for posting the pictures. If you could take a picture of the VIN number that is stamped into the metal frame that would help identify it because the European bikes had a special Asterix next to it and the US models never had that mark.

1972/73 yamaha 80

Looking for more info and chat about the bike. I have had this one for about 10 years and I got it from a garage sale. It has everything EXCEPT the carburetor and the rubber elbow for the air filter. Can I find aftermarket anywhere or anything will work? Thanks!

Welcome to the site. Often times bikes were made the year prior, in Japan, so it would be ready to selling the following year. The vin sticker may say 1972, but that is the manufacturer date (not the model year). The model is a 1973 GT1.


The rubber elbow is still available directly from Yamaha the part number is 367-14453-02-00


Original carb's are rare, but that would be my first choice. If you go aftermarket...I would buy a genuine Mikuni over a Chinese Knock off.

All you can really is: before you close the seat, make sure the rubber's are straight. They can move/pivot.

Fill jet problem

Has anyone experienced this problem with their AT 1 E.

The carb fill port needle valve keeps dropping out into the bowl. Bike stops. Won't start of course. I changed the one that was originally in as the one I had was wider. I experimented by making a clip from lock wire and it's worked for the past 300 miles. I noticed fuel starting to flood out which obviously happens.

I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

BTW . . . I believe the fitment spot you are referring to is for mounting the left side rear brake conversion
