Race ready DT175A (pre-75).
« on: April 15, 2009, 09:16:44 pm »
Sold.

SOLD, pending payment.

OK, so its no Ossa Phantom, but it is remarkably competitive, ultra-reliable, easy to ride and lots of fun. I doubt that you'll find a better pre-75 race bike for the money...

Only a few meetings since full rebuild (back to bare frame). Even with fat useless me riding it, it never finishes worse than mid-pack among the full 250s and open class pre-75 bikes. I lent it out to a mate after I busted my leg at Buladelah last year, and he was running 3rd/4th on it, the first time he'd ever ridden it!

1974 Yamaha DT175A-MX.

Engine. Freshly rebuilt, all new bearings and seals through the bottom end.
Very good compression.
Ported barrel, standard bore.
28mm carby from DT250A.
Electronic ignition.
YZ125A pipe fitted with larger stinger & custom silencer to suit 175 motor.
Has always been run on Motul M800, & Motul gearbox oil.
Engine is incredibly tractable, and still howls like an MXer should.

Suspension/wheels/brakes.
34mm forks, excellent chrome, new seals.
Mullholland shocks.
YZ wheels with alloy rims, F & R.
MX250A front brake.
YZ250A alloy triple clamps.
Both tyres in good condition (about 90% tread remaining).

Other stuff.
Big foot pegs.
Nearly new chain and sprockets.
All excess brackets removed from frame.
Good quality alloy handle-bars.
Absolutely race ready - always breezes through scrutiny.

Tons of spares, including:
Motor parts galore.
Headlight + tail-light to turn it into a Vinduro weapon.
MX125A airbox.
Original DT175 forks and wheel.

Can easily be turned into a 125 - just needs a 125 top end and new number-plate back-grounds. My similar DT125A racer is highly competitive among the CRs and YZs that attend the HEAVEN meetings.


Yes, the bike wasn't quite finished when that photo was taken!


Sold. Asking $1000 with all of the extras and spares. Will happily sell for more with a 32mm carby, and/or with a MX125A gearbox (closer ratios).

Bike is in Yass NSW, can possibly deliver to certain areas (inc CD6).

Looks like a top value bike Nathan.
I would get it but I have to sell one of mine to make space for the new arrival.. Just wondering if you had a chance to see if you had YZ250F forks or the inner tubes? Do you know off hand if these should have a lower metal bushing.
Cheers Brett

:D That's exactly why I'm selling it...

Can't help with info on the forks, sorry. There's plenty of other 38mm Yammie fork tubes here, if you think that something else might be the same.

Freaky, got at least one spare crank, but will need a rod kit.
The MX gearbox either goes with this bike, or I keep it (well, unless you want to offer me an outrageous amount of money for it... ;D). YZ-A gears are closer ratio than MX. I reckon that the MX ratios would suit this bike best.

Footpegs are from one of those frikken Pit Bikes. About $50 and are decent quality (unlike many). Fit straight into the Yammie peg mounts.

Nathan does the CT175 have the same crank?

No. They're almost the same, but the splines for the primary drive are different - CT1/AT1/AG have six (or 8?) splines, while the later bikes have a single keyway.

I do have spare early cranks too - might even have a good one of them.

Dunno, just went into the Pitbike shop in North Wollongong and asked for 'em. Can't remember the shop's name - Urban Motos or something similarly offensive.
They brought out these things that looked pretty good, so I bought 'em.

Rod kits are easy - they're the same as all of the YZ125s before the H, and the same as CT1/AT1/AG/DT125/twin shock 175 and the early monoshock DT175.

My DT is paid for and delivered, BTW.
