YAMAHA DT400
« on: April 19, 2013, 01:29:01 pm »
i am looking for a 76 - 80 DT400 yamaha.
This is the monoshock model.

The monoshock DT 400’s were only made in 77 (red) & 78 (yellow)

Geoff I had a white tank 1980 one, think it had a black and a blue stripe on tank.   Here I have found a piccy in "Bike Pics" of a similar animal.

Here you go:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/271189552292?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

Looks rough but is a runner.

Don't trust that guy, he says it out dragged a TT600
He’s obviously lying :D :D


Is the white DT a 400 Tim ?
The 250's were different colours.

I guess I stand corrected but I only remember the red and yellow ones.

Yes Geoff the later ones came as 250's and 400's in white different coloured stripes.   The 400 I had was another fully registered bike I stupidly on sold.

So you don't like DT400's or Triumph engines, Mick?
Wish my local tip had these goodies.
