1970 yz / dt
« on: January 28, 2014, 12:29:38 am »
Hi. Can someone please tell if the frame of the dt and yz are the same from 1974? Im building up a yz 125 from parts but am yet to find a good frame. I have however found a dt frame of the same year about 50km away going cheap. While i would like the right frame eventually i would like to start putting it together so thought this might be a quick fix. Also are there any other parts that are interchangeable without affecting the power or handling?
Cheers

I recommend you try and find a MX125a/b or MX175a/b frame. Weld on the tabs for the strap tank and your done. Good luck.

this is the frame you don't want

but any dt100/125/175 that looks like this will do the trick ;)

I've been racing an MX125a for years and believe the frame differences between the DT/MX/YZ are so small its not an issue.
obviously all the DT rego/lighting brackets etc will need to be ground off and possibly a few other smaller brackets welded on but
the DT's are a great donor bike for the MX/YZ125's
the DT100 frames have slightly different rear engine mount (width) brackets
in the shed here I have the DT100a, DT125c and my little MX125a
go for it!
