WANTED: Wheels for a 1979 DT400
« on: January 30, 2017, 04:31:38 pm »
WTB. Hi, looking for front and rear wheels (rim, spokes hubs), for a 1979 DT400. I imagine those from a 250 and earlier years will fit as well. I have good hubs but everything else is munted. Ta.

I am pretty sure that the DT400's run the same wheels as the XT500 Yamaha. I actually think the wheels that I used on one of my XT500C were from a DT400.

Edit.

I just had a look at one of the online Yamaha part lists and both front and rear hubs for the wheels on a 1979 DT400F have 1E6 prefixes which is the model code for the 1976/7 XT500.

Why do things the easy way, when with a bit of effort you can really make it difficult for yourself!!
