Pick this up a few days ago. Does anyone know anything about them ? I haven't found too much online. It definitely needs a carb rebuild. But it runs ok. My main concern is it's a 74 and has oil injection.. I'd love to remove that and premix myself. I also am thinking about doing a top end. But the way I am I'll want to put a new crank in just for peace of mind ... I just am not sure where to find any parts. Iv never ran into this problem before. Usually I can find parts for anything ...

Nice find,looks in do able condition,never had one or worked on one,when I need old parts babbits Yamaha website supplies the OE part number and then it,s just fishing for new old stock(lots around) or try a dedicated Yamaha forum.strange when your bike was new I was to young to ride one.

Hey man I'm only 22 lol. I wasn't born for a while. And this thing was being riddin around. I hope to have her nice by spring. I just don't know if I should do a top end or crank aswell. I haven't seen many two stroke motor cycles on the road recently lol

Yeah,I was riding and working on them when they were new!125 had electric start,its brother the 175 was just kickstart and a bit more simple..Con rod kits are still available so the crank can be rebuilt by the right person,,Iron cylinder liner had plenty of oversizes too..Had some great times on those bikes!!

I haven't seen many two stroke motor cycles on the road recently lol I wouldn't, worry about the top end or crank till you have it purring,maybe a decoke and check for crank play,your engine is a bit more complex than the usual 50\70 cc on this forum.

Nice find. It looks in nice condition for the year. In a lot of markets it was called the DT125. Perhaps searching for that might turn up more info. Like John said there was a 175cc model as well. They were everywhere here. Though I'm not sure, but I would guess most of the parts would be interchangeable. As they look identical.
