In this video I reinstall my worked DT175 Engine after over a year of tinkering. I also show some important things to do when installing the engine and connecting parts.
Hey bro, good job, im nearly positive that the RT 180 is the same bike as a DT 175. Which is relieving, i was worried about finding parts for my RT. Its not my only bike but i want to keep it running. Parts for it are such a pain, the only stuff that comes up is used stuff on ebay. Thanks bro
These dt 175s are so weird, ive heard they still make them like this! ive got a dt 125 lc mk1 from 1983, which is basically this bike but liquid cooled. in europe here these DT:s evolved into modern bikes and theyre like everything else out there, plastic fairings and modern looks , but in asia they still make this mk1 which i find really weird lol
Hi. I enjoy watching all your videos about the DTs. I also have a DT175 project bike I started more than a year ago but now just collecting dust in the shed. I see that the reed cage is not exactly made for the DT175 that is why you need to make an adapter. May I know what is the part number or for what bike that reed cage is for so I can order. Thanks a lot and keep on making interesting videos. Cheers.
The previous video's on this bike I showed some of the performance upgrades I have done to it. I also did a video on porting a early dt175 barrel which will also help
Nice one mate, Any tips on where to get parts? Am in need of the air fin rubbers, be good to know where to get a rebuild kit also (barrel,head and piston)
I generally use a quality two stroke oil like castrol and for the transmission/ clutch oil I use a motorcycle engine oil that's around 10w40. Any decent brand will do, Repsol, yamalube, valvoline ect
No that's for the transmission and clutch. You can use many types of gear oil as long as they are ok for a wet clutch. Straight 30w is pretty good too, was a while ago so it might have 30w in it.
Nice job mate I am rebuilding my engine on my DT175 just a quick question what torque specs for the head and barrel did you use as I can not find anything on torque specs cheers
I used a V-Force 4 reed block for a Yamaha YZ85. Part number V4R82A-i and I made the spacer so I didn't have to destroy my intake to make it fit. Hope this helped.
I carefully cut along the join with a angle grinder. Removing the outer side of the fat part of the chamber, removed the restrictions and welded it back together and got it ceramic coated
Awesome video and awesome bike! I've just got a DT175 and great wee bike. Thanks for posting
Yeah man they are a wee rocket.
Glad you enjoyed it.

Yeah man I totally agree with you there haaha
Am an Aussie in Asia with a 2002 DT(old school version remade)
They are also fold brand new in my country. Kenya. Air cooled and everything.

Hey man glad to hear you like the videos.
The reed cage was a V force 4 for a yz85 yamaha, yep it didn't quite fit so I made a adapter
I got one too. Want to upgrade it. Performance style. So if you have any good ideas or links ot would be really appreciated. Nice bike btw!

Nice one mate,
Any tips on where to get parts? Am in need of the air fin rubbers, be good to know where to get a rebuild kit also (barrel,head and piston)
Some of the bits I got for it were from Cmsl and motor parts, ie rod and piston from a place in Japan called Tkjr
Bro iam from india i have head and cylinder new art piston i want to sale bro can you buy
Do these yamahas have the silenced expansion chamber like the wr/dt 200? If so, Removing that would give really good performance gains
Yep they do and I did cut it open and gutt it and weld it up.
@@TheMotorcycleForge yeah sick. I can't wait to get an old dt175 and trick one out. Looks fun
Yeah man, definitely is a ton of fun.
Which oil do you use in engine? And also oil bottle?
I generally use a quality two stroke oil like castrol and for the transmission/ clutch oil I use a motorcycle engine oil that's around 10w40. Any decent brand will do, Repsol, yamalube, valvoline ect
Engine oil you use 10w40 4T?
No that's for the transmission and clutch. You can use many types of gear oil as long as they are ok for a wet clutch.
Straight 30w is pretty good too, was a while ago so it might have 30w in it.
gday there Where video of you make fiberglass airbox? i was really interested on see that
Unfortunately I have been super busy with racing lately and haven't had time to make it.
Hopefully I can make it very soon.
Nice job mate I am rebuilding my engine on my DT175 just a quick question what torque specs for the head and barrel did you use as I can not find anything on torque specs cheers
Thank man, head nuts are 25nm and barrel are supposedly 15nm according to the manual.
@@TheMotorcycleForge cheers mate awesome
What model reed block did you use ??
I used a V-Force 4 reed block for a Yamaha YZ85.
Part number V4R82A-i and I made the spacer so I didn't have to destroy my intake to make it fit.
Hope this helped.
Does it suffer with any kick back
No it's actually really good when kicking over doesn't kick back at all.
How’d ya derestrict the expansion chamber mate?
I carefully cut along the join with a angle grinder. Removing the outer side of the fat part of the chamber, removed the restrictions and welded it back together and got it ceramic coated

She is not to old, only 1988
What torque for flywheel please
Manual Says 70nm
