- OUT FOR A RIDE on a 1977 YAMAHA IT400, and we found a GREAT Trail to Ride. Today we will be Riding a 30 mile long, 150 year old COW path. Rare to find in this area of the east coast in USA, these tracks are long gone … private property signs have claimed them all, this track goes thru people’s property but has eminent domain since it was here way before they were. It is a great trail for just bobbin along kicking up some dirt and Enjoying The Ride.
Come along get comfy and let's go … OUT FOR A RIDE !

I have a 78 IT400 and It's a blast to ride. Its awesome to see these old bikes still being ridden. The IT's have that sound that's totally unique. Great job on the video.
Thank you so munch ,they are great bikes and they are so much fun to ride they are starting to be hard to find. it is winter here and I can't wait to ride this spring and summer enjoy the ride Stuart and see you on the trail!!!
Thanks Brings back memories. Of all the bikes I have had The IT400 had to be one of my favorites.
mine too
@@enjoytheridesports7343 im getting a it400 tommorow. Is there a guide for restoring these?
@@travissturm2531 guide not really, get a manual, ... and check out how each part works and fits... and take photos as or before you remove each part then clean or paint or polish the parts if motor is good disassemble the bike ..replace or find parts needed ... have fun with it and take your time ....enjoy the ride Travis.... need help hit me up but i am slow to respond ,
@@travissturm2531 check this one out czcams.com/video/M2rwo3dGarc/video.html
@@travissturm2531 Clymer or Hanes manuals are very good repair and or restoration info, probably the best you can get.
Those were/are fun bikes. Nice bike.
True and Thank You!
You sir are a lucky man
The ride was enjoyable
And what a great bike.
Hell of a bike IT’s are my fave I’ve had 175’s and 200’s 79’-86’ and they are hard to beat. Compare upkeep on a new 4 stroke and it’s a simple equation
This One Still Rippin up the Trails! check this one out czcams.com/video/M2rwo3dGarc/video.html
I enjoyed the ride.
Nice! I have a 1976 IT 400 C nearly ready to ride. Can't wait till warmer weather gets here in Colorado.
I just bought a 76 it400 a couole weeks ago, it's a badass bike
True That and FUN!
Hi Steve
I bought one yesterday. Not had it running yet as stale fuel, its all original though.
Any advice would be appreciated
@@simonwyatt6453 Have Fun with it, fixing it up and Riding it, any questions hit me up and I will try to help!
@@enjoytheridesports7343 Many thanks for the reply and offer of advice. They are great bikes, very torquey and very rare now. Mine is up for sale now as I have too many bikes and need the space.
They are fantastic to ride and there's little chance of seeing another on uk roads.
Have fun with yours and thanks for sharing the video.
@@simonwyatt6453 it scared you don’t lie 😂
Dude I love the bike
Thanks Me Too!!! It is a Fun Bike!
I am from Coudersport PA, that is where you were at. This used to be an old rail-road grade, and I have rode through that same trail on bikes, ATV's and snowmobiles many times. How funny to randomly stumble upon a youtube video, and there is your hometown! BTW that river you rode through was the upper Allegheny River that meets in Pittsburgh. Cool Video!
Hey Jeffery You’re Correct! However at the Time of the Ride I did not know that.
I did learn that later on , The whole area is Beautiful and a great area for me to Ride and explore. Ya slim chance to run into a video of a trail you know so well. . Hey Jeffery after miles house where is the rest of the trail or RR bed? I was hoping it went pass gold to Ulysses ? Any other trails in the area you could inform me of ?? Thanks Again Tony PS there is another video of the area on my channel take a look.
im putting this engine in a go kart
holy molly that will be some go go go kart!
Your handsignals are wrong!! Use your left for both turns.. left arm straight out is for a left turn. Left arm out bent up at the elbow means you are turning right... be safe, great bike....from Wyoming USA 🔫🤠🇺🇸p.s stay safe and healthy everybody GOD BLESS OUR COUNTRY
You are correct, and left arm out and down is stop, But I Think u and I are the only ones that know that! LOL Thank you Bill and GOD Bless you and your family as well as the GREAT USA!! Enjoy The Ride Every Day Bill!!!
@@enjoytheridesports7343 I forgot to mention the stop signal...lol.. good catch... it's winter here, are you still riding comfortably? I have a few rare bike's laying around my shop. One I'm interested on gathering how common they are across the ponds...lol is a 1975 Suzuki re5. It's a weird little rotary engine 2stroke.. anyway thanks for the video's and appreciate your hard work...from Wyoming USA 🔫🤠🇺🇸p.s stay safe
Actually, both signals are appropriate according to the Utah drivers handbook.
More videossssss!!!
Thanks for watching ...Here is a few more ENJOY.
Had one of these in 77. It was a beast. Between us we had a 175 and 250 and my 400. It was a wheelie monster. Could do wheelies in all gears. At the time it was about the quickest thing on dirt and was quicker than a cb750 to 140k on the road. So much fun.
Looks pretty good on the trail. I had a WR 500 for a while and it was a bit too much, and I geared it down but I sold it, a bit too much, and when geared stock too much speed in tight trails.
This looks good and doesn't seem to load up too bad.
Hi Eric I would like to have a wr500 in my collection they keep going up in price but ya it is a monster of a bike the IT400 is a Enruro and a IT Bike not as hot as the wr but a lot of fun and set up for tooling through the trails it has a heavy fly wheel making it easy to go very slow with no clutch pulled in ,but has a got kick if needed ans it is street legal! thanks Man.
I heard you say this is north central pa, im in south central pa. Id like to ride here. Can you give more info?
I live in new jersey, are the older it bikes easy to make street legal? I know jersey is easier then pa! The it has a head light and a brake light and speedo. Really cool bike! Looking into them! I currently ride ,a 85 xl600r. Cool video! Nice seeing a old bike being ridden!
No t sure if pa is easer I think it depends on the bike my good friend in NJ turn his cr250r into a tagged bike but it was not easy to get thru NJ if you wish to sell your XR,I would be interested to buy it, let me know? Enjoy The Ride!
Help anyone tell me what years and models are compatible with a 77 it400D ?
As far as what parts buddy ? Bike’s within a year or two of each other can usually swap a few parts.
The best it ever built very reliable enduro bike very well made they were great value for money
Agreed and good looking in those colors Blue and Yellow!
I have the same bike, do you know where I can order a new rear shock or how I can adjust it because it is pretty bad.😂
It is a GREAT Bike!
look around on ebay , there was a co on ebay that could rebuild it i think they were in cal.
Enjoy
Tony
@@enjoytheridesports7343 Thank you
whats the top speed on the 400 or the fastest you have gone on it?
I really have no idea, I would guess 85 90 top speed maybe, ... it is tagged so on the road around 60 is my top speed.
@@enjoytheridesports7343 Mine could go a little over 50mph on the road; but I changed the sprocket set up the 3rd year I owned it .
Mine was clocked at 170 klms on a beach beside a Honda CB750 4
In 1977 when mine was brand new it would go 100 mph by the speedometer. Rawlins Wy. Great bike
Is that southwest virginia?
No mike, it is north western Pennsylvania
Hi how many gears on that one?
5, Most bikes have 5 gears some smaller bikes (125) and some new bikes have 6.
Dude you don’t signal with your right arm.
Running properly not that this one isn’t, they are a vicious trail bike and will keep up with anything with the right rider. 400 cc of two stroke power is more than sufficient for most situations.
Thanks funny thing the bike is on the bench and checking her out, piston carbs tuning... love this bike. it is all you say and a big comfy seat too, and not 4 feet tall. Enjoy The Ride DC
@@enjoytheridesports7343my first real bike was a 79’ IT175 and my last was an 86’ IT200 both great, that 200 was quick, especially after ported it, pipe, reeds, jetted etc with 85’ YZ250 forks and shock, 151/2” ground clearance. She was tall slim and light, with plenty of power 3rd gear wheelies with no clutch, just roll it on. Hope your doin OK and still riding 🐾✌️🇺🇸
