Nice toy to have as a 90s high school kid. Sold it dirt cheap when we moved. Clutch broke, kept getting flats.

I have a 72 DT 250, what a bull in the woods !!!
Have been looking for a DT 125, DT 175, or even a Suzuki 175, or 250 to restore and ride, nothing for static display. Live in Erie, PA if anyone knows of any smaller Street/Trail bikes in need of some TLC !?!
Got to love the 2 strokes !!!

I bought a $70 ’75 DT 175 and the wiring is a mess. Wanting to go the no battery route and just plumb it straight to ignition (cut-off included of course). Wondering what you ended up doing.

Endruo had one just like it when I was a kid . 62 years old now . But I love the look of these old bikes . Mines runs as long as I spray gas in the intake . So I guess I need a new carb , or replace the carb. But I would like to find another bike for a parts bike , tach. Speedometer turn signals. And the guy I got it from did away with the oil injection, so u have to mix the gas. But I want to make it back to normal . Any ideas out there . I am in michigan thanks for anu help

In amazing shape. Only paid $800 and drove it home. Somebody traded it in at the dealer and the dealer just wanted the old bike out of his shop. Some people just don’t see the value in vintage stuff. Those people make me happy because they still it for cheap.
