Yamaha Enduro Thread

So I went to see the bike and it was a bit of a let down. The seller had a few other DTs and it was apparent that this one was the red headed stepchild with all of the parts that were not good enough for his keeper bikes. He was asking 1200 and I offered 800 but he stood firm at 1000.

I drove home empty handed and was comfortable with not over paying.
 
Spring has sprung, so it was time to take the old girl out of hibernation. She fired up with only two kicks after sitting for four months.

I discovered my chain was even more oiled than when I left for the ride when I got home. Looks like the shifter shaft seal is leaking.
 
My first real bike was a '73 DT125 and the first job was at a Yamaha dealer in the late 70s in Asheville NC, I swear they sold 100s of DTs, of every flavor. You got to where you could work on them blindfolded, we didn't see allot of 4Ts but plenty of DTs, XTs, YZz and MXs. I'll always have a fondness for those machines :thumb
